Lady Gaga’s Makeup Tutorial

Lady Gaga teamed up with her makeup artist Sarah Tanno and Allure to give a superfan a personal makeup tutorial.

The fan, Brandon Galaz, a cosmetology student, thought he was just meeting with Sarah to test out Gaga’s new beauty brand Haus Laboratories, unaware that Gaga was going to be there too. Not only did he get some makeup tips from the duo, but he also got to read a personal letter he wrote to Gaga.

The letter details how Gaga’s song “Born This Way” inspired him to come out to his family. While he was reading, Gaga came up behind him, giving Brandon the surprise of his life. The two shared a hug and he finished reading his message, which brings Gaga to tears.

“This is why I do what I do. Thank you for sharing that. That’s so vulnerable. It’s so honest, it’s so real. Thank you,” Gaga said.

The two chatted about what makeup means to them and Gaga imparted some encouraging words. “It’s not how we look that makes us beautiful, right?” she tells Brandon. “It’s what we’ve been through and how we survive.”
