Patrick Ta shares his evolving relationship with Los Angeles, currently feeling a strong connection due to new friendships and positive experiences. He began his makeup career in Arizona before moving to L.A., where social media propelled his rise in the beauty industry, attracting high-profile clients. As a first-generation Vietnamese American, he fondly recalls spending weekends in his mother’s nail salon. Currently, he dedicates Sundays to friends, enjoying local markets and restaurants, demonstrating his appreciation for life's simple pleasures in L.A.
Right now, I'm obsessed with Los Angeles. I feel like I am experiencing new friendship groups. For me, what makes a place magical are the people that you surround yourself with.
I started my makeup career in Arizona. After convincing my parents to open a tanning and nail salon, I ended up filing for bankruptcy. My roommate helped me get a job at MAC.
I relocated to L.A., and with the help of social media - where I posted my work - my career took off. Celebrities began seeking me out to do their makeup.
I try to reserve my Sundays for spending time with friends. On the agenda is hitting up my favorite flea market, enjoying a seafood brunch at Catch and sober bar hopping.
