Jennifer Lopez has her signatures when it comes to style and beauty. For nails, it’s always some variation of a classic nude. For fashion, she loves classic glamour and sparkle. And when it comes to makeup, it’s usually a bronzed goddess look with a glossy nude lip sitting under a perfect wavy blowout—which she has worn to more red carpets and public appearances than we can count.
However, as we all like to give in to new trends from time to time, JLO wanted to try out a festive fall iteration of her classic goddess glow: a “pumpkin spice” glow, if you would. On November 21, she posted a tutorial for how to spice up her staple glam, just in time for Thanksgiving.
The video starts with the triple threat bare-faced and talking to the camera about how she has been seeing everyone hype up latte makeup online—which has been JLO’s go-to for decades—and was inspired to do a pumpkin spice latte look for the holidays.
Lopez’s first step for was applying a bronzy shade to contour right above her eyelid. Lopez used the Tom Ford Eye Color Quad ($90), taking a brown shade and applying it in a ‘C’ formation right on the ridge of her eyebrow above the inner corner of her eye, saying that her longtime makeup artist Scott Barnes taught her this this trick to give a “beautiful shape to the eye.” Then, she went in with a “yellow-y” color on her lid, blending it over her entire eye.
After that, she moved on to complexion. Because her skin was already dewy and flawless before she clicked record, she really only needed a dab of highlighter to liven up her skin. For this, she used JLO Beauty’s That Star Filter Complexion Booster ($40) in the shade Pink Champagne, applying a pump of the liquid formula on her cheekbones, under the arches of her eyebrows, and on the ridge of her nose.

For the “cinnamon spice, pumpkin-y” lip combo, she first lined her lips to create a frame. For this step, she used a Makeup Forever Artist Color Pencil ($22), to contour her lips, leaving the center pigment-free. Then, she applied the JLO Beauty Beso Balm ($19), which added just as much shine as hydration. She added that the vanilla flan flavoring of the lip mask brought her more into the cozy pumpkin spice vibes.
To “toast” her face, she dusted a cream bronzer across her jawline, cheekbones, and temples before going in with the finishing touch—more of her Pink Champagne complexion booster for that signature J. LO glow.
