Lady Gaga subliminally sets our makeup and fashion trends


Lady Gaga is a trendsetter. 'No she's not! She's too outrageous!'.
Well, have you had the desire to dye your hair a pastel colour, specifically mint green? Or have you bought a pastel coloured sweater, shirt or jeans? In her video 
Marry The Night: The Prelude Pathétique, she predicted that mint was going to be the colour of Spring 2012 "and I also believe that mint will be very big in fashion next Spring." And wow, we went on a mint crazy in 2012, but did we attribute it to Lady Gaga? 







In saying that, let's see what Lady Gaga trend will continue onto 2013? 
I believe it will be brown lipstick, brown or natural eyeshadows with strong brows. Did you follow Lady Gaga's twitter photos in 2012? Or analyse her makeup at events? 










They all had a muted red or brown lip, overdrawn. 

Strong liquid eyeliner, above the eye only. 

Filled in brows and slightly exaggerated. 

That's it, I think that's the biggest 2013 trend. I'm already noticing YouTube makeup gurus doing tutorials on brown eye looks and 'natural' looks with a mix of shimmer and matte brown shadows. I've already moved my pink lipsticks aside and dusting off my brown lipliners and bought a brown NYX lipstick on my trip to Jakarta. 

And yes, I'm a HUGE Lady Gaga fan.
