GN Loves...Scott Barnes Beauty

Scott Barnes, celeb makeup artist whose clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Lucy Lui, Kate Hudson, Jennifer Lopez, and more, presents his own line of beauty products to help ever girl achieve the perfect makeup look - SEXY & NATURAL! Every single item even comes with a little guide to applying perfect makeup!

Even skin tone and a smooth, flawless complexion provide the perfect canvas for beautiful makeup application. Known for giving the radiant glow to celebrity faces, makeup artist Scott Barnes offers foundations and concealers to use alone or for blending together to create picture-perfect skin!

Start creating the perfect canvas with Scott Barnes's Cream Foundation, which offers natural, creamy, invisible coverage that seamlessly blends onto bare skin for an overall even skin tone. The unique formula combines and balances the benefits of both a cream and powder foundation - it glides on silky smooth while the powder sets the foundation! The 'velvet touch' sponge applicator is stored in a separate pouch for optimum hygiene and so that more cream foundation can fit in the compact!

The Cream Concealer works to hide imperfections and mask dark areas, such as around the eyes and nose, by using shades to counterbalance darkness. Perfect to use everyday, its creamy consistency conceals without looking unnatural or cakey. It's packaged in a tiny mirror compact to stash in your purse and whip out whenever you need a little touch-up!

Enhancing the eyes without overpowering them is the key to natural glamour. Scott Banes created the tools necessary to draw attention to the face's most expressive feature - the eyes.

The Eye Pencil provides perfect definition and was created with a unique texture that offers complete versatility. Rich color and creamy texture make these eye pencils an easy art form. The texture is soft and PERFECT for smudging after application for that smoky, sultry starlet look! I tried it in Moondance, a true black hue that is perfect for dark-haired girls that want to add some depth and definition to their eyes (lighter-haired girls should try Chocolate). If you ever apply eyeliner to your inner rim, this eye pencil is an absolute essential because of it's ultra-soft formula that gently glides on instead of tugging.

Illumineye powder eyeshadow provides illumination so eyes truly shine. It offers vivid color that glides on silky and sheer. The shadow resists creasing and fading for even, beautiful color all day long. Experiment with shades, textures and application styles to design your own unique eye looks. Since this shadow is sheer, it's easy to play with super-bright colors without looking like you over-did it (for younger girls, mom maybe even let you wear super vivid or dark colors if you show her this stuff)! I tried Princess (a shimmery royal purple - great for green, hazel, or brown eyes) and Rebel (a matte indigo blue - great for blue or black eyes).

Create bat-worthy eyelashes with Lash Varnish, which Scott believe you should NEVER leave home without! He firmly believes that if you only have time for one thing, mascara is essential. By enhancing and brightening your eyes, Lash Varnish adds instant glamour. Scott loves to create a look where lashes are alluring and dominant, allowing them to be a dramatic focus that brings attention to the eyes. He uses only black mascara, as he believes it is universal and classic. He says, "Lash varnish in black works for everyone and is the sexiest thing women wear. It can turn an everyday woman into a Hollywood glam-girl in seconds!" This unique liquid mascara darkens upper and lower lashes with a natural but noticeable lash stain/dye sexiness (think goddess seduction)! The formula dries quickly and sets curled lashes as it neatly darkens and defines, and can be used to create a more demure look, drawing attention to the eyes in a less dramatic style.

Create the natural and sexy lip look Scott is known for with these three pieces for the perfect pout!

The Lip Pencil has a refined texture for a sensual, soft look. Its unique glaze consistency creates a sheer outline, keeping gloss in place with a modern, feminine edge. For a lovely lip stain, use it to fill in lips completely. I tried out See-Through Pink, which is a beautiful 'palest pink' color that glides on sheer and blends into your lips for a look that is sexy and natural at the same time!

Lip Slick is a liquid lipstick poured into a sassy mini compact. Its small size and inner mirror were designed to slip into any pocket or purse for convenient application. You can apply it lightly with your finger for a sheer color tint with lots of shine, or use a lip brush to brush on a heavier coat and create sexy patent-leather lips! I tried out Show Off, which is a tan beige.

Flossy Glossy promotes lip-gloss as THE modern lip look. Its fresh, youthful shine can be worn for any occasion. The collection contains thirteen shades of both sheer and full coverage glosses. Wear them alone for naturally fresh lips, or over lipstick for a playfully polished look! I tried Juicey, a tangerine shine!
