The base of any Lady Gaga makeup look is a clear, glowing complexion. Lady Gaga’s skin always looks flawless, and this effect can be achieved by several steps. Firstly and most importantly is to drink plenty of water. The average amount a person should consume a day is about eight glasses. Keeping your body hydrated is extremely beneficial, and by doing so you’ll notice a huge difference in the look and feel of your skin. Secondly you should have a daily skincare regimen that works for your particular skin type. The basics of a good regimen are; an anti-acne cleanser, a toner, and a moisturizer. Remember, over cleansing the skin can result in dry, tight skin, so don’t overdo it. You want to maintain a healthy, supple complexion. Once your skin is clean and moisturized you can begin applying your favorite; concealer, foundation, and luminescent powder. Lady Gaga’s skin always has a healthy glow to it, and this can be achieved by applying a pearly luminescent powder on the; apples of the cheeks, nose, Cupid’s bow and forehead (basically the places which are naturally hit by the light). Another highlight option is a highlighting liquid, such as high beam by Benefit.  A Bronzer is optional.

Lady Gaga’s looks certainly aren’t for the timid, so get ready to load on the bold colors and false eyelashes! Ensure that you have several different shades of eye shadow in your kit, as well as; eyeliner, mascara, and false eyelashes. Lady Gaga often opts for a daring smoky eye, so you’ll want to purchase; black, dark gray, and white (for the highlight) eye shadow. The eyeliner should be either black or dark blue, similar to the one she wore at the opening of Jet Nightclub at the Mirage Hotel. Thick-lashed false eyelashes are a must for any Lady Gaga makeup look, as her looks are all about bold smoky eyes. Depending on how exact you want to recreate any Lady Gaga makeup look, it would be very helpful to have a picture of the look you are trying to recreate beside you.

Since Lady Gaga’s makeup looks are created with the eyes as the main focal point, the lips are usually kept fairly simple. A bold eye and lip would be overdoing it, even in Lady Gaga standards. Lady Gaga is often pictured with a glossy pink pout, a look that is extremely wearable and easy to recreate. Start by applying a touch of concealer of foundation to the lips, therefore concealing the natural color of the lips. Then apply a bubblegum pink lipstick of your choice. Blot once or twice on a tissue, then apply a clear gloss over the lipstick and voila! Your Lady Gaga makeup look is complete. Good luck!
