Lady Gaga’s HAUS LABS made serious waves with their first foundation, and now the Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De‑Puffing Concealer is here with big promises: medium, buildable coverage, a natural‑looking finish, and skincare‑level ingredients that brighten, promise to hydrate the skin and de‑puff the under‑eye. As well as a massive amount of shades available.
But does it actually deliver on real skin, with fine lines, long dog walks, training hard and busy desk days? I had to know if this was just hype. You all know by now that a celeb name will not make me love the product or reach for my card to go buy it, but the buzz around this was too much to pass up on so is this the product to bring me back to the brighter less tired eye community or am i destined to be that gal who looks like she hasn't slept in a month? So let’s get into my new concealer and give this Lady Gaga concealer an honest review because that's what I do here.
Quick Verdict (in case you’re in a rush)
A medium-coverage, skincare-packed hydrating concealer for dark circles that feels like skin, lasts 8–10 hours, and works across pretty much every skin type. It’s already earned a permanent spot in my everyday makeup bag and I’ll happily repurchase when it runs out. I can see exactly why it’s been voted one of the best hydrating concealers for dark circles in the UK.
Who are Haus Labs?
HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA is the singer’s ‘clean artistry’ makeup brand focusing on performance formulas with skincare benefits. The big USP is HausTech™ Powered complexes think fermented arnica ( not as disgusting as you are thinking it's a really good skincare ingredient. ), niacinamide, hyaluronic acid complex, and BioFerment 7 to help calm redness and protect skin from environmental stress. Vegan, cruelty‑free, and designed to work on all skin types.
What is the Triclone Skin Tech Concealer?
A hydrating, de‑puffing, medium‑coverage concealer in a lightweight, creamy gel‑emulsion that claims to blur texture, brighten dark circles and conceal blemishes while keeping the skin looking like skin. You know just the dream eye make-up product. The brand says a little goes a long way, which I found true once I got the technique right. This is made as a hydrating concealer for dark circle and oh gosh it works.
The packaging deserves a mention too, a stunning heavy glass-feel tube with a doe-foot applicator that feels luxe and weighty, like proper high-end makeup. We all know I like nice packaging.
How does the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech work?
The formula pairs flexible pigments (so it doesn’t sit heavily on the skin) with a skincare‑first ingredient list. It’s designed to stretch and blend without pilling, then set to a natural finish that looks fresh rather than flat. Yes, I am a fan of this type of look. This is not full face of cake makeup, this is your skin, but better. It’s positioned as the concealer partner to the viral Triclone Skin Tech Foundation.
What ingredients are in the Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating Concealer?
In true Haus Labs style, this isn’t just makeup — it’s skincare with coverage. Fermented arnica helps calm redness, niacinamide brightens and supports the skin barrier, and a multi-weight hyaluronic acid complex keeps things plump so it won’t settle into fine lines. Add the BioFerment 7 complex for antioxidant protection and biotech caffeine for that wide-awake, de-puffed look. The formula is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and friendly to acne-prone skin.
Like the Triclone foundation, this concealer is loaded with skincare-first actives that make it more than just makeup.
Key Ingredients & Benefits:
-
Fermented Arnica (Arnica Montana Flower Extract)* – Calms redness, soothes puffiness.
-
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – Brightens, supports skin barrier, reduces dullness.
-
Hyaluronic Acid Complex (Hydrolysed HA, Sodium Hyaluronate, etc.) – Hydration at different skin layers, plumps fine lines, smooth finish.
-
BioFerment 7 Complex™ – Mix of fermented plant extracts + botanicals; antioxidant protection, helps skin stay healthy under makeup.
-
BioTech Caffeine – Biotech alternative to caffeine; de-puffing, brightens under-eye look.
-
Squalane – Lightweight emollient; softens, strengthens barrier, smooths texture.
-
Other extras – Aloe Vera, Betaine, Vitamin E for soothing, moisture, and antioxidant support.
Is the formula suitable for all skin types?
On me, I’m a combination skin type with a slightly dehydration-prone under-eye; it behaved really nicely, no caking, no obvious creasing, and it kept that bouncy look all day. I love the way it sits on the skin it looks stunning. Haus Labs markets this as suitable for all skin types, and honestly, I can see why:
-
Normal / Combo: Honestly, this is the sweet spot, it just melts in and looks natural.
-
Dry: Pop a good eye cream on first, and you’ll love how cushy and hydrating it feels.
-
Oily: You’ll probably want to set it with a bit of powder to keep it in place, but it still feels lightweight.
-
Sensitive: It’s fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, so less likely to cause a flare-up.
-
Acne-prone: Breathable, not heavy, and it doesn’t seem to clog pores, big win.
-
Mature: The hyaluronic acid complex keeps it bouncy, so it doesn’t settle too harshly into fine lines, but a smoothing primer underneath makes it even better.
Quick verdict: One of the more universal concealers I’ve tried, it adapts well no matter your skin type. I have friends of all different skin types try it and they all agree. How have you done this, magic Lady Gaga?
How does the Triclone Skin Tech Concealer perform?
I get a natural, softly blurred finish that looks like my skin on a very good day. I mean, a very good, well-rested drank all my water kinda way. Coverage is a proper medium, but buildable one thin layer lifts dark circles; a second, just where I need it, takes down redness without turning heavy. The texture is creamy with a slight gel slip, and it self‑levels if you give it a few seconds. It behaves best over skincare and SPF; with a super‑slippy primer, it can sit on top. Creasing is minimal when I go light and set with a setting spray.
What is the coverage level of the Haus Labs Concealer?
It’s true medium coverage with believable skin flex, easy to sheer as a tint or build to solid medium for dark circles and redness. It won’t erase a cystic blemish in one swipe like a full‑coverage camo, but it layers well without caking. Remember this isn't your normal concealer; this is also a skin care hybrid.
How does it compare to the Triclone Skin Tech Foundation?
The shade logic mirrors the Triclone Foundation, six shade families (Fair to Deep) with Rosy, Peach, Golden and Neutral undertones, so finding a match is painless. The foundation runs lighter and more fluid; the concealer feels creamier and a touch more hydrating. If you’re pairing them, I match my undertone, then go one shade lighter for under‑eye brightening and true‑to‑shade for blemishes.
What do wear tests reveal about its staying power?
On me: I primed my T‑zone, of course, used an eye cream under my eyes, blended with a brush, which was recommended in Sephora when I bought this product. I know I may be a dream for being influenced to buy things. Then press with a sponge. 8–10 hours looking fresh on a standard day; after a windswept dog walk, it needed a quick powder tap under the eyes at hour 6. With setting powder, it’s long‑wear enough for full days and perfect for nights out.
What is the shade range of the Haus Labs Concealer?
The Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer comes in 31 shades across six families: Fair, Light, Light-Medium, Medium, Medium-Deep, and Deep. Each family has four undertones Rosy, Peach, Golden, and Neutral so you can find a close match even if your skin tone is tricky (yes, olive undertones, I see you).
How to choose your shade:
-
For under-eye brightening → go one step lighter than your foundation.
-
For spot concealing → stick with your true shade and undertone.
-
On low-makeup days → half a step lighter lifts the centre of the face without looking obvious.
Tip: swatch 2–3 shades from your family on the jawline, then step into daylight and give them a couple of minutes to set — these shades settle slightly as they dry down.
I was shade-matched in Sephora (I wear 13 Light Neutral, Light with Balanced Undertones) and the online tool gave me the exact same result, so it’s pretty reliable if you can’t get in-store.
Are the shades suitable for different undertones?
Yes, there are four undertones designed to suit most complexions, including tricky olive tones. If in doubt, start with Neutral and adjust lighter/darker.
Tip: swatch 2–3 shades from the same family on your jawline and check in daylight. Let them set for 2–3 minutes these shades settle slightly.
Is the hype around Lady Gaga’s Triclone Skin Tech Concealer justified?
Short answer: yes, if you like natural‑looking, hydrated coverage that doesn’t scream “concealer”. It’s not a heavy camo; it’s a bright-and-blur everyday hero that still respects skin.
What makes this concealer stand out from others?
The skincare‑rich formula (niacinamide, hyaluronic acid complex, fermented arnica and BioFerment 7), a believable de‑puffing claim, a shade system that mirrors the foundation for easy matching, and the fact that a tiny amount blends out to a lot of coverage. This brand knows skin, and the proof is in the product.
Haus Labs isn’t just another celebrity brand, it’s a brand with purpose and a real passion for skin and makeup. This is the medium-coverage concealer that looks natural and actually cares for your skin at the same time.
Is it worth the hype, according to user reviews?
I did a lot of research for this Lady Gaga concealer review. The buzz online is very positive for the finish, coverage and shade range. Most love the skin‑like look and hydration; a minority mentions applicator quirks or wanting more full coverage, and I can and will echo that.
How to apply the Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating Concealer
Less is more. I prep with a lightweight eye cream, dot two or three tiny dots per under‑eye and a pin‑head on any redness, then blend with a small brush and finish by bouncing a damp sponge to mesh it with skin. Let each layer sit for 20–30 seconds before adding more. I set just through my natural crease with a whisper of finely‑milled powder; spots get a full set, and on light‑makeup days I powder only the T‑zone.
What are the pros and cons of the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Concealer?
Pros
-
Brightens and hydrates without looking heavy or obvious
-
Skincare-packed formula (niacinamide, HA complex, fermented arnica, BioFerment 7, caffeine)
-
Undertones actually make sense across the 31-shade range
-
Lightweight, comfortable, and non-comedogenic (friendly to acne-prone and sensitive skin)
-
Works on mature skin — doesn’t sink harshly into fine lines when prepped well
Cons
-
Tops out at medium coverage (not one for hardcore full-camo lovers)
-
Can crease if over-applied or if you skip setting the under-eye area
-
Only available through Sephora UK and Haus Labs direct — no Boots, Superdrug, or Cult Beauty yet
How does it perform in everyday use?
The formula is lightweight and comfy. It plays nicely with cream blush, tints and powders. On gym days or long rides ( I'm also a mountain bike athlete ), I prefer a thinner layer and extra powder through the centre of my face; for filming/photography, I’ll add a second layer only where needed and let it set between layers for that hyper‑blurred look. It’s like my under-eyes get that same plump, glowy boost I love from my Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream, but for my eyes.
How does it compare to other brands?
If you love radiant, skincare‑y concealers (think lightweight, flexible pigments), this slots right in but with better undertone precision than many, plus that de‑puffing edge. If you need hardcore full coverage for active breakouts, you might still keep a high‑coverage spot concealer in your kit. But for me, I am in love, and I reach for this 99 out of 100 times, so that speaks volumes.
What does it cost?
RRP varies by retailer. At the time of writing, it’s typically around £27 / 7ml in the UK (Sephora UK) and $32 in the US.
As far as I can tell, the Triclone Skin Tech Concealer is only available via Haus Labs’ own site or Sephora in the UK/Europe, no Boots, Cult Beauty, Superdrug, etc. at the moment. It’s nice because you get the full shade range and authenticity, but it's a bit annoying if you prefer in-store swatching outside of Sephora.
My review of what has been tipped as the best concealer for mature skin in the UK
When I first googled Lady Gaga concealer reviews. They were all really positive and this threw me so you know i went in a bit mmm. Almost too good, can this really be this amazing.
I’ve got combo skin with dehydration‑prone under‑eyes, a bit of redness around my nose and the odd hormonal blemish. Just laying all out there, also have clogged pores, aka blackheads. I wear 13 Light Neutral Light with Balanced Undertones. My routine is simple: eye cream, the tiniest dots only where I need coverage, blended with a small brush ( The one I bought) and then pressed in with a brush so it melts into the skin. I think dab with a sponge. Or if I am in a rush, it is applied with my fingers.
On an office day, it looks fresh right through late afternoon; on a windswept scottish dog walk, I add the lightest tap of powder under the eyes at about hour six. For date night or going out, I do two very thin layers only where shadows live and give each pass 20–30 seconds to settle think airbrushed, not heavy and of course I used my Charlotte Tilbury setting spray.
I have played around with the application under and over the foundation of all coverages and it works wonderfully with them all. It melts in to your skin and becomes one with it. Making any product just work with it. No caking no creasing no need to worry.
I am obsessed with Triclone™ Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer. It really is as good as they all say, and it's totally worth the hype if you like buildable, brightening, hydrating coverage that still looks like skin.
A little goes a long way. This is not a full coverage 14-hour type product, but it's a concealer that has actually helped my eye look less puffy with all those magic skincare ingredients. It really is great and I am reaching for this all the time. It must be good. I have plenty of options. I am very tempted by a few different shades to see if they would work for me, too. I do wonder how adaptable the creamy formula is. I can see why it's the best concealer for mature skin in the UK. It really is as good as they all rave about.

How to shade match (fast)
Pick your family (Fair → Deep), choose your undertone (Rosy, Peach, Golden or Neutral), then decide the job: go one shade lighter for under‑eye brightening and match your base for spots. If you’re stuck, start Neutral, swatch two or three on the jaw in daylight and give them a couple of minutes to settle.
Final verdict: Is it worth the hype?
For me, it’s a yes. If you want a new natural-looking concealer that brightens, hydrates, and keeps things natural with medium coverage. This is a brilliant everyday pick. Especially if your skin gets fussy with dry formulas. The shade range is thoughtful, and the formula plays nicely with my foundation and concealer routine without settling into lines.
