Gaga Tastic: Tutorial

Lady Gaga is definitely an icon of our time period. She has such a unique personality and sense of style, what is not to love. I was recently browsing Vevo and watched her new video for “Marry the Night”, and then I got the idea to do a tutorial. Since I don’t have the time to film one, I figured I would do a blog post tutorial, something I haven’t done yet. Below is the photo I used for inspiration.

  1. 1.       Start off by washing your face with a good cleanser, then finish off with a toner and moisturizer.
  2. 2.       Start off with a full coverage foundation and apply it all over your face with a stippling brush. I like Revlon Color stay Normal/Dry Skin.
  3. 3.       Conceal under the eyes and on any problem areas.
  4. 4.       Set the foundation with a powder on a big powder brush.
  5. 5.       Apply a light bronzer as a contour for your cheekbones and temples.
  6. 6.       Use a highlighter as blush on the apples of your cheeks for a shimmery pop.
  7. 7.       Apply an eye primer on your lids all the way up to the brow bone; then apply a silver cream shadow as a base. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Pots and Pans would work perfectly for this look. Apply the jumbo eye pencil only to the lower lid and then blend it out with your finger.
  8. 8.       Apply a sparkly silver shadow all over the eyelid using a flat shader brush.
  9. 9.       Apply a grey color in the crease with a crease brush; then blend with your favorite blending brush.
  10. 10.   Take your highlighter you used on your cheeks and apply it to your brow bone and inner corner of the eye.
  11. 11.   Line your upper lash line with a liquid liner.
  12. 12.   Line your waterline and tight line with a black eye pencil.
  13. 13.   Using an angle brush place a matte black on the outer half of the lower lash line, then the first silver on the inner part of the lower lash line
  14. 14.   Now apply some crazy false lashes and then blend the false lashes with your real ones by apply some mascara. Not too much!
  15. 15.   Then finish the look off with your favorite matte nude lipstickJ

If you try this look post pictures so I can feature you on my blog!
