My take on J-Lo's Into You Video look

Hi Beauties,

So if you haven't seen J-Lo's new video for her latest song "Into You" Click here to watch it J Lo. I must admit that I've always been a fan of her style. She has the best skin in the business. After seeing how her skin was glowing in this video I started taking my fish oil tabs again ( Omega 3 fatty acids great for your skin).  I love the styling in the video too. It was like modern  twist on a tropical aztec look. Three things about her makeup that should out to me:
1. Glowing Skin- bronzed and highlighted
2. Dramatic Smokey eyes
3. Sexy Nude lips

 So I went out with my girls on Friday and decided to put my own twist on her look.







For the look:
Eyes: MAC Pigment in Gold Stroke (pale gold) and Bronze( for the outer v)

L'oreal Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner in Black ( used an angle brush to draw the line in the crease)
Maybelline the Colossal Volume Express in Glam Black

Face: Luminess Airbrush Makeup in 7 (will do a post on the air brush system later)

Cheeks: Quo baked bronzer and Black Radiance Mosaic

Lips: Covergirl Queen Collection lipstick in Au Naturale

I have so many more looks to post like my version of rihanna's who that chick video look.  I just need to find the time. Stay tuned for more and stay beautiful.


P.S. most of the pics are taken with my black berry cam cus I hate to walk around with my camera. I am thinking of doing a video though. Finally!!!
