Grammys 2016: Lady Gaga Cried While Getting Ready for Her David Bowie Tribute
Girls in the Beauty Department
One of the most anticipated—and sure-to-be-emotional—performances of the 2016 Grammys Monday night is Lady Gaga's tribute to the late David Bowie. And this only solidifies the fact that you should prepare to keep some tissues on hand. While getting ready for her appearance on tonight's red carpet, where Gaga showed up wearing a bright red wig and custom Marc Jacobs dress, the singer Snapchatted her makeup artist Sarah Tanno applying her bold blue eyeshadow and Swarvoski crystal accents—and she's visibly crying while listening to Bowie's "Blackstar" in the background. Watch the emotional clip below: A video posted by Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) on Feb 15, 2016 at 3:08pm PST The eye shadow colors here, FYI, are all Sephora products: Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12Hr Wear Waterproof in My Boyfriend's Jeans and Surfer Babe, plus Sephora Collection Contour Matte Gel Eyeliner Waterproof in Navy Baby. She also shared that she'll have a big wardrobe change for the performance. This time nodding to Bowie's Major Tom persona (the fictional astronaut from "Space Oddity" and "Blackstar," among others). Here on Lipstick we've talked in great detail about the profound influence Bowie has had on the beauty industry. Zendaya, for example, showed up

Here on Lipstick we've talked in great detail about the profound influence Bowie has had on the beauty industry. Zendaya, for example, showed up to the Grammys with a mullet tonight (which, yas, queen!). And recently at the Maison Margiela couture show, Pat McGrath paid homage to Bowie's unapologetic display of self-expression. We can only hope that as fashion month and award season goes on, there continues to be a movement to take risks, be creative, and above all, have fun. Isn't that what beauty is all about?
UPDATE: Gaga's performance was just as weird and wonderful and full of energy as we could have hoped. And the makeup, SO GOOD. Watch the full performance here.
