Lady Gaga discusses the transformative power of makeup and holistic wellness as she praises ‘self care’

Lady Gaga uses makeup and perfume to “transform” how she feels both on and off the stage. 

The 34-year-old superstar – who has her own makeup brand, Haus Laboratories, says self-care comes in many different ways and she approaches her beauty routine ‘holistically’.  

Speaking to the Sunday Independent’s Life Magazine, Gaga shared, ‘I believe self-care routines, in and of themselves, are the best beauty tip of all.’

Holistic beauty: Lady Gaga, 34, talks the power of self-care and holistic beauty with the Independent’s Life Magazine. The superstar talked about using makeup to transform oneself, in addition to the connection between mind, body and soul 

She continued, explaining holistic beauty as she said, ‘If you care for your mind, body, skin, heart, and healing, you approach beauty holistically.’

Elaborating on the transformative power of makeup, she said: 

‘For me, using makeup as well as perfume to transform how I feel at any moment is valuable as well. Even though working on ourselves from the inside is the most crucial, I also cherish the power of visual transformation to affect how we feel inside.’

Recently, she was named the face of Valentino’s new fragrance Voce Viva as she stunned in a series of snaps from the campaign.

 This philosophy remains evident as she is known for having some of the most elaborate costumes and makeup in the world.

When it comes to maintaining her body and face, Gaga is not afraid to try it all – posting photos of herself in ice baths and even indulging in some hilarious beauty hacks.

Though she harps on the importance of feeling good physically, she continued to talk about being a good person and starting to heal from within, as she believes kindness can heal the ‘mind, body and soul’.

She shared, ‘I believe it is more important than ever to motivate an agenda of kindness. Kindness that leads to the healing of the mind, body, and soul. Kindness that invigorates initiatives that are fearless in their effort to help humanity learn the importance of self-care.’

 The artist has made a living existing in the fringes, as she encourages individuality and kindness from her followers who she has dubbed, little monsters. 

‘Whenever someone told me I wasn’t good enough throughout my career and life, I never let it break me. I promised myself that every time I heard ‘no,’ it would motivate me to work harder. The most daring thing I did was believe in myself,’ she said.  

Gaga has maintained her status as an icon for the marginalized and has achieved incredible success in her career, recently cleaning up at the Video Music Awards.
