I Put Lady Gaga's Liquid Eyeliner to the Test, and Its Smudge-Proof Formula Must Be Magic

Jul 1 2020 - 4:15pm

I totally freaked when I discovered that Haus Laboratories [1], Lady Gaga [2]'s beauty brand [3], offers a liquid eyeliner pen. Gaga is known for her killer graphic liner looks, so I know she takes liner as seriously as I do. Obviously I had to see if it stands up to my favorite formulas.

I ordered Haus Laboratories by Lady Gaga Liquid Eye-Lie-Ner [4] ($20) in Matte Black off of Amazon, and it arrived in a sleek silver and black box. So what's the verdict? This is my new favorite liquid eyeliner pen. I am so impressed by this formula, and I have tried at least 50 different brands. For more photos of my application and of the pen itself, keep reading. Then, get yourself this pen before I take all the stock for myself.


A Close-Up Look

I was able to create a fine point with my cat eye, but the pen could easily allow me to go thicker or thinner if I wish. It dries pretty quickly so you don't have to worry about making a mess.

Felt-Tip Pen Applicator

Here's a better look at the felt tip. The pen itself is very lightweight, so it's easy to maneuver.

The Smudge Test: Before and After

As previously mentioned, I applied a line, then rubbed it (pretty hard!) for a few seconds. Do you even see a difference? I don't. It remained perfect in color and sharpness.

Sleek and Modern Packaging

The pen comes in both matte and demi-matte finishes.
