Women fashion, ladies fashion: November 2011

Lady Gaga makeup has taken the world by storm because of her unique and extremely different ways of styling herself. It goes without saying that this is a fashion trend that will not be dying out any time soon and will be favored by people for a long time to come whether it is for a party or Halloween. She has absolutely fascinating makeup ideas in many of her videos which for some are bordering on weird but are nevertheless a rage everywhere you go. You can choose to do some of her more spectacular eye-makeup ideas if that is what you like to go for.

Step 1

For this look, we recommend using Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Black Magic because it contains both a matte white cream eye shadow and a shimmering black cream eye shadow.

Step 2

Use your finger to apply the matte, white cream eye shadow in uneven amounts around the entire eye. Apply more in some areas, very little in others, and carelessly blend. Make sure that you have full coverage when working towards the lash line and the bottom rim of your eye. If necessary, go over this area with a white pencil eyeliner.

Step 3

With a lip brush, add a black cream eye shadow beneath the lash line of your bottom lid (leave your lower rim and the top of your lower lash line white). Add the black cream eye shadow to the upper lid, bringing it from the inner corner of the eye up to the crease, then swoop it down and out toward the outer corner of the eye to create a cat eye shape.

Step 4

Using your finger or a clean brush, blend the outer edge of the black eye shadow with the white layer beneath it, sweeping back and forth gently so that it lightens the intensity of the black color.

Step 5

For an intense, long-lasting black color, set the cream shadow by patting a black eye shadow powder (try M.A.C. Shadow Pigment in Dark Soul) on top of it. This should follow the same shape that you made with black cream shadow in step #2, but it should be about 1/4 of an inch smaller, leaving the blended black-white portions un-touched.

Step 6

Use a Q-tip to swipe a wedge-shape out of the outer corner of the eye shadow you have applied. You can leave this wedge skin-tone or fill it in with more of the white eye shadow, depending on how much white you have in the surrounding area.

Finish by sprinkling a little bit of loose glitter over closed eyes. It doesn't matter if you have fallout on the face or body since you will be adding more glitter to these areas later.

People have always been fascinated by celebrity makeup and lady Gaga makeup is no different in this matter. You can find a lot of inspiration from her looks if you want to try something avant garde. Especially when it is a fashion show or a themed party, this look is one that will definitely win you points over everyone else if you get it right. You can choose coral orange or ultra pink hues in the lip color if you want to mimic her looks and it is not something that is exclusively for the runways but also great for a party!
