If there’s an uneven surface caused by pressing your lips together before the product sets, simply apply another thin layer on top and wait at least 30 seconds to allow both layers to fully set. The consistency of the shadow is unexpected and takes some getting used to; it’s creamy but not runny and spreads out into a thin layer, drying in seconds to a powdery finish. It blended very easily, with mine creating a sheer-looking wash of glittery mauve all over my lid. To pump the color up a notch, I went in with it a second time, concentrating only on my lid. You could definitely see the color and glitter on my lid, but I was expecting even more of a bang in terms of color payoff, especially since Gaga is known for dramatic makeup looks. Naidin loved her lip pencil: “I’m very comfortable with lip liners, so this was easy to put on. I applied it all over my lips and I actually really liked the terracotta color, as is [without the gloss on top].”

Le Riot Lip Gloss: The gloss doesn’t make any bold claims, with the description stating, “Le Riot Lip Gloss offers a spectrum of finishes including shine, shimmer, pearl, and pure pigment so you can design a look that’s all your own.” It comes in six colors: Entrance (sheer with light pink pearl), Scream (burgundy wine), Corset (neutral peach), Attitude (terracotta with golden pearl), Venus (peachy pink), and Blaze (rose). How did we test Haus Labs makeup?How the kits we bought look on our testers' different skin tones, in groups of three from left to right: Haus of Dynasty, Haus of Chained Ballerina, and Haus of Rose B*tch. Valerie, who wore her kit for 11 hours, says her shadow wore off a noticeable amount, but what was left was also easy to remove: “I used eye makeup remover and cotton pads, then makeup remover wipes. I was so worried that I would get glitter all over me. It wasn’t bad, though.” Naidin doesn’t love lip gloss to begin with but thought her terracotta-colored one was fine for what it is: “It had a nice color to it and I liked how it felt on my lips. The applicator is a weird shape—at first, I didn’t know which side was the right side to put it on. I liked this to try, but it’s not something I would wear, but that’s because I’m not a gloss type of girl.” RIP Lip Liner: In my experience, pencil lip liners are not as creamy as crayon-like retractable ones, so I wasn’t surprised that I found Haus Labs’ version drying rather than moisturizing on my lips. It clung to dry patches—not cute. Despite the claims, I found that the pencil tugged at my lips rather than glided smoothly as I drew it on. Nevertheless, I put the plum liner all over my lips, instead of just outlining them, for more color impact, because my gloss is a sheer pink that the lip liner would show through.

About the brand: Founded by Lady Gaga, Haus Labs creates supercharged clean artistry makeup powered by innovation. About My Lips: On the dry sideMake sure you completely remove any lip conditioner or prepping products prior to application to remove any oil residue that may affect product performance. Naidin, who wore a second eyeshadow from her own collection to see how it blended with Gaga's, felt similarly to me: “It was fine to apply, just a little weird texture to get used to. To my surprise, It blended pretty well for a liquid eyeshadow. I wouldn’t wear this emerald green color every day but definitely nice for special occasions.” RIP Lip Liner: Aside from being a “lip liner to die for,” the pencils claim to be long-wearing, waterproof, weightless, smudge-proof, and flake-proof. The pencil also “will not tug on the lips” and won’t feather, or bleed onto skin around the edges. This product comes in six shades: En Pointe (peach neutral), Ride (mid-tone rose), Drag (mid-tone plum), Rule (spiced terracotta), Myth (mid-tone neutral mauve), and Slayer (deep burgundy wine).
