How Scott Barnes Created JLo’s Halftime Show Beauty Look

To see JLo’s eyeliner from the 50-yard line, Scott used the boldest, blackest eyeliner with Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in Blacquer in her lash line and extended the line out to elongate the eye.

He then flushed out the eyes using the Scott Barnes Snatural Eyeshadow Palette in the shades “Foxy” and “Femme” to create a crease, the shades “Boudoir” and “Brickhouse” to deepen the crease, shape the eye, and smoke out the lower lash line, and then with the shade “Sin” to deepen the outer corner of the eyes, crease, and lower lash line, again, all with his 62 Brush. He then applied the shade “Twilight Sand” from his highlighter palette on the lid and inner corner of the eye, finishing off with the Scott Barnes Pumped Up Mascara and Bianca – Falsetto Lashes.

For her signature JLo glow, Scott used Marc Jacobs Beauty O!Mega Bronzer Coconut Perfect Tan in Tantalize, a warm deep bronze, on her forehead, cheekbones, and jawline using the Scott Barnes 66 Brush to deepen the contour and keep the contrast for the stage. He created a contour on the nose by mixing Marc Jacobs Beauty O!Mega Bronzer Perfect Tan in Tantric, a terracotta bronze, with the Scott Barnes Sculpting and Contour Palette in the shade “Sliced.”

To finish JLo’s signature glow, Scott applied his Scott Barnes Original Body Bling to her chest and arms.

About Marc Jacobs Beauty:

As with his fashion, Marc’s rule-breaking creativity is at the heart of his makeup vision. For Marc, getting it right involves a little bit of wrong. He inspires you to push the boundaries and create your own style. So indulge in his exquisite textures, take liberties with his provocative shades, and play with his daring designs.

Marc redefines beauty as imperfectly perfect. “I see beauty in many things and I am attracted to all sorts of imperfection, to style, to confidence or experimentation. It’s unexpected and surprises you.” Inspiration stems from the spirit of “the girl” and her makeup ritual. “I think the idea of transforming into this person you want to be, is a lot of fun…it’s the idea of a young woman enjoying creating her look, getting ready for her night out, or her night after her night out.”
