Scott’s expertise is invaluable to Jennifer, 40, because he introduced her to contouring – it’s the secret to a flawless face for the singer and so many other stars. “Everybody has different places you want to highlight and take away from,” she told In Touch at the launch of Scott’s new book, About Face. In addition to working his magic with his favorite products, Jennifer says the best advice he has given her has been to get plenty of beauty rest – and stay out of the the sun! “He really nailed that into my head,” Jennifer explains. “We’ve known each other for 10 years, and have always used self-tanners and bronzers to protect my skin.”

Proof the style spectacular is starting to loosen its exclusivity? Designers like Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs are, for the first time ever, broadcasting their shows online. Naomi Campbell opened up tomorrow’s Fashion for Haiti runway show to the paying public (it’s sold out). And even Anna Wintour is letting her right hand man Andre Leon Talley serve as judge on “America’s Next Top Model.”

Since the fashion industry in NY employs 175,000 regular folk to get these clothes on racks and into shoppers’ hands, letting everybody in on the behind-the-scenes magic is more important now than ever.

Singer-and-actress Jennifer Lopez has been photographed to appear on the front cover of a beauty book by make-up artist ‘About Face’.

Jennifer Lopez’s face has been featured on the cover of a beauty book. The stunning actress was snapped especially for make-up artist Scott Barnes’ new book ‘About Face’ which is based on how to transform yourself and look like a film star. Jennifer, 40, has worked with the beauty mogul for over 10 years and he even travelled with her when she worked on her latest movie, ‘The Back-Up Plan’. His new book will be launched in two versions – one for the US and one for Britain. The US version contains the tag line ‘Amazing transformations using the secrets of the top celebrity make-up artist’ on the cover. Jennifer – who the make-up maestro has previously called his ‘muse’ – has posed elegantly for the two front pages. The US version shows her sporting natural cosmetics with her hair tied up, while on the British pictures her with hair dramatically blowing away from her face. Jennifer also wrote the foreword for the book. Last night (20.01.10), Jennifer dressed up in a classic black strapless Louis Vuitton dress for the exclusive launch at Club Provocateur, inside New York’s Hotel Gansevoort. She looked stunning as she helped Scott promote his latest work. The pair were joined by fashion designer Christian Siriano and former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland.
