Flawless glowing skin and ruby red lips – discover how to recreate Jennifer Lopez’s signature red carpet makeup look.
If you’re looking for some serious makeup inspiration for an upcoming first date, night out with the girls or brunch with the family then Jennifer Lopez is the perfect celebrity to turn to. Here’s how you can recreate her signature glowy skin, bronzed eyes, fluttery lashes and bold lip.
Start off by grabbing your favourite flawless foundation – if you’re planning on wearing the makeup for a while, don’t forget to apply a primer before. Once the foundation is on, go in with a cream bronzer and blend until there are no harsh lines or patches. Next, dig up your favourite highlighter and apply to the bridge of your nose, the top of your cheekbones and just under the brow bone. Fill in your brows with a shadow, liner or gel.
Before we start on the eyes, apply your go-to eyeshadow primer. This will enhance the pigments in your shadow while ensuring it’ll stay on all night long. Apply the lightest colour in the Maybelline Big Eyes palette all over your lids. Sweep the second darkest colour from the centre to the outer corner of your eye. Once it’s blended nicely, go in with the darkest bronzy shade and apply that within your crease – don’t go all the way into the inner corner of your eye though. Apply the same highlighter that you used on your face to the inner tear duct – this will give the illusion of fresh, awake eyes. Finish with some natural false lashes and a coat of mascara.
Line your lips with a red lip liner, this will prevent the lipstick from bleeding. Once done, fill in the lips with a cherry red lipstick. For an ombre, supple effect, go in with a maroon lipstick on the outer corner of your lips and blend with a lip brush.
Now you too, are ready to hit the red carpet!
