Jennifer Lopez- I Luh Ya Papi Makeup Look

I've always had a little bit of a soft spot for J.Lo. Her first album "On the 6" was the first C.D. I ever bought as a little baby mexi-gay and I remember jamming out to that thing non stop every morning on the way to 1st grade. It was only fitting to make one of her looks my first beauty post. I decided to do my own interpretation of her makeup on the "I Luh Ya Papi" music video because it was a great example of J.Lo's always glamorous looks.

Terreno, J. (Director). (2014). I Luh Ya Papi[Vevo].Available March 13 2014.

I love the heavy contouring, big lashes, and a defined eye that were happening here. Also this look was practically a throw back to her iconic Versace dress from the 2000 Grammys. Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to have a throwback reference to herself in her own video right? So if you want to learn how to get this look and aren't afraid of a lot of makeup then keep reading!

         
                                                                                                                                                  

My Jumpsuit Obsession

Ok confession time. I'm obsessed with jumpsuits, there I said it. I don't know if it's my inner drag queen coming out or just my obsession with old school disco divas, but I love them. I seriously walk around saying " I need someone to have a jumpsuit moment" every five minutes. So when I saw these Saint Laurent and Givenchy tuxedo jumpsuits that incorporated both jumpsuits, AND the menswear trend  I YAAAAAAS'ed so loud that I'm pretty sure only dogs could hear it.

Buy Saint Laurent Tuxedo Jumpsuit $3,850

         

     Buy Givenchy Tuxedo Jumpsuit $2,575

I love the long sleeves and strong shoulders of the Saint Laurent suit as well as the pleating down the pant leg on both it and the Givenchy suit. The price however made me want to cry. Then Ann Taylor  and BCBG had to go and give me my entire life and then some when I saw this...

Buy Ann Taylor Jumpsuit $149.99

Buy BCBGeneration Jumpsuit $138.00

Both of these are AMAZING! Not only that but they are a fraction of the price. The higher waist on the Ann Taylor suit is so flattering and I love that the BCGeneration suit has really pronounced pleating on the pants. So can someone please go buy all of these and have a jumpsuit moment so I can live vicariously through your fabulousness?

I love the way the knit sweater looks with a sleek pencil skirt, its so chic and put together while still looking effortless. If you have a spare $1400 laying around go ahead and splurge BUT I found 2 pieces that will give you that same effortless look for much less!

Buy River Island Skirt

This skirt from River Island is only $44 and is that same powder blue color! 

Buy Mango Knit Sweater

And this sweater from Mango is only $59.99! Just tuck the sweater into the skirt and slip on your favorite pair of heeled boots like they did at Altuzarra or even a pointed toe nude pump would look great with this. You would have a show stopping outfit for the office and pastels are a great way to change up the usual drab color palette of fall.
