Lady Gaga has modelled yet another look for us — setting the Internet ablaze after devising a lip-sculpting trick that has everyone trading in their lip pencils for brow pencils. You heard that right. It’s no shocker that Gaga has always maintained a tryst with beauty. She has redefined the concept of self-expression over the years — formerly debuting envelope-pushing aesthetics on every star-studded carpet, and currently asserting herself as the owner of beauty brand Haus Labs by Lady Gaga. That’s why we’re always taking notes. Because she knows what she’s doing — Lady Gaga’s expertise in makeup is no joke.
While dousing our eyebrows in bleach — or fastening comically-long lashes to the lids — isn’t something all of us can pull off, the singer does have a few everyday beauty-related hacks up her sleeve, and this one’s one of them. Here’s everything you need to know about sculpting the lips Gaga-style, and how to recreate the look at home.
A Brow Pencil For The Lips? Check It Out
Lady Gaga enlists a brown brow pencil into the equation — she goes over the contours of her lips with it — and overlines ever so slightly to add dimension to the lips. The singer-cum-songwriter goes on to retrieve three lipsticks for the rest of the hack. The first one is a cool-toned, deep brown that she applies to the outer thirds of the lip. The second features a bright shade of red that she paints the centre of her lips with, and the third is a dusty pink that she uses to blend both colours. Gaga concludes with a hydrating lip oil to endow the look with some sheen and glisten.
The point of the hack is simple. A darker shade encircling the outside of the lip, and a brighter shade filling in the centre highlights your pout even more — and the brow pencil just plays into the illusion. The third lip-shade serves to bind the two colours together — so the contrast isn’t jarring, and everything is cohesive and blended. That’s it.
