Madonna’s new look “Eye Candy” created for her new album “HARD CANDY” was designed by shu uemura’s Artistic Director and Madonna makeup artist Gina Brooke.

“It’s all about the eyes and we are both inspired by images taken in the sixties by photographer Sam Haskins (Cowboy Kate, Five Girls, and November Girls). I wanted to put a modern-day twist on these beautiful photographs of glamorous women from the sixties,” commented Brooke on Madonna’s new look that appears in the packaging on her new “HARD CANDY” CD, the current Elle Magazine featuring Madonna, as well as in Madonna’s “4 Minutes to Save the World” video with Justin Timberlake.  

Here’s how Gina designed the look using shu uemura products:

STEP 1: Prepare the face. Begin with prepping the eyes with the Moisture Eye Zone Mask. This will not only calm puffiness but it will give your eyes the ultimate hydration . Then apply Phyto Black Lift Firming Cream on the whole face-it’s an amazing moisturizer and also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Lastly, apply Face Architect Smoothing Fluid Foundation beginning at the arch of your brow down to the middle of your eye, directly onto to the middle of of the cheekbone. Each time the sun reflects of your skin, it will create an illusion of glowing, dewy, healthy, radiant skin!

STEP 2: Prime the eyelids. Using a Kolisky Brush II, apply Pressed Eye Shadow in M Beige 800 above the eyelids. Then, use Cover Crayon in 9YR Lightin the inner corner and water line of the eyes and make them apear larger. Using the Drawing Pencil in Black, begin at the inner corners extending the line out all the way to the end of the eyebrow.

STEP 3: Prep the lashes. Use the Eyelash Curler before applying Basic Black Mascara beginning at the base and rolling the brush through the tips of lashes. Apply Soft Cross Lashes to draw attention and enhance the shape of the eye.

STEP 4: Finish off with the lips. Since the focus is on the eyes, use Rouge Unlimited Crystal Shine in PK 301S layered with Gloss Unlimited in BG 930N for a soft, natural look.
