The Rochester Adams High School cheerleader plucked her brows pencil-thin and played up her eyes with soft liner.

1983
She released her self-titled debut album and brought downtown N.Y.C. club style to the masses.
1984
Her album Like a Virgin sold millions of copies, but her look was pure D.I.Y.
1985
"This was the Like a Virgin era," makeup artist Gina Brooke has said of Madonna's American Music Awards look. "She laughs about how she did her own makeup."

"The red lips and beauty mark were her signature at the time," Brooke said of Madge's take on Marilyn. Messy platinum waves and unkempt brows completed the Who's That Girl look.
1991
She channeled a geisha for the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Madonna: Truth or Dare.

Madonna went au naturel for an Evita screening with soft wheat-blond curls and understated makeup.

2007
She hit the post-Oscars parties with Marilyn waves and pretty peach lips.

Madonna celebrated a milestone birthday and released her 11th album, Hard Candy. "At 50, she's even more experimental," says Brooke.

The icon inspired again with the dramatic looks for her "Sticky and Sweet" tour. "She doesn't take on trends, she creates them," says hairstylist Andy LeCompte. "That's why she likes taking risks."
2010
Madonna went soft for an N.Y.C. benefit with retro waves, mega lashes and barely-there makeup.
