Patrick Starr facts

1. The social media influencer uses 3 Rs at the end of his last online username Starrr because the username was populated with an R and 2 Rs.
2. He managed to master Photoshop while still in high school, which helped him get a better handle on photography.
3. After graduating from high school, Patrick started working as a freelance photographer next to a bakery called Panera Bread, which was also his first job.
4. His interest in makeup came from Photoshop. He often had to touch up people’s faces in unedited photos in Photoshop. Patrick realized that if he could do the subject’s hair and makeup before shooting, he would save a lot of time in post-production. At the age of 17 he was a freelance photographer offering a hair, makeup and photography package.
5. Even before he became a photographer, Patrick’s earliest inspiration was makeover reality shows and beauty pageants that aired on local channels because he didn’t have cable TV or the internet for entertainment.
6. He ended up working in one of their stores as an on-call makeup artist for MAC cosmetics.
7. Patrick thanks a lot for a supportive family. He often states that his parents often discouraged him from wearing makeup when he was younger just to protect him from bullying. Having no sisters, he often practiced his makeup skills with his mother.
8. His YouTube channel’s popularity waned when a cancer-fighting expert, Talia Joy, who had nearly a million subscribers, became his girlfriend. Talia was featured as a cover girl on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , and the last notification on her YouTube activity feed just before her death was one of Patrick’s video tutorials that drove a large audience to his channel.
9. Famed makeup artist Manny Gutierrez and Patrick, male makeup artists struggling to survive in a highly competitive industry and saturated with much prettier female artists, bonded to become best friends and frequent business partners.
10. Patrick and Manny were once kicked out of a massive makeup fair called IMATS for attracting an unnaturally large crowd of fans who were vocal and difficult to control.
11. In his opinion, a no-makeup look is a lot harder to hit than an all-over glamorous appearance.
12. He mastered the art of highlighting and contouring by understanding the different shapes of faces and what they look like from afar as well as up close.
13. Patrick thought of his signature punch line ( makeup is one size) when he went shopping for Forever 21 and was disappointed to find out the store didn’t have a plus size range.
14. His top tip for those just starting out in any professional industry is to make friends with other people in the same profession so you learn to take your job seriously and don’t feel lonely in the first few days of your struggle.
