There is a fairytale element to the Madame Figaro May 2014 editorial that appears to channel the character of Maleficent more than any of the beloved Disney princesses. This is appropriate considering that the movie revolving around this evil character is hitting theaters this weekend. Those who want to channel Angelina Jolie's dark beauty in the movie would do well to take note from this photoshoot.
The Madame Figaro May 2014 editorial may focus on featuring an edgy collection of jewelry handpicked by fashion editor Sophie Vigie, but it is the maroon-hued eyeshadows and stained lips courtesy of makeup artist Cathyanne Mac Allister that will capture people's attention at first.
Titled 'Black Desires,' the Madame Figaro May 2014 editorial stars Elena Shilnikova, who poses for Gyslain Yarhi.
