The $272 Beauty Routine Lady Gaga Swears By

"Prepping the skin the right way is essential for your makeup to look its best," she told Today. Tanno uses the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum ($48), which is packed with vitamin C to brighten and hydrate.

Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre ($16) is a lightweight, paraben-free moisturizer that is "perfect for makeup prep and even works on the most sensitive skin," Tanno said.

Tanno applies Sisley Paris's Comfort Extreme Lip Balm ($74) on Gaga's lips just before slicking on lipstick.

You can also buy this Minted Rose Lip Balm ($7) at Sephora — though its price on Amazon is one you can't beat.

"This mascara does it all for me, and you can apply as many coats as you need for the desired look," Tanno said of Marc Jacobs Beauty's Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara ($26). Gaga apparently loves this mascara because of the drama it adds to her looks on top of its reliability.

Here's another one of the Born This Way singer's go-to lash products for maximum volume and length: L'Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara ($10).

Talika Eye Therapy Patches ($50) can be used to soothe the skin under the eyes from stress and puffiness.

The secret behind Gaga's glow: the Clé de Peau Beauté Intensive Brightening Mask ($30).

Tanno also swears by Talika's Bio Enzymes Purifying Mask ($12) for keeping the actress's skin hydrated after wearing lots of makeup during press tours.
