Lady Gaga Should Drop Her Beauty Brand Before It's Too Late

[derpmonster 22,412]

Literally stop. No one hates it as much as you do. What would be "too late" exactly? All I've seen from the GP is appreciation.

The world doesn't revolve around you. If you don't like what she's doing, don't buy it. Leave her alone and let her do what she wants. It hasn't even started shipping and you're here being a hater.

It doesn't mean she does want it for the money, but the general consumer that isn't on GGD will look at it that way. 

It's the GGD users, not the GP hating on it so far.

No wonder Gaga doesn’t interact with fans anymore

No one is hating on Gaga. I didn't even hate on the product. It's the release format, the packaging, and the immediate negative response that has been questionable. 

[The13thNote 1,390]

If anything it is a compliment becauae I feel Gaga can do much better than this.

Why do Gaga fans want their faves new product they’ve worked on to fail so badly idgi

Please hear me out as I'm sure I am going to come under fire for this opinion. Before I say this, I do not think Haus Laboratories should end. It's this specific beauty launch that I think could severely damage not just itself but the image Gaga has worked so hard to rebuild for the past 6 years. 

 

Here's why: 

1. The brand is boring and forgettable.

Nothing about this beauty brand screams new or innovative. When HL released Fame (the fragrance) and it was launched, it was unique because it was the first black eau de parfume to exist and had a stunning look and an incredible rollout. 

This beauty brand's most innovative concept is the fact that it has a liquid makeup that turns to powder. That's not really something that makes it exactly ahead of the game. No one cares. The colors are also kind of something you would already expect and you could get anywhere else. This is Lady Gaga. People had high expectations for something new to match her personality. It doesn't really stir the soul. 

2. The packaging looks cheap and basic.

When Fame debuted it felt high quality. I don't know what HL thought when choosing this packaging, but the bag looks like something you could get at Walmart. The font is basic. And the casing for the actual makeup has already been compared to other makeup lines that already exist. Again, forgettable. 

 

3. We are not living for an Amazonian Queen. 

Not only are there policy problems already. But Amazon treats their employees like ****. Not very Gaga of Gaga. 

There is also the fact many countries just don't get Amazon. So they literally can't buy the product. I saw several people already mad they can't go to Vegas. Now they can't buy her products? She is beginning to alienate herself with this corporate fluff. 

And let's not forget how this kind of makes it look less like a "start-up" as Gaga wants us to believe, and more like a planned cash grab. This is another thing that many are already saying lowers the brands quality and image. 

 

4. The beauty community is already eye-rolling her eye-liner. 

Many of the videos I watched are actually not hating on Gaga. It is actually the opposite. Most people are saying they aren't dissapointed in the product so much as the fact that it is what Lady Gaga is offering. Again, the expectation is there for Gaga to deliver if she is going to deliver. 

 

5. The applause just isn't there. 

When Rihanna and Kylie and others announced beauty projects it became viral events. The video for HL has been up for several days now and still hasn't broke 1 million views. In terms of hype, it just seems like people don't care. 

 

Lastly, it's not that this product won't be great quality. If it isn't...this will be buried with ARTPOP Act 2 and the Telephone sequel. But even if it is, I feel like this product already has a really bland mixed reaction and the timing feels incredibly off. 

The only hope is that the quality happens to be amazing and youtubers see that and start taking back what they said come September. If that doesn't happen, I think Gaga should let her lip liner not be the only thing she names "RIP". 

 

Your thoughts below. 

I’m about to be looking fierce

Isn't hating the packaging the same as hating the product, and adding more negative responses kind of adds more fuel to the fire?

That's your opinion, no shade, but I don't think it's fully fair to judge based on images and commercials without seeing the products themselves. Sure the launch was weird but the brand is just starting out and if it makes her happy, so be it. At least she's passionate about something. 

I'd be mad if the products aren't up to par though. But I will wait for that once I get the products in my hands.

And it's not a "money grabbing" thing, it's the case of if you're famous and you have the opportunity to start a line in whatever and release your creations into the world, why the hell not?

Girl it's a cash grab... But I love her so let her grab all the cash she can get. This preorder is pretty ridiculous too.

So many business experts here ...too bad Gaga didn’t consult all of you before doing this . Why would she know what’s best for her?

Ikr. Especially when her promo has been handled so well in the past.

[FATCAT 60,848]

People said Shallow would flop because even fans didn't want to her that "LQ crowd screams".

It was her latest #1.

[RAMROD 115,769]

What's with all of these counter productive threads?

That's not how business work. Nothing guaranteed, if you fail then you should try again. And if you succeed then keep it going. You don't just give up with the premature negative feedback

This is too much.  You really thought about this. You want angry revolution gaga? I do too. She wears green day t shirts and i would love her to do something like basketcase. But relax a bit.  Breathe a bit. All will be fine. Xo
