What Jennifer Lopez Really Looks Like Underneath All That Makeup

Looking at Jennifer Lopez's newest bare-faced selfie, it's hard to believe she's 51. When she's on the red carpet, Jenny from the Block isn't afraid to slap on some serious makeup. She loves to rock a super smoky eye and a nude glossed lip. Fans are so used to seeing Lopez with a full face for work, it's hard to imagine what she looks like relaxing around the house. Normally, her schedule is jam-packed with acting, hosting, singing, dancing, and producing. But during quarantine with her kids and fiancé Alex Rodriguez, Lopez has taken the chance to let her hair down and show fans her more natural side. Recently, she posted a practically makeup free selfie to Instagram with the hashtag #morningface. She wore a cozy-looking white robe, with what looks like some eyeliner leftover from the night before. The post quickly accumulated over 2 million likes, with comments calling her, quote, "glowing." Other comments praised Lopez for being, quote, "real and beautiful," while others doubted whether Lopez had digitally enhanced her natural beauty. As unbelievable as Lopez's skin might look, she soon posted another video in her robe where she's also wearing little to no makeup. While she gushed about her excitement being back on set shooting a video, the morning sun showed off her smooth, blemish-free face. It's easy to envy how Lopez looks when she wakes up, but it turns out keeping her face looking wrinkle-free takes a lot of work. Jennifer Lopez hasn't been shy about sharing how she keeps her skin looking so incredible. First up: slather on the SPF. Lopez applies the same discipline to her diet that she does to her SPF. Lopez credits her skin's youthful glow with her habits of constantly drinking water and making sure to snack on plenty of fruits and vegetables. Of course, JLo's amazing skin doesn't just come from her healthy lifestyle. Naturally, there are skincare products involved. She told People that she loves glycolic acid to get her skin looking clear and healthy. She also washes off her makeup at night religiously. Not only is it good for her skin, all that sleep must be why she's been able to resist the siren call of caffeine. When Lopez is lounging at home, she might feel comfortable going bare-faced. However, when she's onstage, Lopez uses a seriously huge amount of products to match her major fashion and hair choices. In 2018, when Lopez was performing in her Las Vegas concert residency "All I Have," her longtime make-up artist, Scott Barnes, offered Allure a peek backstage at her dressing room. Lopez's vanity was laid out with dozens of make-up products and cups full of well-maintained brushes. Makes sense, since J-Lo's face has to shine under the bright lights of Vegas, and withstand dancing and costume changes. In fact, when Allure asked Barnes to break down Lopez's most essential products, he could only narrow it down to eleven. Lopez's taste in make-up ranges from eye-wateringly pricey to surprisingly wallet-friendly. Lopez is big on La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream, which costs $190. Proper moisturizing keeps make-up from settling into any creases through long wear. If La Mer isn't in the budget, you can still stay at Lopez's level with a popular lip salve which is a bargain at just $6. Lopez apparently lives for Rosebud Salve, made by Rosebud Perfume Co. The lip salve is a favorite among celebrities, including Nicky Hilton. Keep watching to see What Jennifer Lopez Really Looks Like Underneath All That Makeup! #JenniferLopez
