Skincare-Like Contouring Balms

Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm is Hydrating

Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm is a new complexion product formulated to help change the way that a person contours their face in a makeup routine.

The product maintains the brand's commitment to vegan and cruelty-free formulations, and has a stick-style design that allows for maximum ease of application. The product is inspired by the art of sculpting and comes in nine sculptural tones that span six color families, which draw inspiration from the depth and undertones of the skin. The balm also helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness, while also offering up to 12-hours of wear.

Chief Product Officer Gloria Ryu spoke on the Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm saying, "At Haus Labs, we are deeply committed to developing products where every individual feels seen and heard, with formulas made to celebrate all skin tones. Approaching the same care that we’ve taken with all of our products including our best-selling Triclone Skin Tech Foundation and Concealer, the Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm went through a rigorous shade validation process, validated by a diverse council of makeup artists and industry experts, in addition to our Global Artistry Director Sarah Tanno to ensure an inclusive shade range."
