Jennifer Lopez is an icon. She gave us "Jenny from the Block" and "Waiting for Tonight." She inspired us to learn self-defence with Enough. And her current Vegas show is one of few reasons to consider a trip there. Basically, she's a gift that keeps on giving, even down to her beauty look. From her honey-blonde hair and bronzed skin to flawless smoky eyes, we want everything she's serving up.
Ahead, we're paying tribute to the golden girl's glamour over the years by taking a quick trip down memory lane to see the five things she consistently does with her hair and makeup to look so damn good. Get ready to take notes.
1. Metallic & White
Lopez loves bronze, gold, and copper eyeshadows, and she tends to pair those shades with another colour: white. It's an age-old makeup trick that instantly brightens eyes and complexions.

Not only does the white liner (we love this one from Nyx Cosmetics) conceal redness and wake up the face, but it makes Lopez's metallic shadow pop even more.

2. Long Acrylic Nails
If you haven't noticed Lopez's nails before, we don't blame you. It's hard to look away from the star's radiant skin and sultry eyes, but her manicures are equally on point.

Typically, Lopez goes for a round nail shape, but she's been known to opt for a more tapered effect, too. Time to hit up your favourite nail salon for the look.

3. Body Makeup
J.Lo's skin glows — there's no denying that. But it isn't just her face that gets the bronze-and-go treatment: Her entire body does, too.

Lopez employs a host of body contouring techniques, oils, and self-tanners to achieve her flawlessly radiant skin.

4. Peach Palette
Lopez's makeup looks usually veer dramatic on the eyes and neutral on the lips. But rather than reaching for a typical tawny nude shade, she opts for brighter peach tones.

We don't blame her: The apricot colour flatters a range of skin tones and pairs well with pretty much any hair look, makeup style, or outfit.

5. Contour Queen
J.Lo makes her already enviable features that much more standout by highlighting and contouring them to perfection.

She highlights the usual places — bridge of the nose, cheekbones, chin, and inner corners of the eyes — but we're willing to bet she does a few strokes on her clavicle, legs, and arms, too.
