From flamboyant to elegant: Lady Gaga's makeup evolution

December 2, 2019 - 17:44 UTC By María Gabriela Cartaya

Fascinating. This is the perfect word to describe Lady Gaga’s transformation during the past decade. It’s not just evident in her clothing style but in her makeup too. Since the beginning of her career back in 2008 she has evolved from the most extreme makeup styles—very colorful and even including facial prosthetics—to natural selfies or lady-like looks in the most recent awards season.


Without holding back from striking trends or just accentuating her natural beauty, the artist is today an icon who continues to affirm her status with every new appearance or with the launch of her own line of cosmetics, appropriately named Haus Laboratories.

Poker Face

Just like in her song, Gaga began with an enigmatic series of makeups where she combined metallic shadows, layers, and more layers of mascara, and designs on her cheeks reminiscent of glam-rock. Impossible to forget.

Lady Gaga’s makeup always matches her music. In 2011, she experimented with color to the max and here's the proof. For the MTV Awards in Tokyo, she went for this look with marked eyebrows, triple eyeliner, and dramatic green hair color.

Classic and chic

In 2014, the award-winning artist made a full turn towards minimalism. She left contouring and smoky eyes behind in favor of glowing skin and natural makeup, complemented by a very Marilyn Monroe hairstyle.

Vibes from the 80s

A tribute to the past. The Born This Way singer made an impact with big curls, heavy makeup in golden tones and neon accents. A Madonna-inspired look that could easily fit in the glorious 80s.

Glamorous illusion

Nothing like bold red lipstick to glam-up, and also, to mark the midpoint in her evolution. Even though the singer and producer hides behind dark, cat-eye glasses, she still stands out with her crimson lips and glowing skin.

Makeup Free

Surprisingly, one of her most impressive is when she shows herself with no foundation, powders, or illuminators. Like in this beautiful makeup-free selfie. She didn’t just get millions of likes on social media, but also she sent a very powerful message about acceptance.

Gothic Queen

At the 2018 Grammys, Lady Gaga surprised her fans with yet another dramatic look. Intense color palettes, never-ending fake lashes and contrasting nude lip color. She was the Queen of Gothic for one night.

Hollywood girl

Lady Gaga was the true star in the A Star is Born red carpet at the 2018 Venice Film Festival. She looked simply brilliant in front of the flashes wearing flawless makeup with glowing notes and a light bronze effect.

Haus of Gaga

She´s a natural entertainer. And the theme for the 2019 Met Gala could not fit her better. For the Camp edition of the prestigious event, she wore not one but four outfits and of course, she needed a matching makeup. She combined the most incredible pink lipstick with extra-long golden eyelashes, glitter, and dark shadows.
