I’m Jessica, Reviewed’s lifestyle writer. My co-testers include Naidin Concul-Ticas, Reviewed’s editorial graphic designer, and Valerie Li, the kitchen and cooking staff writer. We all consider ourselves makeup enthusiasts who are comfortable applying and wearing all sorts of products. We have different skin tones, makeup preferences, and areas of expertise. For example, I’d say the thing I’m best at when it comes to makeup is evening my complexion, as I got used to covering up acne scarring. Naidin says she’s great at drawing winged eyeliner, ever since she learned at age 11. Valerie agrees that she can apply eyeliner any time, any place (even on the moving subway), but she also feels that contouring is one of her better skills.

I’m a little monster—at least in the context of how Lady Gaga refers to her fanbase. I’ve listened to all of her albums, sat mesmerized by her Netflix documentary, “Gaga: Five Foot Two,” and took a trip to the movie theater to see “A Star Is Born.” For Gaga, I’m off the deep end. 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].” 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.” 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).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. 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?

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 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.” About the brand: Founded by Lady Gaga, Haus Labs creates supercharged clean artistry makeup powered by innovation.
