@ScottBarnes68 is back in the retail game, makeup fanatics, and you can find his products @HudsonsBay.
Last week, I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet with Barnes – he was in town to present at The Bay as part of their Beauty Obsessed event last Saturday.
Barnes is known for creating the infamous J.Lo glow, and Kim Kardashian’s intense contouring look. He is the go-to celebrity makeup artist and works with famous faces as his full-time job. Barnes had a makeup line (that used to be carried at Holt Renfrew ages and ages ago), and his Body Bling is still available at The Bay. Body Bling was one of the first body highlighting products on the market. It make skin look glowing and flawless and lasts the whole entire day.
The news is that Barnes will be coming back with a new makeup line – and it’s going to be amazing. It’ll have products to contour, to highlight, and amazing foundations that are incredibly skin-like. I know I can’t wait!
And for the record, I still have the Chic Palette from 2007, and that’s what I used to use to contour.
I had to ask Barnes: what was his makeup pet peeve? His answer: contour that looks obvious. It’s not supposed to be an obvious line, he said. You’re supposed to blend blend blend, so that only you know you did it, and no-one else does.
Barnes’ line will be one to watch for – he’s tried everything out there, and already learned from his first retail experience, so it will be interesting to see what he thinks we need.
