Get The Look:Madonna’s “Eye-Conic” Look

Talking Makeup is excited to share with you shu uemura’s Artistic Director Gina Brooke’s latest creation of custom diamond eye shadow as part of Madonna’s new look for her Sticky & Sweet 2009 summer tour.


Madonna makeup with Gina Brook for shu uemura

Inspired by Madonna’s hit song “Ray of Light”, Brooke, who has been working with Madonna since 2002, transforms Madonna’s eyes nightly by applying a mixture of crushed, small flawless diamonds and white eye shadow to her lids. “The resulting brightness and glow from Madonna’s eyes captivate the audience and reinforces the fact that there are always new possibilities with make up – and no rules,” commented Brooke.


To create this sparkling and bright look, Brooke adds shu uemura’s ME White 906 Pressed Eye to provide a soft, gorgeous light-reflecting, diamond like effect. Brooke feels that any woman of any age can wear a shimmery, ethereal shade like ME White 906. A little sheen helps enhance the eyes and gives an instantly younger appearance. Madonna is always up for trying new things and I think all women should feel comfortable experimenting and enhancing their beauty – on stage or off,” stated Brooke.

Neutrogena Cosmetics and Byron Williams Predict Seasonal Eyeshadow Trends

Bryon Williams, whose clients include Demi Moore, Kirsten Dunst, Nicole Richie, Joy Bryant and Jordana Brewster, says “eye shades in pink, lilac and deep purples will be making a big comeback.

The base shade contains natural soy, silk powder and Vitamins A, C, & E. The accent shade contains luminizing pearls to brighten eyes and add vibrancy.

Backstage Beauty: Charlotte Ronson by Erika Valente

Here is a great post by my friend Erika Valente, the editor of Makeup Bag , from the Charlotte Ronson’s Spring 2009 Runway Show. Charlotte Ronson is the twin sister of Samantha Ronson who is rumored to be Lindsay Lohan’s girlfriend.

Here it is: Charlotte Ronson’s Spring 2009 Runway Show was highlighted by front row occupants Samantha Ronson (Charlotte’s twin sister) and girlfriend Lindsay Lohan. Additional Ronson’s on hand were little sis Annabelle (who walked the runway) and brother Mark (the show’s DJ).

While this event seemed to be a Ronson family affair, our eyes were on Beauty.com ‘s makeup artist Tina Turnbow and the look she created backstage with Tarte .

Inspired by Madonna’s Lucky Star meets grunge, Tina Turnbow was able to achieve the look with Tarte products such as the toolbox: brow know-how eyebrow kit , green machine eye shadow, provocateur pressed mineral powder with SPF 8 and 24/7 lip sheer with SPF 15 in tea time.

While we’re on the subject of Tarte-if you haven’t tried Tarte cheek stain in tipsy , you must do so immediately!
