Lady Gaga Goes Sans Makeup for ‘Harper’s Bazaar’

She’s generally all about costumes and alter egos, but in the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Lady Gaga proves she’s just as fierce without all the props. “Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside,” she tells the magazine, posing barefaced on the cover. “I think what has been lovely about my relationship with the public is that they expect something unexpected from me.”

And despite managing to consistently shock fans and critics with her getups — she even sported protrusions on her cheekbones last time she graced the cover of the mag — when it comes to her own self-image, she says she’s quite comfortable in her own skin. “I’m very free-spirited,” she says. “Even when I was a kid, I used to run around naked with the babysitter, driving her crazy.”

When the star isn’t running around the world or making a statement on the dance floor, she stays in shape with other activities. “I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy. You know, my work sort of feeds me. I keep in shape by working hard.”

leslieD on

she is wearing makeup even if it is not color as usual. they did the same thing with angelina jolie–no makeup and she was wearing it as well. do you really think we cannot see the cosmetics on the face??

Loloa Brigida on

She’s actually very pretty.

I think Lady Gaga is an amazingly talented singer,
shes herself and will always be. With or without
makeup shes beautuiful and all around Amazing.

Yaya on

Well…..that explains it all! put the clown face back on please….not a pretty girl.

She is not an esthetically pleasing woman. Her features are plain yet harsh. However, her zest for life, love of people and talent more than compensate for any esthetic short comings she has.

LOL! I agree with everyone else saying she is CLEARLY wearing make-up! It’s like reverse make up to make her look albino.

For those of you who keep saying how nice it is to see her in her natural state, there is NOTHING natural about these photos. And it’s NOT just because she’s wearing make-up. It’s because these pic are no closer to what she truly looks like that when she’s on stage with her face painted. The REAL Gaga has dark hair, dark brows & dark lashes. She also has a darker complexion. The woman in this photo has bleached hair, brows, & lashes. She is even wearing WHITE eyeliner on her lower waterline. PLEASE, stop saying she looks better in her natural state. This is NOT what her natural state looks like. Be your TRUE beautiful self Gaga.

maybe a little to even her out, but nothing compared to most of the time, i love her and love seeing the next thing she does. I love all she does, but my fav is You and I. Love, love, love you Lady, my man is her 54th fan!

tony on

she is clearly wearing makeup which is obvious from certain shadows. aside from that it is photo-shopped as well…
this is a joke..
