It sounds fake, even coming from Gaga.  Like, you want to sell makeup and have people conform to societal beauty standards, Karen. No need to put bows on it. But Gaga loves bows.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes literally been on about the exact opposite since day 1. Please make it make sense how this is encouraging conformity: "She's an intellectual, your honor" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga could just say "I'm Lady freaking Gaga and if I want to do makeup I will" and it'd be okay, but tying it to a self love and kindness thing sounds disingenuous at best. YOUR GOD IS NOT HERE MICHAEL NOR WILL HE EVER BE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Smith 10,026 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 @Pennywise It also depends on how you look at your makeup. Because for some it is a way to beautify and for others it is a way to express yourself and your feelings. I guess the point is to show that the latter. I also wear makeup in order not to look like the rest and that people looking at me would not say "wow he is beautiful" but "wow what a beautiful and unique makeup". It is just an example. Admittedly, in the haus labs campaign there are only attractive models who have certain proportions to specific make-up. But actually, saying that makeup is the way to love yourself is okay, but Haus Labs speaks a bit as if it was a necessity. I hope you understood me.

I understand what you mean, I wasn't, like, "coming for" Gaga anyway, since she has been the epitome of amazing and unique looks, and the campaign did show a lot of interesting looks too. I, personally, find "love yourself" as a way of selling anything disingenuous, however. YOUR GOD IS NOT HERE MICHAEL NOR WILL HE EVER BE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have I felt encouraged that I am a respected and valued consumer. As opposed to a forgotten demographic that just had to "figure it out" cuz certain shades and skin types apparently don't exist in that labels world. I've resented to idea of spending good money on people that don't care about me just to reminded I can't look like their pretty models. I see the commercials and the claims; and the off results and disappointment by my friends. I've followed HL too and watched all the reviews. I feel seen and respected by HL. It will be the first makeup I will ever purchase in my life. It will be the first time I will sit down and try to be kind to myself in that way. I've never experienced that and she's made me excited for it. So....her message is genuine to me. And to many others I believe. --- Have you seen this  "She's an intellectual, your honor" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, Gaga's insta is a bit messy and needs more effort. I remember when we had HAUS EDITORIALS and I was so excited cuz I thought we would get those regularly and her feed would look amazing. Personally I'm a sucker for aesthetically pleasing Instagram feeds or see effort on social image. Some say it's a shallow thing but I love it. Gaga's current Insta consists on too much selfies, some gorgeous, some others look like the camera was greasy and some very auntie-like posts. I'm sure Gaga doesn't care about that, cuz she has more to sell than just her image, but still, it'd be nice to see more effort put into her social media presence. see i thought the haus edits were cringey af Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
