Paintedbyesther is a makeup artist, most popularly known for her transition blush techniques. She’s been in the spotlight this year especially because of the beautiful and immaculate makeup looks she’s done for a very popular Love Island contestant (Olandria). Many people have tried recreating her looks on TikTok as a result.
Patrick Ta is currently releasing a blush and powder product that’s being advertised using similar techniques to Esther, and it looks like he might have also trademarked “transition blush.” He has stated this is not a new technique and he’s been doing this type of blush for years.
Paintedbyesther posted a video, after lots of online discourse from fans who feel this was theft or at the very least, underhanded of Patrick Ta.
Something interesting to note is that Esther claims in this video that someone from Patrick Ta’s personal makeup team requested an appointment for Esther to do their makeup. However, they then requested if they could film Esther doing the makeup. Esther felt uncomfortable, as she was only booked to do makeup, not to teach her techniques (which she does offer, likely at a higher price), or be filmed while applying makeup. Esther canceled the appointment.
What do you all think?
