In case you didn’t know, for the cover of her latest album Hard Candy, Madonna (the ultimate chameleon), called on Gina Brooke, the Artistic Director of Shu Uemura, to create her super sexy look. Says Brooke, “It’s all about the eyes and we were 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 beautiful women from the sixties”.

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 ($43). This will not only calm puffiness but it will give your eyes the ultimate hydration. Then apply Phyto Black Lift Firming Anti-Wrinkle Cream ($125) 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 ($42) beginning at the arch of your brow down to the middle of your eye, directly onto the middle of the cheekbone. Each time the sun reflects off your skin, it will create the illusion of glowing, dewy, healthy, radiant skin!

STEP 2: Prime the eyelids
Using a Kolinsky Brush 11, apply Pressed Eye Shadow in M Beige 800 ($20) above the eyelids. Then, use Cover Crayon in 9YR Light ($24) in the inner corner and water line of the eyes to make them appear larger. Using the Drawing Pencil in Black ($19), 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 ($19) before applying Basic Black Mascara ($27.50) beginning at the base and rolling the brush through the tips of lashes. Apply Soft Cross Lashes ($20) 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 Shines in PK 301S ($23) layered with Gloss Unlimited in BG 930N ($22) for a soft, natural look.

In celebration of the opening of their newest Los Angeles boutique, CHANEL will launch a special capsule color collection named after its swanky location: Robertson Boulevard.

California ease, hipster cool, and true luxury intersect at Los Angeles’ hottest shopping spot, Robertson Boulevard. May 2008 brings a brand new reason to hit the block: the opening of the sparkling new Robertson Boulevard CHANEL boutique. To celebrate the occasion, Peter Philips, the new Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, has designed four limited-edition must-have nail colours, which will be exclusively available in-store.

This mini-collection of graphic, pop-art shades was inspired by the spirit of Robertson Boulevard itself, a young Hollywood hangout now famous for shopping sprees and see-and-be-seen lunch spots such as The Ivy. Just as Robertson offers a signature blend of trendiness and haute exclusivity, these nail colours are fresh, eclectic, fun — bright as a cloudless California day, and perfect for a destination where every shopper feels like a star.

MELROSE: A fun, hot pink destined to become spring’s must-have pedicure
RODEO DRIVE: A purple splash: girl power meets the power lunch
L.A. SUNRISE: A primary yellow as bright and cheerful as its name
L.A. SUNSET: A warm tangerine — just the thing for an afternoon shopping splurge

Price: $25.00

Available exclusively in-store at the Robertson Boulevard CHANEL Boutique beginning May 30th, 2008, on CHANEL.com in July 2008, or call 1.800.550.0005.

So… the hot topic on the web this week? Miss Mischa Barton and her very dimpled thighs.

Pictured here on vacation in Sydney, Australia, I guess she proved the whole “skinny-girls-can’t get-cellulite” theory wrong!

We’re not looking at a photo of a size 16 woman here - she can’t be over a size 4! She’s in her early twenties, and it appears that her plight with cellulite is rather serious. Here’s hoping she can get that under control ASAP!

Mischa, may I?

Try Nivea’s Good-bye Cellulite Smoothing Cellulite Gel-Cream. Simply massage onto your thighs daily for two weeks, and your skin will become firmer… Keep using for two more weeks, and the signs of cellulite will be dramatically reduced.

If you’re losing your fight with cellulite (I didn’t mean to rhyme!), pick this up at your nearest Wal-Mart.

Bikini season is right around the corner…

Gorgeous. Glamorous. Goddess.

Gabrielle.

Oh, how I LOVE Miss Gabrielle Union! Pictured here at the Crown Royal Playboy Lounge Party in Louisville, Kentucky, just look at her perfect skin, her shimmery eyeshadow, her flawless curls, her “I’m know I’m sexy” smirk.

She’s working it.
