In the video, a bare-faced Gaga gets glam while detailing some of the benefits of her beauty line.
“Since starting Haus Labs, I’ve been able to really learn a lot about not just how people are using makeup and skincare products but also how products are made. That’s been really exciting,” she says. “One of my core goals at the company is to develop innovative and high-performing products that are meaningfully better than anything else you can find on the shelf. With our foundation, I really feel like we did that. Without using many of the harmful additives and chemicals that clean brands use every day.”
To start, Gaga applies the Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation (shade 110). Haus Labs’ foundation is powered by fermented arnica a plant-based topical used for skin irritations such as inflammation, redness, bruises and swelling.
“This ingredient is super special. It was inspired by own issues with redness on my face,” Gaga explains. “I have worn so much makeup for so many years, mostly on stage but off stage as well. Makeup really wrecked my skin, so something that’s really special about our foundation is it’s 70 percent skincare. I know we hear sometimes that foundations have a couple good ingredients in them, the truth is a lot of foundations use a little bit [of clean ingredients] and it’s not very active on the skin.”
The foundation offers light coverage with hydrating ingredients, and it’s available in 51 shades and is one of the top rated products on the brand’s site with over 11,000 customer reviews.
“It was so important that we had 51 shades,” Gaga continues. “Within 51 shades there are six shade families and within those shade families there’s a true balance. There are warm, neutral and cool tones for everyone.”

Her single off the album titled “Wings” doesn’t just aim to help you bring out your “inner light,” but acts as a bridge between beauty and music. The “Somebody Loves You” singer can relate to the messaging herself especially when reflecting on early in her career; when she while exploring stage makeup and discovering what techniques stuck with her the most.

“A winged eyeliner was the only thing I knew how to do, really, that seemed impressive to me at the time” she says in an interview with Billboard.

e.l.f. H2O Proof Eyeliner Pen
As you craft your wing or simple line across the lid, the eyeliner’s formula is quick-drying to avoid any smudging. Plus, its vitamin-infused ingredients will help nourish your lash line for practically all-day wear.
While there are many eyeliner techniques that claim to be the best, for the star, the secret to crafting the perfect winged eyeliner is knowing your eye shape.
“Whether it’s like my eyes are hooded, so it will look different on my eye than it will on my best friends,” she says. “And I think that it’s such a fun way to experiment and explore your self-expression through makeup. My individual wing is something that I’m always experimenting with and trying to get closer and closer to being the perfect eyeliner.”
It’s not just the skills she looked to hone in on though, the “Ignore Me” singer’s relationship with makeup has evolved over time shifting from a tool she relied on the daily, to a form of art that she uses to emphasize her natural beauty.
“I don’t have to put on a huge eyelash to feel like I’m allowed to be out in the world,” she says. “Instead of trying to change who you are, it’s about trying to accentuate who you are and it took me a little while to figure that out.”

For the singer especially, she finds it enhances her makeup saying she finds it brings “everything else to life.”
“That’s one of my favorite products to use on stage and just in life in general,” she says. “I think I have six of them now, and there’s one in every bag that I own just waiting for me to take out into the world.”
And when she’s performing on stage, Who has been experimenting with e.l.f.’s Power Grip Prime, which she claims is the primer “meant to keep everything on your face.”
“No matter what, I’m a sweaty little girl, I’ll tell you what,” she explains. “Because we dance so much, I often feel like I come off stage and I’ve done my best to keep [makeup] on my face. But if both my eyelashes are hanging on, I am very, very happy.”
