If there’s one thing Lady Gaga goes to do, it’s make an announcement. Since her makeup brand HausLabs launched exclusively on Amazon in 2019, it’s been no different. 

After seeing all of the TikTok hype (it’s been living rent-free on my “for you” page), I used to be particularly excited to try the Tricolone Skin Tech Foundation and put it to the test on melanin skin.

Fairly than simply being one other heavy foundation, this product is targeted on being buildable so that you may select the extent of coverage you’re searching for. But because my skin is combination, I’m consistently battling dry patches and an oily t-zone, and are likely to look greasy by the top of the night. Not to say, I break out often along my cheeks and chin, and these breakouts are likely to scar. In order a combo-girlie, I had to seek out out — wouldn’t it live as much as the hype? 

In relation to makeup, I’m definitely a less-is-more form of person. This will sound cliche, but I really like when something looks like “your skin, but higher.” The Tricolone Skin Tech Foundation aligns perfectly with my makeup values and has 20+ good to your skin ingredients like redness-reducing fermented arnica, calming green tea, soothing chamomile flower, collagen-inducing tiger grass, and revitalizing ginseng that transcend making my complexion just look hydrated and healthy while the muse is on my skin.

Before everything, upon first try, I used to be actually incredibly surprised by the coverage it offered given it’s labeled as a medium-coverage foundation. Though I matched with 370 Medium Neutral, the Triclone Skin Tech Foundation has 51 shades and is stuffed with skin-loving ingredients. It’s also vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free, the formula is made for a your-skin-but-better finish.

I specifically loved how lightweight this felt. There’s nothing I hate greater than the sensation (and look!) of cakey makeup, but this texture feels so silky and smooth upon application after which dries all the way down to a weightless finish. It actually appears like you’re wearing a skin tint, which makes it perfect for the summer months. Second, it gives off a very pretty, lit-from-within glow that I’m obsessive about, and third, one layer was enough to attenuate the look of my large pores without sacrificing the actual skin feel and appear.

After all, with good makeup comes good skin prep, so ensure that that you just prep your face first. And since it was buildable I used to be capable of go up on the second layer to cover my dark spots and use more full-coverage concealer. 

#BeautyTok didn’t steer me mistaken this time (I’m sad to say, it has happened sometimes). It seriously appears like you have got nothing in your skin, and might be added to my summer makeup rotation!
