Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today we are reacting to Jennifer Lopez's Guide To
Glowing Skin And Face Contour, from Vogue Beauty Secrets.
So, just before we get into that today,
if this is your first time here, hi. My name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist here on
YouTube and also in real life.
It's my goal to help you become pro
yourself or just someone who's really good at makeup.
So if that sounds like something you are
interested in, do please consider subscribing.
And as I always see in these reaction
videos, creativity and individuality have no rules.
But makeup most definitely has a theory.
And these videos are looking at theory and how we
can implement them into skin... skin?
Makeup,
and makeup routines.
And it's always nice to look at a
celebrity and just see what they're doing.
Jennifer Lopez, known for her glowing skin. J Glow.
JLo Glow.
That's what I'm trying to say.
What's J Glow?
Her perfume? I can't remember.
Okay, I'll leave a link to the original video down
below so you can watch the whole thing as this
is going to be a little bit broken up.
"Hey, guys, Jennifer Lopez here. I'm very excited.
I'm about to walk you through my dewy
makeup look and also my skincare routine that
preps my skin for my dewy..."
She does have makeup on already.
Or a filter.
I think it's a filter because the hair
looks really soft, like it's going into... you know.
There's no definition between her hair and the thing.
So let's take this whole thing with a pinch of salt.
We can't watch something with a filter.
We can't exactly appreciate it for its honesty, can we?
"Also like to say a little bit of an affirmation.
I am in perfect health always.
My family is in perfect health always.
I am youthful and timeless at every age.
My life is full of abundance, joy."
I'm youthful and timeless at any...
I'm going to start saying that.
I'm going to start saying that, and
I will believe it one day.
"First thing, cleanser.
I use the JLo Beauty Cleanser.
Called That Hit Single.
Because I have to wear so much makeup."
Here's a question, right?
Do you believe that celebrities who release a skincare
line actually use their skincare in real life?
Because I don't think they do.
I think they know the basics and
they might use it on camera.
But there are luxury brands and treatments that I think
they would be using over their own skincare.
You know what I mean?
I don't know.
That's just an, in my head, like, guess.
"All the time and reapply it all day long.
Something that really just washes and cleanses
my face in a beautiful way.
I've always had a very simple skincare routine,
and JLo Beauty was very much about that.
I always kind of just was like,
cleanser, a little bit of a cream, sunscreen."
The filters hurt in my eyes a little bit.
It looks like, you know, like back in the day when you
have the basic filters, and it was like, we're going to
make you look like an art, like a piece of art.
And it would do that, you know?
"That JLo Glow Serum.
You know, when I was young, my mom, my grandma, and my
aunts, they all had these kind of crazy beauty secrets.
One was olive oil that actually we use, and
we created the olive complex for this very product.
But there were some other ones that
were crazy, like mayonnaise in the hair."
Here's the thing about the JLo Glow, was a
look that was literally created with makeup because it's
on the body, it's on the face.
It's like highlighters and things like that.
So to make a skincare brand and... I haven't looked
into the brand itself, so I don't really know and
be like, this is how I got it.
I don't think it's very truthful.
I am just going to skip the skincare.
Because although skincare is important to
a makeup routine, I don't know anything
about skincare, so I can't really comment.
"The first thing I do is I do a
little bit of concealer.
Anywhere that you have a little bit..."
So this is a nice amount of concealer under the eye.
And what I love, especially that she's done here is
she hasn't taken it up to the kind...
I don't know what it's called, like the eye crease.
You see where, literally, it's the outline of her eyeball.
She hasn't taken it higher up than that.
And it is below where it can
potentially crease. Makeup creases, it's skin.
It's going to crease.
And until somebody invents a creaseless something,
genuinely, then we're just going to crease.
So by applying most of a product
there, she's actually reducing that risk.
But also, but also really covering where you are potentially
the darkest, which is in these inside bits here and
below here, where the skin is a little bit thinner.
For me, sometimes it doesn't matter so
much the darkness right up here, because
I always cover it with eyeshadow.
Even if somebody doesn't want that much, I will
concealer it and then put a bit of, like,
flesh shadow on top or something like that.
So it doesn't really matter that
we're not covering that so much.
But I love the positioning and
the amount she's using.
"Then I like to do a little bit of contour.
And I take some of these darker..."
This is...
That's the Bobby Brown BBU palette,
which I had in my kit.
I had to get rid of it because
I didn't use it for so long.
So it's a whole range of foundations.
And on the other side, you flip it
over and it's all concealers and correctors.
This is actually a really
nice formula, really beautiful.
And if it is your own personal one, you
can go in with a brush like that.
If you're a makeup artist, you can use a spatula
and sanitize. But it's nice to see the different options.
I think it's really good not to... like, you don't
have to, but to go in with more than one
shade of foundation, which I very rarely do.
Who has time? Let's be real.
When you're doing your own makeup.
So it's nice to see all those options.
Let's see what she does with the deeper contour
concealer, whatever it is.
Foundation.
"And mix them. I don't feel like I need to just
use one. A little bit above my cheekbone.
Before, I used to go right here in the cheekbone,
but now I realize that if I do it a
little bit above, it lifts the face a little more."
Yes, it will lift.
When we go right underneath the
face, we're hollowing it out.
We're doing this, because we're hollowing
out where our bones already exist.
Contour is restructuring the bone structure.
Yes.
So by lifting it up and going just
slightly above and taking it up this way,
like she has, you're lifting, because now you're creating a...
an indent here instead of here.
So it's making our cheekbones look higher and rounder.
"Then I take a thinner brush like
this with some of the lighter colors.
I do a little bit of nose contour."
See, if I was to contour her nose, I wouldn't go right
to the tip like that because she has a small tip.
I would keep it just to the top half of her nose.
You don't have to contour two lines down
the middle of the nose like that.
I'm sure it's going to look fine, but you
can even see where her contour strips are starting
here in the middle of her head.
It's always nice to bring them from the brow
and then into the position you want them to
go into, just because it needs to go somewhere.
Again, contouring is restructuring the bone structure.
Your nose physically comes from this
area here and goes down.
So we do want to follow the bone structure slightly, and
then we can readjust as we come down to here.
But I would have stopped halfway through the nose.
Because her nose doesn't need contouring anyway.
But if we were to do it, she has
a nice tip of the nose. Like me,
her nose is slightly wider here.
Not the same nose, but a
similar kind of wideness there.
That's where I would do it. Just here.
"Now, this is not supposed to be lip liner.
This goes around the mouth.
And if you blend it right..."
Yeah, it's,
it's good to see somebody mixing up
different techniques and adding it together.
It's very interesting to see.
This is a nicer way of doing it than when people were just
going round the a whole lip like crazy,
up to like around here with concealer, that looked ridiculous.
"I've used this for years as well, and
I use three different shades, 50 30.
And I take a foundation brush and
now I just start blending everywhere."
Wow. Already, already
her skin looks really glowy.
Again, the filter, I'm trying to ignore that
there's a filter, but I just can't.
Looks good. It looks nice.
Her skin looks incredible anyway.
"I have a lot of older kind of beauty icons, like
Sophia Loren and Varushka, Bridget Bardot, people like that.
Like, I love those kind
of sexy, gorgeous, sireny looks.
Now I'm taking the lighter, the 20 and the 30,
and going down the light parts of my face."
I think that's a really nice idea.
That's a really good idea. And it's what people do with
a lot of concealer, but when you're doing it
with foundation, it's lighter in terms of texture.
And she has such a light
hand, which I really, really like.
It's not stabby and pokey, and
it's really light, light...
strokes.
"Taking the larger foundation brush one more time, and I
just kind of go over everything again just to blend it
all in, and I start going... " Okay, so here's my problem
sometimes with that around the hairline ridge.
You have to be really careful when
you actually meet the hairline.
And I do this a lot with
my beard, because I'm not going anywhere.
But you have to be careful that it isn't
just stopping and getting caught up in the first
row of hairs that you can see.
You really need to go in.
I would grab, like, an eyeshadow blending brush,
maybe a tapered one like this perhaps, and
just make sure I'm going along that hairline
and really pushing that product even further back.
So it's not just stopping.
It's an unblended line that you can't really blend
because you can't get your brush into the hairline.
A lot of makeup artists nowadays actually fix
that hairline anyway with, like, a hair powder,
so it's something that isn't noticeable.
But if we weren't doing a hair powder to
even out the hairline, then I would do that.
"The next thing that I would do,
just to define the eye just a little bit.
This is a Tom Ford palette, and I
take the brown because I like a very
soft look. And I love playing with makeup.
Don't get me wrong.
I love doing all kinds of makeup looks.
You guys know that.
You've seen me on the red carpet for years.
I just go along the top of the eye.
I take the lighter color here.
I feel like Bob Ross.
Who's that guy who does the painting?
Bob Ross.
Just enough.
And then..." I love that she's hooked that product.
This is what I was talking about with the contour.
You see how she's taking her shadow and
taking it round here into the nose almost?
That's the line you want to follow with your
contour, because if that line was to continue down,
if we were to blend some powder into that,
it's really consistent, makes it look smoother, and it
makes the shadow look more natural.
The shadow we're trying to mimic from contour.
"I like cream blush, especially when you get a little older."
What's that one? "I'm going to take a little bit of this peach one.
This one I used on my last movie that I just did.
This brand is Beauty Blender.
And this one is Playful Peach.
So I take a little bit again with my foundation brush."
I love that.
I love how she is using, oh...
a stippling brush or duo fiber.
They're not really duo fibers anymore because they're
all artificial, but where it's denser in the bottom
and thinner on top, you're going to get
more of a natural application.
How soft she was just adding those little
pinches, little touches of product.
It's beautiful. Is she doing it on her chest?
"Just make sure your face matches your neck.
This is a Marc Jacobs highlighter
that I just become obsessed with.
So I take a very thin brush.
I would take my..." It's really nice to add,
I don't know if you've ever seen me
do what I call, like, my 3D
highlight technique, which isn't my technique.
I call it 3D highlight.
Where you have, like, your bigger highlight, and then you pinpoint
those tiny bits with an even brighter highlighter.
It makes it look like light is catching your skin,
even more so when you have beautiful, healthy skin.
"So I actually learned this trick for my lips from TikTok
or Instagram reels or one of those things.
They do a little line down here.
This is a Makeup Forever pencil. I'm obsessed.
It's my new fave.
And then do the same thing.
A little line right here.
I really like these Fenty beauty lip
glosses, but it's like this peachy color.
Now if I feel like the rest of my
face is a little pale because sometimes it's darker
and sometimes it's paler, I'll take the lighter pink one.
And I get my Anatasia pencil.
We all have imperfections in our eyebrows that we have
to fill in, so I'm going to fill in...
I had a chickenpox right here back in the day, but
this eyebrow kind of stops shorter than the other one.
So I just bring that out a bit.
JLo glow look.
And then to finish it off,
I take the finishing touch,
Makeup Forever.
I forgot my mascara.
This is the most important part.
Now, I can do a five minute version of this for
you guys one day, but maybe I'll save that for when
I come out with my makeup line.
With the skin from here down, I mean, I couldn't be more glowy right now.
Thank you.
I love you guys.
Have the most amazing day.
Remember, I am magnificent, and my life is
full of joy, laughter, adventure, and love.
Success and prosperity, too.
Put it all in there."
That was nice.
That was really good.
Her lips, that was stunning.
That whole lip thing.
When she said, I got
this from TikTok, I was like, oh, my God. What's she going to do?
Really, really, really nice.
I don't know what else to say.
Some beautiful, beautiful techniques.
It makes me want to try...
I'm so oily, though.
It makes me want to try, like, a really
glowy look, but I'm so greasy and so textured.
You know, I can't say that when I don't actually
take care of my skin, I should.
I've been inspired to look after
my skin, not with her products.
And it's great to see that she's learned from
some great makeup artists, and implements those things
into her routine, and what a difference it makes.
I think you can definitely see the difference between
people who have their makeup done by loads of
different people and get all these little tips.
It makes such a great concoction of knowledge.
And people who just stick to their own
thing, you can always see a difference there.
Okay, well thank you so much for joining me.
I would love to know your
opinion on her makeup down below.
Do consider subscribing.
Give this video a thumbs up, and
I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
