We're GAGA For This Foundation

My New Everyday Base?

Triclone Skin Tech Foundation By Haus Labs By Lady Gaga

I'll be honest — I went into this foundation a little skeptical. At around $49, it sits in that awkward "is it worth it?" price range, and I've been burned by hyped-up complexion products before. But after a few weeks of consistent wear, I think this one actually lives up to the buzz.

The medium coverage claim is accurate, which I genuinely appreciate. So many foundations advertise "medium" and deliver either a sheer tint or something that sits on your face like a mask. This one actually evens out my skin tone and covers redness without making me look like I'm wearing foundation — which, at 27, is exactly what I want. My skin looks like skin, just better.

The formula is where things get interesting. Haus Labs infuses it with fermented arnica, which is supposed to calm inflammation over time. I can't say I noticed a dramatic skincare transformation, but my skin never felt irritated or congested after wearing it — a genuine win for my combination, sensitivity-prone complexion. It wears beautifully for about six to seven hours before I notice any fading around my nose and chin, which is pretty standard. A light setting powder keeps it going all day.

Application is easy whether you use your fingers, a sponge, or a brush. I personally love pressing it in with a damp beauty sponge for that seamless, second-skin finish. The shade range is also impressively inclusive - I found my match on the first try, which isn't always the case.

For dry-to-combination skin it's almost ideal straight out of the bottle. Overall, this foundation has quietly become my go to for days when I want to look polished without a heavy makeup feel. It delivers when it counts.
