@emmagrede: This week on @Aspire with Emma Grede I'm sitting down with @patrick ta and this is a conversation I'm really glad we had. He went from high school dropout to one of the most recognizable makeup artists in the world. He built his entire career one client at a time, launched Patrick Ta Beauty, and now sells three blushes every minute in America. But Patrick didn't come in just to tell his success story. He came ready to talk about a launch that has recently pulled him into a much bigger conversation. About accountability, recognition and what happens when a business dispute is bigger than two people. In this episode we talk about:
✨ Going bankrupt at 21 and rebuilding from nothing
✨ How he built one of the top brands at Sephora from three products
✨ The recent controversy and what he has to say about it
✨ What accountability actually looks like when you're at the top of your game
✨ Why reputation is everything when your name is on the brand Our episode is out now on @YouTube , @Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts 🎙️✨ #patrickta #patricktabeauty #aspire #aspirewithemmagrede #emmagrede

He did not have to mention Painted By Esther because she is NOT the only MUA using this blush technique. She is very successful in her specific black skin clientele but Patrick has taken a technique & opened it up to ALL skin tones. Other brands have brought out similar products. He is Korean & it is a specific technique in Korea . It’s even a ‘Bollywood’ look but no one is creating drama from Asia.

He did. He was inspired by Esther but too proud to acknowledge that. Money is not everything Patrick. What you did was wrong.

He literally sent someone to her, to get their makeup done, and RECORD IT!!!! It was literally INTENTIONAL WITH NO REMORSE!!! He’s trying to do damage control, WAY TO LATE!!!! Defend yourself after waiting to see if you really would have to. BS!!!

People wouldn’t question integrity if there wasn’t a pattern of behavior. Also I’m confused why he can’t defend himself?

I’m tired of techniques that have been around forever being hijacked by the internet and given to an artist simply because they do it on the hottest celebrity or influencer. Leave Pat alone!

Watched the part about the controversy and I must I don’t think he gets it. It feels like he feels more wronged than anything. I hope he reflects and actually resolves this with Esther. It’s really on him to reach out with intention.

Somebody lets me know if he has spoken about not paying Avonna Sunshine, he downplayed Esther’s influence and if there’s been an apology issued to her. He’s had WEEKS to address the issue, but chose not to… speaks volumes
