In the world of makeup, there are some well-kept techniques for a look worthy of the biggest celebrities. From time to time, some of them are revealed to the common man and we can finally draw inspiration from them to achieve a makeup look like on the red carpet. This is the case with this tip, shared on social networks by Scott Barnes, a professional makeup artist whose clients include Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion and Heidi Klum. It smooths out wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, and ensures that the concealer lasts all day. The best part? It only requires two inexpensive products and is very easy to reproduce.
So, equip yourself with a liquid or creamy concealer, but also and especially the Aquaphor lip repair stick. Start by applying the balm to the eye contour. This will prepare the skin to receive makeup, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines while deeply hydrating the epidermis. Wait one or two minutes for the product to penetrate the skin.

Say goodbye to touch-ups during the day and hello to flawless makeup that lasts.“, writes Scott Barnes under an Instagram post. We see him putting his technique into practice and the result is amazing. In the long run, the area is very hydrated and the fine lines are reduced. In addition, the lip balm contains an SPF30 index, essential for protecting very fine skin and preventing wrinkles in the long term.
Be careful though, this technique is to be used occasionally, during an evening or an important event. Indeed, the Aquaphor stick contains mineral oils, which can cause milia grains. This is also the case with many lip balms. For daily use, it is therefore preferable to turn to nourishing products, specially formulated for the eye area.
