With so many talented women in the music industry, it’s no wonder they’ve become trendsetters for this generation. With their free-spirited individuality, their style serves as a constant source of inspiration.
A perfect icon to take inspiration from is the ever-evolving “Mother Monster” herself, Lady Gaga. Always original, this fiercely creative artist has taken fashion and beauty to new heights with her over-the-top style. One of her signature looks graced the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, showcasing bright red lips, smoldering smoky eyes, winged lids, and a quirky hair bow to top it all off.
Read on for tips on how to translate Gaga’s wildness to realness!
Hair
- Put two or three layers of extensions together, one on top of another, aligning the clips together at the top and hiding it inwards.
- Carefully brush all the tangles out of the extensions.
- Once the sides are folded together, spritz some hairspray on them to keep strays in place, Cautiously fold the two ends inwards, tying elastics around the middle once you’re done.
- Put out the hair on the sides to give it shape and volume. Use hairspray to tame stray hairs. Repeat until you get the desired shape.
- Then, take another layer (in the same color) and wrap it around the middle of you hair bow. Tuck in the stray hairs as you go. Secure with hairpins.
- Finish off buy using hairspray to stiffen the bow and keep it in place.
- Start with a clean, smooth foundation.
- Then, begin by layering your eye liner on—one layer at a time. Don’t color it in thickly on the first attempt or you’ll end up with clumpy lines. Instead, apply slowly using a cream-based liner with an eye liner brush. Add the lines in one after the other, going thicker and thicker and thicker as you go.
- As you reach the desired level of thickness, begin lining from the middle then flick the brush upward as you reach the outer comer of your eye. Only do this with the final lines, since this type of wing-tip liner doesn’t really begin at the actual outer eye corner, but slightly above it.
- Once you’re done, finish off with two layers of mascara to complete the look.
- Pair with dark lipstick to amp it up or opt for nude lipstick to tone it down.
