Get Jennifer Lopez AMAs looks: Here’s the makeup step-by-step

Jennifer López raised the bar several notches with her looks as the host of 2015's American Music Awards. The Latina superstar not only rocked 10 different outfits, but she also changed her hair and the makeup each time. It was a trully epic night for her, starting with her opening number. I confess to have already looked for tickets to her show in Vegas and feel eternally grateful to L'Oréal Paris hair, makeup and nail maestros. Here are the products they used!

Mary Phillips for L’Oréal  Paris explains the concept of the makeup:

I really wanted to pay homage to "The Glow," but a more amped up version. It's one of those land mark, quintessential J.Lo makeup pillars, and while the opening act was all about the hottest songs, we just wanted to open with one of her hottest looks that her audience seems to love: The Glow, the bronze, the rich nudes, the highlighting!
