Toddammit! Who does Lady Gaga think she is?
A fairy or something, like Tinkerbell? Is that why she's begging for our applause?
Last week Lady Gaga released
her new single, 'Applause' and was promoting it all over WeHo
out at the bars she even made a lyric video and then this week she released
her full music video
and it got me so inspired that I just felt like I needed to make my own
tutorial for y'all the first thing you're gonna need is
some sort of like smock or black like stocking to put over your hair so it'll
pull everything out of the way so you can, you know do your face. I don't have whatever
Gaga had but I do have this beanie. So I'm just gonna go ahead
and put a beanie on. Now I look thug but you know... If you're a guy like me
you've gotta go ahead and shave. Like scruff won't work so well with makeup
although if you want to, you could keep it for a little extra texture
I'm gonna go ahead and shave it. We'll be right back.
done
Initially I wanted to go for the look that she has on her album cover
but then I realized that was probably being a little overzealous
and I should go for something more like her subtle 'day look'.
so now that my face is taken care of and it's ready to go
I gotta get it prepped for makeup. My skin is really
oily kinda like the 'Gulf Oil Spill' from a few years back
so I'm gonna go ahead and use baby powder to set
my face
okay so go ahead
smear that around, getting that base.
I don't know where she came up with the idea for this. I don't know,
maybe it was in the Sherman Williams store...
maybe she like tripped and face planted while she was in a Lowes...
I'm not sure. But for the sake of pop I'm willing to do this for you guys.
A little more...
Man I got that ALL over. (***, ***)
Now that your face is set, it's time for makeup
I just got this really basic kit because it's got white
and then it's got all the colors, the primary colors she that uses.
So here it goes. I hope this is enough we'll see..
it's really hard
doing this into a webcam where it's not an actual mirror
I don't know how those Queens have time
to do this every night when they perform. You wanna give yourself the bone structure that
you weren't born with. You might be born this way, but you weren't
born with like that nose or the jawline you wanted
give it to yourself with makeup. Make sure to contour.
Yeah fingers work a lot better than that *** little sponge.
So I heard Lady Gaga was gonna be collaborating with a bunch of people
on this album and now that I've seen this makeup and stuff
I'm pretty sure one of them is gonna be the members of ICP
Violent J and 2 Dope. Because
like when you do paint like this your goal has to be
to be reaching out to like the 'Juggalo Youth'. What dedication she must have to do this
everyday that she's been going out. So the first step is to look like a mime.
Hmmm not clogging the pores at all!
So now that your face is completely ghost white,
and you look dead, which is the whole thing with 'Applause'
I'm dead, I need you to clap so that I can come back to life.
Because I'm a fairy, like Tinkerbell. And there!
Total white face. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. So naturally,
you'd probably want to start with like your brow bone and bring
the Blues down
but I don't have a soul. But I am mouthy,
so I'm gonna go ahead and start with the lips. Pick out the little brush
sponge blotter thing, just like dot some red around...
doesn't matter, it can be happenstance I don't know where she's going with this whole
look
it could be a mixture of like the old school Jack Nicholson Joker meets
the modern day Heath Ledger "Are You Serious"
Joker face. Who knows? It doesn't really matter
This makeup is really thick and taking
way too long to really get the look.
Lady Gaga has at her disposal, the world's best
makeup artists as well as like high and drag queen level makeup
wheras I've got this 99 Cent Store Halloween
kit. I'm getting impatient at this point. But I have this quick fix
here which is sherbert and
cotton candy ice cream. So with these two flavors
you can probably accomplish the exact same thing with half the amount of time. I'm gonna go
ahead and use
the sherbert and I'm gonna start with the eyes.
Oh my god it's so cold it's like being
born-again leaving the womb. It's like born this way!
Uhh, my little monsters. Now it's just time to
like to get really crazy and swirl all the rest of that
awesome makeup. This isn't working out as well as I thought.
Art Pop it's freezing and melty.
So now it's time for your photo shoot little monsters
you got this far...
I look like Rainbow Brite sat on my face. Well
that's it! Keep creating!
So someone should totally invest in edible makeup. There's gotta be a market for that.
It's delicious.
I live for the applause, applause, applause...
