So if you’re in need of yet another knockout costume idea, why not consider going as the Latina queen this year.

Step 1:
Start with a base foundation and concealer. Contour the cheekbones and jaws and then lightly contour the temple, forehead and neck. Use a highlighter to dust the top of the cheekbones and the tip of the nose.

Step 2:
To create JLo’s button nose, use the same contour powder with a smaller brush and contour above the tip of the nose and down both sides of the bridge of the nose.

Step 4:
Apply a base shadow in a shimmery bone colour from the lash line to the brow. Then fill in the brow with a medium brown shadow – apply above your natural brow to achieve her thickness and extend it longer than the natural brow.

Step 5:
Apply a shimmery bronze all over the lid and blend it into the crease for JLo’s natural bronze smoky eye. Apply the same colour beneath the eye with a small angle brush. Then work a black kohl liner on the inside rim of the bottom eye and taper the liner on the top into a cat eye for her dramatic eye shape.

Step 6:
Lashes make the look – apply latex glue along the rim of the false lash and press into place using fingers and tweezers. Feel free to apply a little more liner once the glue has dried to maintain the intensity of the black colour.

Step 8:
For JLo’s nude, pouty lip, fill in the lip with a highlighter powder to create a long wear and fuller appearance. Use a nude pencil to enhance the shape and fill it in with a nude peach lip colour and a touch of concealer. Finish by blotting and blending with clear lip gloss.

Step 9:
A lace front wig with JLo’s current dark root and long blonde layers was put on to pull the whole look together. No bobby pins are needed since the wig has combs inside. The best and most affordable lace front wigs come from Mikah Styles.
