Scott Barnes Body Bling is perfect for spring and summer body prep. Available in two editions, Original and Platinum. This sunless tanning illuminator gives sexy, glowing, and bronzed skin without the risk of sun damage.

“Put it on the body like a moisturizer to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of cellulite, spider veins, sun damage, etc. The light from the Body Bling attracts the eye, making legs, arms – everywhere! – appear slicker and slimmer. I always remind clients to apply it liberally to give ample coverage and effect,” says Scott.

To achieve instant glowing skin, apply Body Bling to exposed parts of the body in either a champagne glow or natural, warmer tone – and you are good-to-go! Skin is left supple, shiny and blinged out.

Scott Barnes is credited with creating gorgeous looks for his numerous celebrity clients, however the iconic looks he created for Jennifer Lopez started a cosmetics revolution and gave birth to a new look coined “the glow” – monochromatic, with bronzed skin and pale lips. The Glow exuded both a natural and yet highly polished radiance – one that could be felt from the inside and shining out. This signature look became known as “lit from within” and launched the world famous shimmering bronzer, Body Bling.

Body Bling retails for $38 and is currently available at www.scottbarnes.com.

Arlenis Sosa Latina magazine March 2010 Cover and Lancôme: The radiant Arlenis Sosa, one of Lancôme’s favorite spokesmodels, was feted by Lancôme and Latina magazine on Monday night, Feburary 22nd, 2010. The party celebrated Arlenis’s cover story in the March 2010 issue of Latina (image below).

The fun party, which was held at The Lancôme Boutique on NYC’s Upper West Side, attracted quite a crowd. Makeup artist Scott Barnes was there, as were pop star Kat DeLuna and MTV’s Julissa Bermudez—fellow Dominicanas there to cheer on Arlenis. (We were especially loving Kat’s dramatic black eyeliner and glossy lips, which was done by Scott himself.) The team behind the cover—photographer Marc Baptiste and makeup artist Rene Garnes—also dropped by. Arlenis was thrilled to see designer Luis Menieur there, too. After all, he did launch her modeling career after discovering her in Santo Domingo!

Arlenis looked radiantly chic in a Bordeaux-colored Alexander Wang mini-dress. The Lancôme Boutique’s Ewa Szwed did Arlenis’s makeup for the party here are the Lancôme products used:

Color Fever Shine lipstick in Bronze Heat
Le Lipstique Sheer Plum lip liner
Color Fever Plumper in Puckered
Hypnose Drama mascara
Blush Subtil in Shimmer Violet Sunrise for contour
Blush Subtil in Rouge Glow on the apples of the cheeks
Color Design Cream Blush in Model Mocha as highlight
Le Vernis in Untamed Plum on nails

Ka DeLunat, Arlenis Sosa, and Julissa Bermudez

Barnes is famous for his ability to give women an inner light and in the book he shares some his trademark transformational secrets. One of our favorite beauty tips from Barnes has to do with sculpting. Before he puts anything else on–concealer, foundation, blush–he first enhances a woman’s facial bone structure with contouring and highlighting creams and powders. Most makeup artists will sculpt after they’ve put on your foundation and concealer, but Barnes swears that sculpting beforehand creates a gorgeous inner radiance that looks natural and ethereal. One look at Jennifer Lopez and we saw instantly what he meant! Read full article in dailymakeover.com

I absolutely adore Jennifer Lopez and her little black dress last night at the Scott Barnes About Face Book Launch Party at the Hotel Gansevoort in New York City. Mr Scott Barnes has been doing makeup for JLO for many years now and he is known for creating Jennifer’s very famous monochromatic makeup looks. Quite revolutionary in my opinion! Scott managed to take all of us beautiful people from the harsh early 90′s makeup into a whole new soft and pretty era of makeup.
