Lady GaGa for M.A.C – get the look

“The celestial chameleon: one of the many guises that epitomize Lady Gaga.” - Val Garland
This image from an advertisement for M.A.C’s Viva Glam Gaga 2 campaign is definitely one of my favourite shots of the singer, and the makeup is to die for. The look was created by the legendary Val Garland, and I recently saw a rundown of the products she used which I thought I’d share. In my opinion it’s the perfect ultra glam interpretation of the nude trend, and one I’d definitely try myself. So, the official low down on what Val used is:
