Lady Gaga was inspired by a young boyโs โbeautifulโ makeup journey on TikTok.
The 37-year-old star โ whose Haus Labs makeup line will be available via Sephora in the UK from June 6 โ revealed how she was influenced by the way he wanted to โexpress who he truly isโ.
She told Glamour magazine: โThere was this one young boy I watched on TikTok who wears beautiful makeup, and he was sharing his story about how his friends would ask him not to wear so much makeup when he went out to dinners or parties with them.
โHe talked about how that made him feel and how he was just going to continue to make the best possible look he could to really express who he truly is. I thought that was so inspiring.
โOf course Iโve seen other tips and tricks of how to chisel your jawline and such, but I think the real magic is when people share their hearts with you and the way that makeup transforms your life in a way that extends beyond the physical.โ
The โPoker Faceโ hitmaker admitted while โnot everyone is kindโ, there is a lot of joy to be had from the way โa lotโ of people interact and โshare their knowledgeโ.
She said: โI think the thing that Iโve loved the most is just seeing the beauty community on TikTok.
โObviously not everyone is kind, but there are a lot of really kind, lovely people on TikTok that just want to share their knowledge of makeup, their knowledge of beauty, their experiments, and not only their looks, but their techniques and their hearts.โ
In particular, she also enjoys the idea of applying makeup as a time for โreflectionโ.
She added: โI love watching people tell stories about their lives while they do their makeup to get to know them better.
โBut also, it adds a sense of emotion and warmth to the experience, which is how I feel a lot of us feel when weโre doing our makeup. Thereโs a lot of reflection that takes place.โ
