How to have the best Sunday in L.A., according to Patrick Ta
Celebrity makeup artist and entrepreneur Patrick Ta admits that he is constantly falling in and out of love with Los Angeles — the place he's called home for the last 13 years. "[But] right now, I'm obsessed with Los Angeles," says the San Diego native. "I feel like I am experiencing new friendship groups. For me, what makes a place magical are the people that you surround yourself with, and this entire beginning of almost summer has been the best networking and relationship building that I've ever had in Los Angeles. I feel like L.A. is exciting me again." While Ta has lived in Southern California for most of his life, he got his start in the makeup industry in Arizona. After convincing his parents to help him open a tanning and nail salon (which he eventually had to file bankruptcy for), his roommate helped him get a job at MAC, where he honed his skills and became a freelance makeup artist. He eventually relocated to L.A., and with the help of social media — where he posted his work — his career took off, and celebrities like Shay Mitchell, Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Gigi Hadid and Camila Cabello began seeking him out to do their makeup. In 2019, he launched his eponymous beauty brand, which is known for its glowy products. As a first generation Vietnamese American, Ta spent his Sundays at one of his mom's nail salons in San Diego. "Weekends were their busiest [day], so we didn't have the weekends off to just chill, but after work I remember going to Red Lobster," says Ta. "That was such a big treat for me and my [older] sister because seafood was so expensive, and my mom would make us share. But if we were good with her at work, she would treat us to eating out." These days whenever he's not traveling, Ta tries to reserve his Sundays for spending time with friends. On the agenda is hitting up his favorite flea market, enjoying a seafood brunch at Catch and sober bar hopping in West Hollywood. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. 8 a.m.: Morning workout I wake up anywhere from 8 to 9 a.m. I have a home gym, so I'll usually work out with my friend. He will come over and we'll do our own circuit. I'm trying to be better and more consistent with it. Then we will either go and get a green juice from Whole Foods because it's walking distance from my house, and we always go for a little sprint. Read more: 12 unique L.A. flea markets to check out during your next treasure hunt 12 p.m.: Stop by the flea market I will go home afterward to chill for a little bit, and then I'll see what my friends are doing so I can start planning my day. I love going to the Grove and the Melrose flea market, especially if a friend is in town. There's a perfume stand there that I always buy a mango sticky rice perfume [from], and it also comes in a candle. I also love wearing hats, so I like seeing what hats they have. I like the Melrose flea market because I always run into people I know, too. I also love H. Lorenzo. I always shop at the shop on Sunset Boulevard. 3 p.m.: Seafood for brunch It's so cheesy, but I love Catch. I love sushi. I love seafood, and it's nice because it's on a rooftop. I love a sugar-free Red Bull. My favorite dishes are the truffle sashimi, the mushroom pasta with shrimp added and their baked crab hand rolls. Read more: 32 of the best weekend brunch spots in L.A. 4 p.m.: Sober bar hopping in West Hollywood Sometimes I want to go to West Hollywood to see my gay friends and be out and about and bar hop. What's so great about West Hollywood is you can walk around and see where everyone is. I don't go to a specific bar, because I actually don't drink. It's more of a thing to do with my friends. 7 p.m.: Netflix and steak I'll finish off my day or any sort of socializing around 7 p.m., then I'll go home and make myself some food. I have been obsessed with just eating a steak with avocado and A.1. Sauce, and watching whatever TV shows I like on Hulu or Netflix. Right now, I'm obsessed with the show "Sirens" [on Netflix]. 10 p.m.: Do my rigorous skincare routine I am super crazy about my skincare, and on Sundays I really try to condition my hair, my scalp, and I will always do a face mask. Then I'll do my skincare routine. I love exfoliating my body. I have this silicone exfoliant pad that I will use to fully exfoliate my body. I'll call it a night usually by 11 p.m. I always go into the office on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I don't really like to stay up that late on Sunday.

I was literally STALKING this product and got it as soon as it was early access. If you're a natural/light makeup girlie this is definitely worth it for you. I want the other color, too, lol!!! It's so glowy and gorgeous; it's definitely worth it. I have never been a Glow Recipe girl, but this is def a worth-it product." —skitty21Price: $25 (available in two shades) Saie's Glowy Super Gel brings the pearl skin trend to the forefront of your beauty routine. This water-based gel is full of hydrating glycerin and squalane to plump the skin, while its reflective properties add a radiant glow to the complexion. Plus, it's super lightweight and multiuse — you can mix it into your moisturizer or foundation, use it as a primer, or quickly apply it to the body for an all-over glow! Promising review: "This is the best glowy primer and base! Great for my dry skin and keeps me looking healthy and glowy all day long. Highly recommend." —cs1211Price: $17+ (available in two sizes and four shades) Summer Fridays' Lip Butter Balm wraps your lips in silky hydration that lasts for a while, thanks to shea and murumuru seed butters. It comes in a few semi-sheer colors and leaves behind a chic, glossy (no, not sticky — glossy) finish. Promising review: "This is my holy grail for my extremely dry lips. I love the feeling, and it stays on for a long time." —relax4lfePrice: $24 (available in 10 shades) Patrick Ta's Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo contains all of Patrick Ta's secrets for long-lasting wear. You're supposed to use the powder bronzer first and then "set" it with the crème contour — this creates a dewier finish than if you were to use crème then powder, while still offering a bronzed-goddess-glow that lasts all day. Promising review: "LOVE this contour! The pigment is amazing and blends so nicely on my skin. It plays well with my other makeup and gives me a nice contour. Both the crème and the powder are AMAZING!" —CaseyMarie123Price: $42 (available in four shades) Makeup by Mario's Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals, because it's the first cool-toned palette that has made my jaw drop in years. This is the palette if you've done your seasonal color analysis and need something neutral for your winter or summer undertones. Promising review: "I loved the original master mattes and its formula so I was very excited for this! It's basically a cooler version of the original, and it's become a new everyday staple. The formula and colors are everything I could've wanted!" —NanululPrice: $52 Nécessaire's The Body Wash, aka everything you need to turn your showers into a spa-like experience. This body wash contains AHAs, BHAs, *and* PHAs to gently exfoliate, and calming hinoki oil to ensure skin feels nourished after every wash — not tight! Promising review: "I've been using the eucalyptus one for years and thought I loved it, but after this, I'm never going back. The scent is divine. I've already tried to find perfume and candles with hinoki. It also works. I had some uneven skin on my chest that's totally cleared up. New holy grail for me." —meesh22Price: $28 Biodance's Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask to seriously up the ante on your morning shed. This mask is infused with collagen and grips onto your skin to allow ingredients to penetrate deeper. Most people sleep with this on (it does stay put — I can attest!) and remove it in the morning for a smooth, glowy complexion. Tata Harper's Clarifying Mask because it's what I rely on whenever I need a facial-like glow in an instant — and I'll never stop recommending it to anyone willing to listen. With AHAs and BHAs, this mask helps to calm acne, whisk away dead skin cells, and help radiate the skin. Promising reviews: "This mask has always given me results compatible to paying for a facial at a spa. I've been using it since 2015 I believe. Almost 10 years." —gardeniasunrise"I have hormonal fluctuation breakouts and use this mask once/week to keep my skin clear throughout the month. It hydrates and exfoliates at the same time, smells beautiful and skin is noticeably brighter, smoother immediately.

It's the perfect prep product for your five-minute makeup routine. Promising review: "I decided to try this based on the reviews, and I am so impressed. What a great find! I am so pleased with the results and the difference in how my skin looks. This serum leaves skin soft, smooth, and supple. It goes on easily and has no scent. I can use this with other products or alone. It truly does what it says. Love it!" —frangerinePrice: $18+ (available in two sizes) Shiseido's Ultimate Sun Protector Face and Body Lotion SPF 60+ Sunscreen because protecting your skin from the sun doesn't always have to mean slathering it in a white cast and gritty texture. This sunscreen glides on clear and soaks into the skin, leaving behind a radiant glow. Note: Based on the AAD Guidelines all sunscreens should have an SPF of at least 30 and protect against UVA and UVB rays. Promising review: "I love this sunscreen! Goes on beautifully and blends in without a white cast. Tried cheaper ones, but nothing compares! Amazing to combat Florida sun and my sensitive Tretinoin skin." —vanillakissesPrice: $25+ (available in two sizes) Gisou's Honey Infused Hair Oil allows you to hydrate, eliminate frizz, smooth your hairstyle, and add a sweet honey scent all at once. Plus, it works for all hair types, be it fine, thick, coarse, straight, wavy, curly, or coily! Promising review: "This is the best hair oil I've used so far!!

So so much better than before!" —meredith08Price: $25+ (available in two sizes) Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Bronzing Drops with Peptides, because TikTokers can't stop raving about the otherworldly radiance they get from this product.

Also, if you're debating over the price, it's worth it. Mine has lasted over a year I still have product left. Like, it's shocking me!" —LadyLondon4Price: $39 Olaplex's No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector restores hair back to its natural glory! This product contains Olaplex's Bond Building Technology, which repairs bonds that break due to things like heat styling, color damage, or chemical services. Promising review: "If you have curly hair (mine is 3b, 3c), this is a MUST have. I had heat damage, and it brought my curls back to life! I personally keep two bottles at home at a time because it's just that good." —raquelll97Price: $30+ (available in two sizes) Tarte's Tartlette XL Tubing Mascara if you're always after a mascara formula that makes it look like you're wearing lash extensions. Since this is a tubing formula, it's water-resistant, but it still washes off easily at the end of the day. Promising review: "I don't think I'll buy a different mascara ever again. It doesn't smudge or flake, and it comes off so easily with water you never have to scrub your eyes." —emilyxscottPrice: $15+ (available in two sizes and two shades) Make Up For Ever's Artist Color Pencil so you can line your lips, fill in your brows, or create dimension around your eyes, all with the same pencil! This multiuse pencil is a makeup lover's dream and comes in a high-impact, buttery formula. Promising review: "I have never gotten as many compliments on my lip until I bought this in 'wherever walnut.' I pair it with the vanilla Summer Fridays lip gloss, and it's the perfect combo!" —klc14Price: $24 (available in 11 shades) Dieux's Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Barrier Repair Cream has ceramides to plump all skin types — even sensitive skin! This cream is one of my go-tos for when my thirsty, redness-prone skin is in desperate need of a surge of moisture. Promising review: "This is my first review ever because this product is just that amazing! I have extremely dry skin, so it's hard to find a moisturizer that works for me. This lotion is AMAZING!! And I can feel the difference!" —nx6791Price: $45+ (available in two sizes) The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, which contains glycolic acid, one of the most popular alpha-hydroxy acids to help melt away dullness and dead skin cells. To help offset any irritation, this formula includes Tasmanian pepperberry derivative plus aloe vera to help instantly soothe the skin. Promising review: "I love using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner! It's been a game changer for my skincare routine, especially in helping to fade my post-acne marks. After consistent use, my skin feels smoother and more even, and the dark spots have noticeably lightened. It's gentle enough for regular use, yet effective enough to make a visible difference. Highly recommend it if you're dealing with post-acne pigmentation or just want brighter, clearer skin!" —alimka14Price: $8.70+ (available in two sizes) Davines' Solu Clarifying Shampoo is my absolute favorite for getting rid of gunk on my scalp and strands that accumulate throughout the week. This gorgeous-smelling formula contains buckwheat extract, which is chock-full of amino acids and antioxidants to help fortify and protect your hair from environmental stressors. Promising reviews: "Leaves my thick color-processed hair so light and soft, and my scalp feels less oily. I wash my hair 2–3 times a week on swim days and use lots of leave-in treatments. This works way better than shampoos to dechlorinate and clarify." —LottaLeiPrice: $37 Laneige's Bouncy + Firm Sleeping Mask, just in case slugging with Vaseline may be too much for you, but you still want something thicc to soak into your skin overnight. This mask contains a proprietary peony and collagen complex to help increase skin firmness, hydro-melt glow capsules to help support the lipid barrier, and hyaluronic acid for a boost in hydration. Promising review: "I struggle with keeping up with a skincare routine, so I was looking for a product to 'do it all.' I just use one other serum and this sleeping mask at night, and I wake up the next morning with soft, glowy skin. Definitely will repurchase." —tcmchelenPrice: $36 Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush is one of the best blushes for adding intense color while feeling weightless on the skin. Seriously, just one teensy drop is enough to add a flush to both cheeks, and it lasts for hours. Promising review: "I love this blush. I usually go for powder blush, and I was scared to try liquid blush, but I'm amazed with the results. Easy to blend and has a good amount of pigment. Would highly recommend." —gursimran13Price: $15+ (available in two sizes, two finishes, and in 16 shades) Clinque's Almost Lipstick in "black honey" that will go down in beauty history as one of the most versatile lip shades. This color looks amazing on practically everyone *and* it has an emollient-rich formula that creates a balmy, shiny finish. Promising review: "This is my go-to lipstick whenever I want a pretty sheer dark cherry lip. I can describe it as biting into a cherry and having residue on your lips. I love it; it's my third time buying it." —jacquelineb25Price: $25 (available in two shades) Ouai's St. Bart's Hair and Body Mist, because you deserve to smell like you're on a bougie vacation, even while you're stuck in your office.

Very distinct smell, and I promise it lasts all day long." —beachpreppyPrice: $28+ (available in two sizes) Tower 28's SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray helps relieve redness while hydrating the skin deeply.

It keeps my redness toned down and has really transformed my skin." —AliciaaaaaaaaPrice: $12+ (available in three sizes) Dae's Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream makes it quick and easy to lay your edges or create a slicked-back bun that lasts for hours. While other waxes can leave hair feeling crunchy, this styling cream contains dragon fruit and prickly pear seed oil to help lock in moisture and create a lustrous shine. Promising review: "I absolutely love this wand. It does a good job of holding my thick hair back when I do hairstyles. Even when I leave my hair out, I like to run the wand on my ends to smoothen them. And it smells so good. I was thinking about what new hair perfume to buy since my Gisou perfume is running out, but I realized that this product also works as a hair scent. It's so multifunctional, making it well worth the price." —kazianaPrice: $18 Drunk Elephant's Protini Polypeptide Cream, which has a whopping NINE different signal peptides that all do different jobs on your skin, like plumping, brightening, and, of course, moisturizing. It comes in airless packaging to keep your skinvestment fresh, and its pump is the perfect surface for mixing in your foundations or glow serums, if that's your thing! Tatcha's Rice Wash gets wayyyyy down into your pores to help get rid of gunk. While this soft cream-to-foam works to buff the skin clean, hyaluronic acid and red algae work over time to moisturize the skin for a nonstripping feel. Promising review: "Every time my friends or family come over, they use this. And every time they are like?? OK, wow that's amazing. It's just the best. I didn't know a cleanser that's on your face for like max 60 seconds could make such a difference, but it does." —KaityLauzPrice: $18+ (available in two sizes) Peace Out's 2% Salicylic Acid Early Stage Acne Dots helps you say buh-bye to breakouts in a flash. Pimple patches are great for keeping your fingers from picking at pimples (which leads to scarring... so don't do it)! What's more, these patches actually contain salicylic acid to help dissolve clogged pores and fade scars quicker. Promising review: "I tried these on a cystic flare-up, and it worked wonders!! I usually break out around my period, so I put them on a couple of spots I could feel forming. They cleared up areas that would've been around for a week." —Michelina $20 for an eight-pack
