Jenifer Lopez 2012 Oscars - Carlton Institute

March 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Renowned for her glowing skin J-LO really has an ageless no-makeup look. A great way to achieve this dewy look is to use a light foundation and make sure you really blend it into the skin. This is best done using a stippling brush, which aims to give a natural and flawless coverage. Make sure you allow your foundation to set before applying any other products so that you really see it’s true effects. If your skin is oily and this worries you, just powder towards the end of your makeup routine instead.

J-LO has a matte eye shadow on her eyes, which adds to the natural effect. Apply a primer to make sure your shadow lasts, and then choose some neutral shades. A great way to sculpt the eyes is to highlight the inner corner and brow bone, whilst defining the crease (MAC’s shade espresso would really work for this). The look she wears quite a 60’s feel because of this really defined crease and lighter shade underneath. A makeup school (http://www.beauty-training.co.uk/courses/make-up-courses/make-up-courses.ashx?utm_source=Premium+Content+Creation&utm_medium=SEO+Articles&utm_campaign=Beauty+Articles) tip would be to make sure you blend this out so that the line isn’t too harsh. To add some modernity she uses gold eyeliner underneath the eye.

The singer/actor’s lashes are really long and defined, with a slight flick at the end of the eye. You can achieve these sultry, thick-lashes by using liquid liner by applying liner to the upper water line. Use a cotton bud to remove any liner that transfers onto the bottom lid.
