In 2022, Axel Makeup Academy made history by hosting the first-ever Scott Barnes Masterclass in Washington, D.C. Students from all backgrounds came together for this unforgettable experience, witnessing a true icon in the beauty industry share his techniques live. It was more than a class it was a moment that united our beauty community, inspired future artists, and gave attendees a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the most influential figures in makeup.
