Look: Lady Gaga Bad Romance Makeup Inspiration

Date: November 12, 2009 - Posted in: Black, Looks, Red, Smokey

I was watching Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance Music Video yesterday, and I felt a little inspired by the bold makeup she’s wearing around the four minute mark. At first, I thought she was wearing this look while dancing a bit, but I think the looks are different–the one she wears while dancing (also around the four minute mark) seems cleaner, not quite as dark, though the lips seem really similar.

Anyway, this is inspired by and not so much as an exact replica. If you wanted to be more on target, I’d say to go for a slightly messier smoky eye, add a little bit of gloss to make it look wet and have a sheen, and then go for a very dramatic cheek contour. The shape of the black portion on the eye also goes up quite close to the inner brow bone and then comes down.  The lashes should also be bigger and flair out more on the outer lash line.

Also, this look is actually REALLY easy. No, seriously! It’s pretty much any cream black base all over the lid. I used the same technique I did back in 2007 to create this black smoky eye tutorial. The lashes took me infinitely longer and still didn’t adhere correctly–but it was good enough to fake it in photos (and my eyes were burning from upper lash line irritation, so it was a hurry-up-and-finish situation).

You will need the following…

  • Eyes: Blacktrack fluidline (black), Carbon eyeshadow (matte black), Vex eyeshadow (duochrome white-purple), Bisque eyeshadow (matte highlighter), Feline kohl power (black), false eyelashes (anything big and dramatic), Zoom Fast Black Mascara (black)
  • Cheeks: Sculpt sculpting powder (dark shadow), Dior Amber Diamond Skin Shimmer (bronzy highlighter)
  • Face: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (#140)
  • Lips: Red No. 5 lipstick (deep red), Violetta lipstick (bright purple), Vino lip pencil (dark red)
  • Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 214 (smudge brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
  • Substitutes: Red No. 5 = New York Apple

Directions: Apply Blacktrack fluidline all over the lid as the base with the 249. With the 239, pack Carbon eyeshadow on all over the lid. Using the 226 brush, lightly blend the crease with Vex eyeshadow. Sweep Bisque eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Feline Kohl Power on lower lash line, and apply false lashes to upper lash line, then lightly apply Zoom Fast Black mascara on lashes. Sweep hollows of cheeks with Sculpt sculpting powder using the 168, then highlight with Dior Amber Diamond Skin Shimmer with the 165. Apply Red No. 5 lipstick to lips, and then top with Violetta for color and shine.

    • Christine

      Thanks, Hinahon! I hope you do!

        I liked your idea of putting Violetta on top of something, so I tried another mix.
        I put Violetta on top of London Life.

        I find the result cute, i’ll send you a pic to show you :)

        • Christine

          Saturday, November 14, 2009

          Ohh, nice! Definitely show me when you can :)

          • Hinahon

            Saturday, November 14, 2009

            You can still see the “shimmers” of London life and Violetta gives it a nice pinkish look. :)

              Pretty! I love how the shimmers come through!

              • Hinahon

                Saturday, November 14, 2009

                Me too ! I was actually surprised, i didn’t think it would come through
                I think Violetta is a really fun colour to have. Even if alone it can be crazy, I think we could find cool shades pairing it with other lipsticks

                • Christine

                  Saturday, November 14, 2009

                  I loveee layering it. I don’t think I’d ever wear it alone, personally, but I like it with other shades for sure :)

  4. LaDonna

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    I love it!! I love the shimmer of purple in the crease and how it looks a little grayed out in the outside corner

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Glad you liked Vex in it! Thanks, LaDonna!

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    OMG.. you look absolutely hot! This inspired look is fantastic!

    I know a lot of people are against a strong eye and lip, but wow.. this is great. :] You pull it off so easily.

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks so much! :) Ah, every rule is made to be broken at some point. It’s a good general rule of thumb, and surely I wouldn’t rock this on the daily, LOL!

  13. Lyndsay

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    oh wow! I REALLY like this look… its a very sexy, sultry look! Nicely executed! I think it looks great on you because you have darker coloring anyhow. If I tried this I’d look crazy! lol

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      I’m so happy you like it! Thank you!

      Lady Gaga looked STUNNING with the super dramatic look and I loved the contrast her pale skin gave it overall! So, if she can rock it, and you think I can rock it… I think YOU can rock it :D

  14. Vivi

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    this is gorgeous! what’s your lighting like when you photograph your eye makeup? do you use a flash, or just off-camera lighting? your pictures are always gorgeous and seem really true to the colors. Just wondering what techniques you use to get them so amazing-looking!

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks, Casey! It’s really nothing special, actually. I take them at random spots, sometimes with the recessed lighting turned on… sometimes not. No method to the madness really :( I give all kudos to my camera ’cause my photography skills are minimal!

    Uuuuh
    pretty pretty pretty
    This is my kind of eye make up: dark and dramatic.
    Good twist for my favorite tutorial
    I’ve never dared to wear it with intense lips… now after I’ve seen that it does look nice I may try.

    Thanks Christine!!

    • Christine

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    I looove this look!
    I’d love to see the makeup eyes with a neutral gloss or something like that

    you’re amazing!

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Hey Adriana,

      When I first did the black smoky eye (back in 2007), I did: http://www.temptalia.com/tutorial-black-smokey-eye

      • Adriana

        Thursday, November 12, 2009

        that smokey eyes in 2007 are amazing
        I wanna try the look! maybe tomorrow! Ha!

        Nice day
        You rock!

        pd. i’d love if you write about mineral foundations (you know: the body shop, maybelline, clinique, etc)

        Thankyou!

        • Christine

          Thursday, November 12, 2009

          Give it a shot ;)

          Thanks, Adriana!

          I did a bunch of mineral makeup reviews way back in either late 2007 or early 2008… and I just don’t dig it. I never like it more than liquid (and even with traditional pressed powders, I don’t love those either). If I ever come across one that I don’t like, you can be sure I’ll review it — otherwise I don’t, because I know I’m biased which means I can’t give you a very good perspective on it.

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    This is seriously HOT!!!

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    Very, VERY cool. I love it when you do adventurous stuff like this (I love the bold lip with the intense smoky eyes). Heck, I love all your looks, but the variety is what is so exciting about them! Even in variety most of your stuff fits the “colorful but wearable” category, and then you do something totally different like this. It’s really awesome :D

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks a lot, Daphne! I’m really happy that you liked this look!

      Aww, thanks so much, Sarah!

  29. Tavia

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    Hi Christine! I love this look on you, especially because I love dark eyeshadows and I used to do this look too a few years ago. I can’t say that I like the lip color, I would have choose something more neutral and more natural for the lips.

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      I’ve done this with nude/natural lips before, but the idea was to model it after Lady Gaga’s look, which was all about bold eyes and lips :)

  30. Glosslizard

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    Wow, the purple iridescence where Vex is over Carbon is awesome! I need to get my paws on Vex stat! :)

    That look is gorgeous on you, BTW!

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Oh yeah, one of my favorite ways to use Vex!!

      Thank you!

  31. Cindy

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    Wow, you look great !!!!

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks, Cindy!

  32. Roxanne

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    You’re spoiling us with all those looks, Christine LOL! Not that I complain :)
    It’s truly gorgeous. I hope your eyes are feeling better by now – I hate it when my eyes get irritated. Do you think it was the lash glue? Your falshe lashes look as if they’re glued on too close to your inner tear duct. Maybe some of it got into your eye?

    Anyway, I really want to try this! What other color could you use instead of Vex? Any light shimmery color?

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      LOL! My eyes are swollen today, so I think the buck stops here! It’s probably a mix of messing around with the fluidline on/near my upper lash line along with getting the lashes to fix (I don’t think it’s the glue really).

      You could probably use Beautiful Iris or Vellum!

  33. Christy

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    Fabulous! :) Love the look.

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks, Christy!

  34. Sarah

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    So pretty! I watched Bad Romance and I’ve been in awe ever since, Gaga is excellent in artsy videos.

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thank you, Sarah! :) Lots of great makeup in it!

  35. Anja Nicole

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    I am going out today to by vex t copy this look for Saturday. I probably will use a different highlighter though. I dont think bisque will go with my NW 45 -50 complexion.

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Vex is one of my favorite ways to add a little oomph to a smoky eye :) Any neutral highlighter will do.

  36. Mona

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    great look for the cooler season

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    Ouuu I am loving this hot vamp look. I will definitely be trying this once I get my Feline for Christmas! I might have to make some adjustments, though, because I’m dreadfully fair and would probably look a little scary.

    Your skin is just way too perfect, Christine! I’m so jealous!

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks so much, K! I hope you love Feline ;)

      Hey, Lady Gaga is fair, and she rocked it!

    super… In my opinion, one the top 10 looks that you created this year. It’s holiday, it’s modern, I love the contrast between matte and shimmer.

    Wow girl!! This is pretty!! How long did it take you to do?

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      The eyes? Like five minutes. So easy, ridiculously so! The lashes, forget about it, LOL. Probably 45 minutes in sum.

      • Mary007

        Thursday, November 12, 2009

        LOL! It would probably take me about 30-45 min to do my eyes and about 45-60 min to put the eyelashes. All worth it, though!

        • Christine

          Thursday, November 12, 2009

          Oh, man, the lashes were so shoddily applied, too. I was like, “Whatever, good enough for photos. Nobody has to know!”

  47. Ashley K

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    I love this look. I love how well done dark eye makeup can make someone look sortof mysterious, y’know? Lol. Blacks are really hard for me to work with, makes a mess!

    hottttttttt! can you recommend any dupes for Vex & Bisque? (and I do smokey eyes – not THAT dark though – and dark-ish lips all the time so I really love this.)

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks, Viv! To be honest… there is no dupe for Vex! Bisque – any matte neutral, fleshy tone would work.

      • viv

        Friday, November 13, 2009

        haha okay, looks like I’ll have to add Vex to the list. :)

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    You are GORGEOUS like that! It makes your eye color litterally pop up. I also love your hair color. Natural black is a blessing I wish I could have. Anyway, that make up looks like the one I have today (and most of days). Except that I don’t have false eyelashes, I’m fair skinned, I’m wearing light stuff on lips (today it’s “Hue” and “Dame” as a blush. Well done make up you did here! ;)

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks so much :) I’m glad you like the hair color, too. Sometimes I want to highlight/lowlight, but I always chicken out.

    Hi, great post! Came across your blog whilst I was googling for Chanel’s noir obscur last week, thanks to your review, bought it and it was great!

    BTW, is there any other lipstick you could recommend to achieve the above result?

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks, Estelle!

      Really, any deep red will do the trick – you may want to shade the edges a bit so it’s a little darker around the edges, but otherwise a deep dark red will do ya.

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    I really like the way you used Vex eyeshadow in this look! I have that shadow and despite finding it intriguing I never quite know how to use it. I’ll use it this way the next time I want to do a smoky eye.

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks, Miranda! I always love Vex with this kind of look :)

    Christine, this looks really suits, I would even dare to say this is your best look ever, it´s a proof that a nice eyehadow look does not need 10 different colors and 30 minutes of work! You look great!

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Wow! That’s high praise! Thank you so much, Emma!

    This is a gorgeous look on you. I love the colors you chose. I’d have not thought to use Vex the way you did. I need to try it that way! The lips look great, too. I love dark eyes!

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks so much! I love Vex with this kind of look – it always turns out really well :)

  76. hi

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    Those lips are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! Paired with Melon pigment, Ricepaper shadow and a smokey, super-warm matte dark brown liner, IT. WOULD. BE. STUNNING! Try it?

    • Christine

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      Thanks so much! I’m sure it would, red lips tend to suit neutral eyes quite well!

  77. Brittany

    Wow, I never knew Vex could be so pretty! I’m definitely checking it out next time at the MAC counter. I think this is a great look, Christine! Plus, I’ve been playing “Bad Romance” on repeat for most of the day today. ;)

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    This is fabulous… My fav looks of yours is usually the tropical green/blue ones.. but this one has not topped my list… jaw dropping gorgeous!!.. I have trouble with falsies as well.. If I had two makeup related wishes they would be – eyeliner that stays on my waterline and falsies that didn’t itch! :)

    • Kimberly

      Thursday, November 12, 2009

      haha.. I meant this would be at the top :)

    • Christine

      Friday, November 13, 2009

      Thank you so much, Kimberly! :) So glad you liked this!

      Haha, yeah, I could go for some false lashes that didn’t itch and were a dream to apply… but I think the latter is lack of skill, LOL.

  92. Tami

    Thursday, November 12, 2009

    Wow I will have to try this look out! Since I don’t own Vex (yet) I will probably try it with Vellum and see how it works;-)

    • Christine

      Friday, November 13, 2009

      Vellum should work in a pinch – slightly different texture, but similar :)

      Thanks!
