Lady Gaga Apologises After Haus Labs Faces Backlash over Bronzer Shade Range
Gaga said Haus Labs paused the launch after criticism and expanded the bronzer from six shades to 11 shades.
- On Thursday, October 1, Lady Gaga apologized for the lack of inclusivity in her beauty brand Haus Labs' Sun Dipped Bronzing Veil, announcing the product range expanded from six to 11 shades.
- Beauty influencer Golloria George triggered the controversy in May after testing the Sun Dipped Bronzing Veil, criticizing its limited shade range and noting the deepest options failed to serve dark-skinned customers.
- Following her critique, Haus Labs asked George to remove the video citing embargo rules, an action Gaga later described as "unkind" and not how a creator should ever be treated.
- Gaga stated the company wanted to "take full responsibility for our mistakes," confirming the brand paused the launch to return to the lab and ensure a truly inclusive range from day one.
- On Thursday, George addressed the apology by discussing the "legacy of colorism" in the beauty industry, reiterating her commitment to challenge exclusion wherever her voice can reach.
