Jennifer Lopez wowed at last week’s American Music Awards, first in a shimmering silver Balmain top and skirt on the red carpet, and then a sheer LaQuan Smith bodystocking for her performance with Maluma.

Mary Phillips was the woman behind her make-up, and she’s talked us through exactly how she created the 51-year-old’s stunning look with Pat McGrath Labs products.

“The inspiration for the 2020 American Music Awards, we went with a sultry graphic liner with a modern ‘60s twist,” she shared.

Skin

Blend LuxeTrance Lipstick in LaBeija onto the cheeks for a hint of colour finish. Press Skin Fetish Highlighter + Balm Duo in Golden onto the high planes of the face to create an iconic glow. The Skin Fetish: Sublime Skin Highlighting Trio accentuates cheekbones, the centre of the nose and cupid’s bow.

Make-up swaps: Glossier Haloscope dew effect highlighter and Too Faced Born This Way Turn Up the Light Skin-Centric Highlighting Palette.

Eyes

Blend PermaGel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil in Xtreme Black into the crease and on the upper and lower lash line to create the shape of the look and add depth. Sweep Mothership V: Bronze Seduction Palette in Entrapment as the base mixed with EYEdols in Statuesque on the lid. Use Disobedient in the crease and lower lash line to add structure and depth. Use Astral Ghost Orchid shadow in the inner corners and under the brow for shine on the lid. Finish with the Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner on the upper lash line for definition and Dark Star Mascara on the lashes.

Make-up swaps: MAC Pro Longwear Eye Liner, Bobbi Brown The Essential Multicolor Eye Shadow Palette in Burnished Bronze, Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in Cosmic, Smashbox Always On Liquid Eye Liner, and bareMinerals Lashtopia Mega Volume Mascara.

Lips

Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil in Contour shapes and defines lips with precision. Use MatteTrance Lipstick in Christy for the perfect nude lip and top it off with Lust: Gloss in Gold Allure for added shimmer.

Make-up swaps: Pixi Lip Contour Liner in Bare Buff, Ciate Smile On Lipstick- Be Kind, and Jouer Cosmetics Shimmer Lip Gloss.
