“For this year’s LeSportsac collection, I incorporated some of the same techniques for product organization that we use backstage,” says Pat McGrath, Global Creative Design Director for COVERGIRL. “For the 2011 collection with LeSportsac, I was inspired by the shade palette and sleek bullet of COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor; it’s one of my backstage essentials.”

“LeSportsac provides women with on-trend styles that work with her everyday routine. That’s why we felt it was so important to collaborate with Pat to bring style and ease into every woman’s beauty regimen,” says D’Arcy Jensen, Chief Creative Director and VP Brand Development. “We are thrilled to be teaming up with COVERGIRL and Pat for the second year in a row!”
