Scott Barnes' Secret: Aquaphor Makeup Setting Balm

Scott Barnes was looking for a way to prevent makeup from settling into fine lines or creases in the skin, especially under the eyes and around the mouth. His discovery? Aquaphor lip balm!

His method: Apply a tiny amount of Aquaphor to areas prone to wrinkles before applying concealer or foundation .

This balm acts as a protective and moisturizing barrier, preventing product build-up.

It brings a luminous and natural effect to makeup, without weighing down the skin.

At Elite Academy, we teach how to adapt these tips for flawless, long-lasting, cake-free makeup.

The “Lit-from-Within Glow”: A Luminous and Natural Complexion

Complexion is key to successful makeup, and Scott Barnes is a master of the perfect glow.

The essential steps:

Deep hydration before any makeup for a natural and luminous finish.

Using cream and liquid textures, rather than heavy powders.

Apply in thin layers for a second skin effect.

At Elite Academy, we train our students in advanced techniques for perfect complexion, inspired by the greatest makeup artists.

Strategic Contouring: The Art of Sculpting the Face

Scott Barnes made ultra-natural contouring famous, notably used on Jennifer Lopez.

Her golden rules: Apply contouring BEFORE foundation for a diffuse and natural effect. Use warm and slightly golden shades to avoid a dull effect. Blend to perfection with a dense brush or a damp sponge.

Our Elite Academy training includes complete mastery of contouring, adapted to each body shape and skin type.

Intense Look: The Power of False Eyelashes and Perfect Gradients

Eye makeup is a Scott Barnes signature staple.

Her pro tips: Draw the liner in small successive strokes, then blend it for a natural effect. Layer several textures of eyeshadow, starting with a matte base before adding light. Apply false eyelashes in individual sections for a subtle and glamorous effect.

At Elite Academy, we teach all eye techniques, from cut crease to intense smoky, for professional and captivating makeup.

Signature Lips: Natural and Plump Effect

For perfect lips, Scott Barnes relies on subtle contouring and light textures.

Her technique: Use a pencil slightly darker than your natural skin tone. Apply a glossy or semi-matte nude lipstick. Add a touch of Aquaphor to the center of your lips for a natural plumping effect.

Our students at Elite Academy learn how to create sublime lips, adapted to the latest makeup trends.
