Kim Kardashian is a makeup loyalist. She entrusts her face to Scott Barnes, a celebrity beauty guru who's also well known for his work with Jennifer Lopez. Kardashian, who has talked before about her extensive contouring routine, Tweeted a series of photos yesterday of Barnes prepping her face for a Kardashian Kollection photo shoot. While a little heavy-duty for everyday wear, the transformation is nonetheless impressive. If you want to try it out, Barnes has his own studio space with his partner, hairstylist Frank Galasso, on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood.
