Who's that roaming around London in leotards, bright bodycons and an impressive array of leather bustiers? Yes, its Lady GaGa. Yes we love her. What a way to kick off 2009, with a feisty New Yorker leading the way into a credit-crunch free zone of bountiful lashes, gold manicures and dynamic face art to go with it!
Lady GaGa’s look is based on unabashed drama. There is no debating that. However, before you go playing with colour, make sure you get the canvas right! To start you off, we recommend you use a good primer to even out your skin and create a flawless base. Why not try Model Co’s Face Base Skin Primer (£23.49)? The box is bright pink after all! We don’t like foundations that are too heavy or cakey so we just can’t get enough of BECCA Luminous Skin Colour (£32.30). But if you have a tricky skin tone to match, try the Stick Foundation (£34.26), which comes in 30 different shades. Make sure you are logged into the Clinic for help choosing the right shade. BECCA Compact Concealers (£29.36) are designed to use after your foundation, which will wipe out any stubborn blemishes or bags under your eyes (generated by last nights shameless dance floor action). Finish off with a dab of Model Co Cheeky Tints (£17.62) in Rosy Red. Apply in a circular motion on the apples of the cheeks so your colour looks natural- finish off with a coy expression and you'll have the GaGa look down!
The eyes are where this look will really come into its own...it’s all about the false lashes. We love Model Co’s Flutter Lashes (£9.79). They come with an adhesive strip, so no messing around with glue. Apply them along the lash line. Once secure, complete that smokey look with Korres Sunflower Oil Shimmering Eyeshadow (£10.76) in 54S Dark Grey. Then use BECCA Eyeliner Compact (£19.57) in Barbarella to line your lids, making sure that you cover the edge of the lashes. Seamless! Now, this look is all about drama so don’t be shy and apply lashings of Model Co’s Fatlash (£15.66). That’s right, more!
How much of a statement do I want to make? This is the question you have to ask yourself when choosing your lipstick. We usually see GaGa in a fairly nude shade, in which case try the new range of BECCA Sheer Lip Tints (£21.00)- in Vendela perhaps. Or you can go the whole hog and make a serious impact with Fusion Beauty’s Plump & Re-plump Liquid Lipstick (£25.45) in Runway.
Finally, it’s the nails. Make like a magpie and reach straight for the gold. Go for Butter London’s Full Monty (£9.79). Always classy, never brassy- that’s what it says on the tin.
Now arm yourself with attitude, get on that dancefloor and Just Dance.
