Frederic Aspiras for Pai-Shau created Lady Gaga's voluminous waves by prepping her hair with Pai-Shau Design Ritual Royal Abundance Mousse from the roots to the ends. He then blew it out with a round brush, and after curling the hair using GHD Curve Soft Curl Iron ($199), pinned up each ringlet to set them. When he took the curls down, he brushed them out for fluffiness.

Sarah Tanno is the Sisley makeup artist making you envious of Lady Gaga's stunning peach eye makeup. She explains her inspiration: "After I saw the iconic white Brandon Maxwell creation, I got inspired by photographers like Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin. No specific photo, just the all-over vibe. I wanted everything to be monochromatic, bold, and new, but something that would still feel timeless 10 years from now. I love warm colors with all-white; it really makes the face stand out in a striking way. I personally love a monochromatic look. This is the perfect balance of sexy, rock-n-roll, and elegance."

Learn to DIY to re-create Lady Gaga's eye makeup straight from the woman who created it. “For the beautiful monochromatic blended eye, I started by tracing the lid with Phyto-Eye Twist in Topaz and blended to the crease and under the eye," said Tanno. "On the lid, I used Phyto-Ombre Eclat in Mango, Phyto-Ombre Eclat eye shadow in Toffee and Burgundy blended in the crease softly all the way to the brow. Phyto-Ombre Glow in Pearl was also blended on the lid and under brow, and Silver just in the tear duct to open the eye and brighten. I also used Phyto 4 Ombres Dream, [specifically] the satin copper and velvet brown colors, to add depth to the crease of the eyes, Phyto-Khol Star in Smoked Topaz to add definition at the lash line. Finished with my favorite mascara, So Intense in black. It has a tiny comb which makes it easy to separate and lengthen the lashes. I used this on the lower lashes as well."
