In honor of Lady Gaga’s new album, Chromatica, and her gorgeous looks for it, here’s a look back at some of her glammest makeup looks across the year.

Super Wings

In a recent interview with Glamour, Lady Gaga stated that makeup gives her “wings to fly.” This fierce winged look gives us a glimpse into why.

Striking Blue

This striking blue shadow is the perfect choice for Lady Gaga’s complexion and hair color. Paired with a glossy pink lip, this makeup look is 10/10 glam.

Fierce Metallics

For her Haus Laboratories campaign photo, Lady Gaga curated a look that is fierce and empowered. Nothing celebrates the power of makeup like statement metallic lids and a lip glossier than a shiny new copy of Vogue.

When I was young, I never felt beautiful. And as I struggled to find a sense of both inner and outer beauty, I discovered the power of makeup. I remember watching my mother put her makeup on every morning, basking in the glow of her power to put on her bravest face as the hard working woman she was. I then began to experiment with makeup as a way to make my dreams of being as strong as my mother become true. It was then that I invented Lady Gaga. I found the superhero within me by looking in the mirror and seeing who I wanted to be. Sometimes beauty doesn't come naturally from within. But I'm so grateful that makeup inspired a bravery in me I didn't know I had. I've come to accept that I discovered my beauty by having the ability to invent myself and transform. They said I was just weird, but really, I was just Born This Way. Love, Lady Gaga

Batty Lashes

Here’s another throwback to Lady Gaga’s fabulous Met Gala appearance. These lashes may not be practical but they are inspired.

😭 I couldn’t have said it better @brandonmaxwell I love you with all my heart and soul. Best friends forever ❤️ ——— @brandonmaxwell: I promise this will be my last #metgala post! But first, I wanted to take a minute to talk about friendship. 10 years ago on the night of the Met Gala I entered through a back door, bags in hand, and helped my friend @ladygaga change in to her performance outfit for her first Met Gala, where she would sing all her hits and dazzle the fashion crowd. 10 years later I walked in the front door hand in hand with her, having had the opportunity to design 4 outfits for her. In between these two nights, which were both momentous for me, a long and wondrous relationship has both sustained me and propelled me to believe I could walk through any door, so long as I did it with integrity and hard work. The world sees the moments on a carpet, tihe moments on stage, but I’ve been fortunate enough to see the moments behind the curtain that truly define what makes a star a star. There has never been a moment in our friendship where I did not feel that I was supported, that I did not feel that my best interests were put first, where I did not feel anything other than complete love and respect. She has pushed me to be better, to do better, and to achieve my dreams farther than I even could have imagined them to go. We were once two kids that had crazy dreams, a love for the performance and the show, a respect for the craft and those that came before, and now we are two adults who have held hands through many storms, and come out smiling on the other side. Friendship and loyalty are important, especially in our industries, and I’m so blessed to have been witness to the greatest example. Love your friends for who they are, and where they are, ride the ride together, be proud, because no success is worth it without the ones you love. Thank you all so much for your love and kindness this week, grateful would not be a strong enough word for how I truly feel. We had so much fun! ——— 📸 @johnshearer

Vampire Queen

At the SAGA Awards, Lady Gaga showcased a look reminiscent of her fabulous vampiress role in American Horror Story: Hotel. Nothing is more dangerously seductive than thick black lashes and lipstick that won’t quit.

Drag Queen

During her Las Vegas residency, Gaga rocked electric blue hair and dramatic makeup. Her bright red lip and accentuated wing liner appear to be influenced by drag culture and we love it.
