So when I heard the news that the award-winning brand had finally arrived on Australian soil, I could not wait to throw all the products on my face ASAP.
The Triclone Skin Tech Foundation is easily one of the most talked about Haus Labs products, winning a handful of beauty awards and voted the 'best foundation' multiple times.
It's also gone crazy viral over on TikTok, with the likes of influencers Mikayla Nogueira and Alix Earle being big fans.
Keep on reading to see which products from Lady Gaga's brand Haus Labs are worth your hard-earned cash.
OUR REVIEW OF LADY GAGA'S BEAUTY BRAND HAUS LABS
Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation
$85 at Sephora

The most anticipated arrival to come from Haus Labs is the viral foundation – and all of its 51 diverse shades.
The Korean-made formula promises medium yet buildable coverage. It's infused with over 20 skincare ingredients to really keep your skin feeling hydrated.
And it turns out it's expert-approved too – my makeup artist used the foundation on me on my wedding day last year and I've been dying to get my hands on it ever since!
One thing you notice right away with the foundation – and the rest of the Haus Labs range – is the gorgeous packaging. It's all packed in these beautiful glass vessels with holographic accents, and it feels very heavy and luxe.
As mentioned, Haus Labs offers 51 shades, sitting among six colour families with a mix of different undertones too. After following the easy-to-use shade finder on the Haus Labs website, I went with the shade 110 Light Neutral.
My skin type is pretty normal – it's not super oily or super dry and I get the occasional hormonal breakout.
Upon first use, I could not believe how easy this foundation was to apply. It has a silky serum-like texture that blends onto the skin like butter.
One thing I will note is that when I first swatched the shade 110 onto my skin, it looked super yellow. However, after blending it adjusted to my natural skin tone.
What's more, the Haus Labs foundation is formulated with patent-pending fermented arnica, which helps to control redness.
I found the formula super easy to blend, helping to blur imperfections and giving me plenty of coverage. My first day of wearing this foundation, even my husband noticed I was wearing something new on my face because my skin looked so good.
As I checked in on the foundation throughout the day, I noticed that I didn't have any creasing or any spots of product breaking up – something that I've definitely experienced before.
It wore beautifully for about 12 hours, and never started to feel heavy or cakey.
This is a weightless foundation that feels so comfortable – it's not too dewy or too matte, but rather offers a really natural, skin-like finish. This is my new holy grail!

When it comes to concealer, I need something that's hydrating, long-wearing and buildable. Thankfully, this skin-loving formula is made with BioTech caffeine and niacinamide to help brighten and depuff, hyaluronic acid complex to hydrate, fermented arnica to reduce redness and a BioFerment 7 Complex to overall protect the skin.
Similar to the foundation, the Triclone Skin Tech Concealer offers six diverse shade families with four undertones – there are 31 colours to choose from and I went with the shade 05.
My favourite thing about the Triclone Skin Tech Concealer is that it's packed with flexible pigments that make it really easy to work with. You can blend it with a brush, sponge or even just your finger if you're in a rush.
It's also non-comedogenic, scoring bonus points because it won't clog acne-prone skin. This makes it a perfect concealer choice to cover breakouts.
I love pairing this with the foundation, or I'll just use the concealer on its own if I'm going for a lighter makeup day.
This is sort of a magic concealer – it's full coverage while also giving a super natural finish.
It never felt dry or cakey, and dried down quick enough to where it didn't settle into any fine lines. I love how this wears throughout the day! Another great pick that still makes your skin look like skin.

Never in a million years did I think I could love a foundation brush as much as I love this one. And I'm low-key kind of amazed at how well it works.
Each and every brushstroke applies the foundation so seamlessly. This is a must-have if you find you're always applying your makeup in a rush. The angled brush is fluffy yet dense, with the synthetic bristles getting into every nook and cranny.
I even used the foundation brush to blend out my cream contour (which was perfect thanks to the angled shaped) and the concealer under my eyes – a step that I normally reserve for a smaller brush or damp beauty sponge.

Let me tell you, I'm a blush girl through and through with my collection of cream blushes slowly getting out of hand. I've tried almost every one out there but this one from Haus Labs has got to my one of my favourites.
There are loads of gorgeous colours to choose from but I went with the shade ' Glassy Rosette '. It's pigmented but not too pigmented (ahem, Rare Beauty), so it's super easy to work with, giving you an instant flush of colour.
The formula is serum-based, containing fermented arnica to reduce redness and goji berry complex to make the skin look plump and juicy.
When applied to the skin, it doesn't look matte but rather dewy, giving this glass-like finish that looks absolutely beautiful on.
I don't recommend swiping the stick directly onto your skin – and to be fair, I never do that with a cream blush. I like to swipe this on the back of my hand to warm the product up, then I'll go in with a brush to apply, or you can use your fingers too.
Think of it as a highlighter and blush in one, perfect for those full coverage makeup days, or when you're just looking for something light and flushed.

Like everything else from Haus Labs, the Bio-Radiant Glassy Highlighter Balm is a serum-based formula that's packed with loads of skincare ingredients.
And out of everything I got the chance to try, this is probably my least favourite Haus Labs product – which is saying something because I'm pretty much obsessed with everything else.
It's a pretty highlighter but it's not as pigmented as others in my collection.
I think that might also have to do with the shade I chose – I went with 'Glassy Opal' – as I've seen videos online of people swatching other colours and they look super intense and gorgeous. So take it with a grain of salt!
Formula wise, I love how it feels super creamy on the skin, working well with either a brush or the warmth from your fingers.
The packaging is super travel-friendly and it's easy to precisely apply highlighter to the high points of the face.
The highlighter balm is also multi-use so you can apply this on your cheeks, eyelids, lips and the rest of your body too. This is a good one to try if you love a subtle glow!

Bronzer is a must-have in my makeup routine as I love the warmth it gives. I was especially excited to try this one from Haus Labs as it's meant to be a cool hybrid formula.
From the eight shades on offer, I went with 'Bronzed Umber Light' and it's the perfect colour for my skin tone – not too warm and not too cool.
The formula is pigmented but still easy to work with – you don't have to be afraid of picking up too much product and looking all muddy.
As promised, the formula is sort of like a powder and cream hybrid – I love the feel of it, it's very velvety smooth especially when you swatch and apply it to the skin.
The Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer blends like an absolute dream, feeling super smooth on the skin – it's also designed to help blur imperfections, so that's a big tick in my books!

TikTok star Khaby Lame detained in US as pro-Trump influencer boasts of reporting him
Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality, has left the US after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Serigne Khabane Lame, was detained on Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed in a statement. He has not publicly discussed his detainment and did not immediately reply to a request for comment from the Associated Press. News of the influencer's detainment comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, which has included raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE in the city's downtown area. Demonstrations have since spread to more cities across the US, with protesters marching in New York, Atlanta and Chicago on Tuesday night. Bo Loudon, a self-described "pro-Trump influencer", claims he was the one to flag Lame's visa status with officials. "I discovered he was an illegal who overstayed an invalid VISA, evaded taxes, and I personally took action to have him deported," the 18-year-old wrote on X. Loudon repeated the claims across several social media posts, claiming to have learned of Lame's visa status through friends and business partners who had worked with the Senegalese-Italian, but did not publish any evidence for his claims. Italian travellers are allowed to stay in the US for business or tourism purposes for up to 90 days without a visa under the Department of Homeland Security's Visa Waiver Program. According to an ICE spokesperson, Lame arrived in the US on April 30 and "overstayed the terms of his visa". A voluntary departure, which was granted to Lame, allows those facing removal from the US to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from re-entering the US for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which showed him reacting to absurdly complicated "life hacks". Lame has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. In 2022, he signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss, and last month attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the US. He was born in Senegal, but moved to Italy as a baby with his working-class parents and now has Italian citizenship. ABC/AP

‘Preachy': The truth behind The Project and Q&A's brutal axings
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. Once hugely influential within Australian culture, The Project and Q&A at their heights were able to make headlines and not only spark on-screen debate, but also further conversations within society. Sadly for Channel 10 and ABC, those days are long behind them, and this week, both networks finally decided to put the ageing shows out to pasture. Launched in 2009 as The 7pm Project with co-hosts Carrie Bickmore and comedians Charlie Pickering and Dave Hughes, the panel show won Gold Logies for Bickmore and for co-host Waleed Aly. By the time Covid-19 had the world in its grasps, viewership had begun to crumble, and year-after-year Network 10 was forced to deny that its once ratings behemoth would be coming to an end. Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris broke the news of the show being axed earlier this week. Picture: 10. When the news finally became official last week, it was hardly a surprise to many. But that doesn't make it any less devastating for the hundreds whose jobs are now in question at Channel 10, as well as those at ABC now that its own long-running current affairs show, Q&A, is also being axed from the airwaves. 'ABC has a fixed budget, it has to go begging to the government if it wants more,' said media analyst Steve Allen, director at Pearman Media Agency. 'It has to run everything on the smell of an oily rag, they're running multiple radio and television networks all off a smaller budget that most commercial networks, apart from maybe 10, don't have to operate off,' he told 'But the common theme here is that programs have to perform,' Mr Allen continued. 'They have to attract an audience; for entirely different reasons if we're talking Channel 10 and ABC. But at their core they have to be popular. It's more than a decade since The Project was at its height of viewership. Seven and Nine, their news shows are ratings behemoths. They're in the top five programmes every night of the week. 'It's incredibly hard for anyone to compete in that hour or hour and a half, whether that's SBS, ABC or Channel 10. And that's the problem The Project faced. Its ratings aren't going up. Since its stellar cast faded away bit by bit they've tried all sorts of personality and host combinations none of which really worked,' he added. The Project attracted almost a million nightly viewers at its height. Picture: Channel 10. As advertising dollars have continued to decrease over the years, forcing free-to-air broadcast networks around the world to tighten their purse strings and shift their entire business models to compete with streaming, Mr Allen explained that it's likely Channel 10 saw The Project's timeslot as an untapped revenue stream. 'It's contracted out to Rove Productions and one has to assume that they were making money out of it. So I would imagine that Network 10 thought if they take it in-house then they can use the profit margin that was being made to spend on something different.' Some critics have suggested that the death of shows like Q&A and The Project is down, at least in part, to audiences growing tired of having a so-called 'woke agenda' being pushed onto them. But this theory feels narrow-minded, reeks of political point-scoring and fails to look at the real issues behind their demise. After all, The Project featured Steve Price throughout almost its entire run, who regularly butted heads with the likes of Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris over hot-button issues. ABC has announced that Q&A is coming to an end. Picture: ABC And we can't forget the storming victory Labour had in the elections last month, dragging the Liberal Party over hot coals on their way to a hugely historic victory that demonstrated very clearly that social media echo chambers aren't indicative of the wider Australian culture. While shows like The Project and Q&A have floundered, more straight-news based current affairs shows like Nine's A Current Affair and ABC's Australian Story have continued to succeed within the shifting landscape. Living within a world where we're bombarded with unsolicited opinions across social media on everything from our own lives to those of celebrities, perhaps the fundamental crux is that when viewers tune into a current affairs shows, what they desire more than anything is news presented to them without any form of bias along with it, regardless of the side they personally stand on. As the demise of The Project became clear, some corners of social media blamed it on the show being 'too left-leaning' and desperate to 'push the woke agenda', while others on the polar opposite side tweeted that it was just a mouthpiece 'to push right-wing agendas to a left-wing audience'. It seems clear that this is why these shows are failing, doomed to be just another relic of TV's past. They hark back to a period in our culture when nuance was not only integral to conversation but valued. Waleed Aly is beloved to many for his style of presenting, but is it a style that still works for audiences in 2025? Picture: Channel 10 Some view The Project as 'too woke' despite the show regularly featuring conservatives like Steve Price front and centre. Picture: 10 We live in a world nowadays where everything is so black and white that it's made merely flirting with the grey area nigh impossible. Shows that attempt balance now feel doomed to try and court both sides, only to end up being abandoned by both. 'Both shows had become stale and lost the essence of what they once were,' said Rob McKnight from TV industry website TV Blackbox. 'The Project turned from a light show to a preachy show and Q&A left behind the core of what it stood for.' It seems Network 10 have come to the same realisation, with their announcement of The Project's replacement 10 News+, making very clear that one thing viewers won't get when tuning in is any form of opinion from its presenters. 'At the heart of everything we do is delivering news and current affairs that matter to you,' said the announcement. 'No filler. No opinion. Just the facts.' All that's left to see now is whether that sentiment can resonate with viewers so Channel 10 can finally bag themselves a win. As more and more legacy shows begin to fall into obscurity, all eyes are slowly turning toward morning television, an institution for many around the world, including here in Australia. Once a pioneer of the format with Good Morning Australia, Channel 10 has failed to achieve success in the timeslot since the show ended in 2005. Its follow-up show, Studio 10, was brutally axed at the end of 2023. While its rivals have continued to succeed with shows such as Today and Sunrise still regularly reaching millions every weekday, some critics have suggested that it could be the next timeslot to face struggles. Could Morning Shows be on the copping block next? Mr insisting that Australia's morning shows have 'nothing' to be concerned about, at least for the time being. 'The audiences for Sunrise, TODAY and ABC News Breakfast are very strong and both TODAY and Sunrise generate plenty of revenue,' he said. 'These shows also help the networks have local programming and connect with audiences.' While initially it may seem all doom and gloom for Channel 10 when it comes to its numerous cancellations over the years, from The Project to their failed attempts at The Traitors and bringing back Gladiators where other broadcasters like the BBC succeeded, media analyst Steve Allen says that the ailing network appears to have finally hit bottom, and now the only way is a slow climb back up. 'Peak night audience across Seven, Nine, Channel 10 and SBS has actually gone up for the first time in a decade,' he shared. 'Not by much, but that's unheard of in recent times. If it has finally bottomed out, then crucially, it means the dollars that these networks have to spend won't erode any further.'
