Madonna's skin looks insanely smooth for someone her age in her new "4 Minutes" music video. We've all heard gossip about her supposed plastic surgery, but I think it's pretty obvious that she's gotten some type of lifting and toning treatments at the very least. Her face is extraordinarily smooth with minimal lines around her eyes and lips. Of course, this definitely has something to do with a talented makeup artist, custom lighting, and yes, computerized touch-ups.

- FACE: Begin by prepping your face with a serum, moisturizer, and eye cream. Then add a primer and medium-coverage firming foundation such as Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Makeup. Finish with a creamy concealer and an eye brightener. Tip: use a cosmetic sponge to ensure that everything is well blended.

- CHEEKS: Cheeks should have only a smidgen of bronzer to the areas of your face that are naturally kissed by the sun. Use a gentle hand and then apply a peachy-pink blush such as The Balm Hot Mama to the apples of your cheeks, following the natural contour of your cheekbones. For a radiant glow, add a liquid luminizer to your forehead, tip of your nose, and the top of cheekbones steering clear of the tiny wrinkles just under your eyes.
- EYES: Sweep your favorite champagne eye shadow all over the lid and with a windshield-wiping motion, apply a copper color (such as Korres 22S Orange) in the crease. Line your upper and lower lashes (heavier on the top) with a golden black liner such as Nars Night Clubbing and then apply two coats of mascara. Line the inside of your eyes with a white liner. If you feel your lashes look a little wimpy, feel free to add a few lash pieces to the outer corners of your eyes for added fullness. (Trim them so that they blend in better.)
- LIPS: Apply a pale semifrosted pink lipstick such as Heidi Klum's Very Sexy Perfect Lipstick in Heidi and then sweep a golden-pink lip gloss like Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect Lip Gloss in Jersey Pink on top. Rock on Madonna fans.

She definitely looks great for her age.
1I think she looks a bit scary - her hair looks like it's in really bad condition
and her face
looks like it's been pulled and plastered and painted beyond recognition. Sad.
2F.L.A.W.L.E.S.S. Pure Gold.
3Yay! Thanks for posting this. I was thinking of how great she looks in the video. Gorgeous! Dannysf said it best
4Madonna looks good for her age.
5wow!! thats all i can say!!
6I actually like this look. It' party-ish but not bad.
7I love the look but note to self: get a good retoucher!
8I'm 19 and my skin doesn't look like that, and she's in her 50's, do the maths!
she has tons of things on her face which gives it that fake look.
9She's defintely had plastic surgery. Her face actually looks plastic now. This is a nice make-up look for her however. That and the amazing lighting job.
10She's had surgery. On her eyes. Remember when she wore the sunglasses for months at a time? And how when she "revealed" finally how her eyes were just perfect?
11love madonna sooooooooooooooooo trying this
12Madonna looks G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.!
13I just love her look in this video! Yes, they did computer editing however she still looks gorgeous! I like the lip color blend which is perfect for spring/summer.
14It's all touched up in the video. They probably made her even look less manly than she is.
15I don't doubt that she had work done but they probably used a special filter over the camera lens to make her look more glowy/air brushed.
16It looks like Madonna had work done for the purposes of this video but does it matter, she looks lovely
Bellasugar, would happen to have suggestions on how to create this etheral modern look for medium to dark-skinned women?
17Meealaregina, I would keep the eye shadows the same — and definitely check out that Korres shadow the next time you're in Sephora. I was very impressed by the texture and color. For the lips, I think a pink that light will probably not fit as well; look for something with more pigment, such as this Cover Girl lipstick or Benefit's Candy Store.
18Never been one to really mimic her...
19love her makeup thanks for the tips!
20she really takes care of herself ...theres no doubt about that ....dont know abt the plastic surgery ...the pic could be airbrushed
21She looks great, but I feel like she is a little obsessed with her beauty and health. Didn't she recently say something about working out 3 hours a day so she wouldn't get fat? I think it's just really unrealistic for me to ever think that I'm going to look like that when I'm 50, or even like, tomorrow.
22Who would want her secrets to beauty. She is fugly.
23I have seen her recently in pics without all this retouching and she does look her age.. Which is 50 I think... She's not an average 50 because of her skincare and surgery options, but still she's not looking 25.
24Forget the makeup. What type of skin regimen does she follow? (It probably costs more than I'm worth.)
25haha I'm with you BeamerCG... whatever regimen she follows is way beyond this college girl's budget
26Oh PLEASE!
Microdermabrasion - but she didnt go overboard.
Sorry people, she has DEFINITELY had work.
27i love, adore,
28Madonna but...
is just to
pale, not
glowing skin..
i think she kinda looks like brit
29Thanks-I'm fair-medium skinned so that pink would NOT have looked cute! I'll def try out the candy store one instead.
30Wow,she is 49 I believe because I will be 49 in Aug. And we were born in 1959. I do think she's had something done the last year or so, she looks better now then she did in the 1980's!
31I use alpha hydroxy lotion every night since I turned 40 and I have no wrinkles yet. And I also think it is the time we are living in and the over the counter products that are available. I like L'oreal and Olay products. They work and are affordable.
She looks good for any age, but not really like that IRL. It's definitely the best lighting and special effects that are making her look 20 years old.
32it's called a smoothing filter. Relatively inexpensive and now most good cameras come with them. A DIY version would be to wrap pantyhose on your camera lens.
33This is fab! I love your how tos!
34She looks amazing!!
35I love her lip color. Definitely trying that.
36She looks amazing, but she's definitely had A LOT of work done.
37She looks like a drag queen! Seriously.
38Madonna looks terrible in pap pics and most of the red carpet stuff that is out there. I am not sure WHAT happened to her but she does not look as good as that photo posted of her in her video.
