As one of our generation’s top beauty icons, Jennifer Lopez has quite the beauty look back-catalogue. You’d think rounding up her top moments would be a breeze, right?
Wrong – solely because there are simply so many standouts to choose from. She never puts a (perfectly pedicured) toe out of line, always styling her hair and makeup to absolute perfection, no matter the era.
And hey, if Bennifer can come back in 2021, maybe silver shadow can, too (yes, you better believe J.Lo has rocked it – multiple times).
Ready for all the past, present and future inspiration you could ever need? Here are J.Lo’s most incredible beauty looks, from 1995 to now…

1995
Nothing says ‘90s like a cappuccino nude lip, right? Of course, Jennifer pulled it off like a pro – we don’t think she’s ever met a neutral lip she didn’t like.
1996
We may know her for her beautiful bronde now, but back in 1996, Jen was all about a deep brunette shade and natural curls.
1997
We love J.Lo with any hair colour, but something about this smooth-textured updo and mauve lip combo works especially well with her chocolate hue.
1998
Well, hell, was it even 1998 if you didn’t rock a frosted lip, silver shadow and a half-up, half-down ‘do with tendrils?
1999
Something about these flyaway-free blunt ends screams ‘call your hairdresser for a trim immediately’, huh? So fresh, so sharp, so satisfying.
2000
The dress may have caused the biggest commotion (yes, this is the iconic Versace number), but we think the matching shadow deserves a shoutout, too.
2001
If you can pull off a sleek side-parted bun and a magenta flower hair accessory like Jennifer, then why on earth wouldn’t you rock it?
2002
The next year she went from sleek to sky-high, pairing her caramel-coloured tonal makeup with lots of volume and lots of curls.
2003
Jen really said “let’s get loud” with this eye and lip combo. Bright coral gloss is a statement even solo, but if you look closely, there’s also a little emerald eye action.
2004
Hello, fringe! She may have returned to her signature neutrals the following year, but the new set of bangs made sure 2004 offered a new aesthetic altogether.
2005
Is it nude gloss? Is it a take on concealer lips? Hard to tell. What’s crystal clear, however, is that Jenny from the Block can work a beehive. Not easy.
2006
J.Lo was serving some serious Old Hollywood glamour in 2006 with side-swept vintage-inspired curls and rosy makeup shades.
2007
She was also the picture of a polished pinup girl the following year, matching her coffee-toned hair hue to her smokey cappuccino shadow.
2008
J.Lo’s centre-parted waves are practically as iconic as she is, and 2008 offered one of the first glimpses of her showing them off.
2009
She did take a brief detour back to fringe town in 2009, though, pairing her shaggier style with fluffy lashes and a pinky-nude lip.
2010
Bright red lippy isn’t something Jennifer embraces often, but when she does it’s definitely a moment. This neon candy apple colour is stunning against her skin.
2011
No, she didn’t leave silver shadow in 1998; it was alive, well and pairing perfectly with a silver-toned hair barrette in 2011.
2012
Another lip colour that only makes rare appearances? Plum. We don’t know why, though; this burgundy lacquer is beautiful on her, especially teamed with glitzy gold shades.
2013
Nobody does neutrals quite like J.Lo, whether they’re warm-toned like this honey lip or cool like her elephant grey smokey shadow.
2014
Damn, does this woman do a bouffant blowout well. We couldn’t help but notice that her brows have also come a long way since ’95.
2015
A pastel pout is a bold beauty choice, but when it works, it really works. We love that she kept the hair simple and swept back to let the makeup have its moment.
2016
Another rare red lip sighting, this time of the glossy lacquered variety. FYI, consider this confirmation that red lips do complement bright colours (yep, even yellow).
2017
Swishy ponytail? Check. Statement lashes? Check. Nude gloss? Double check. This is a classic J.Lo look if we’ve ever seen one.
2018
2018 definitely saw the brightest blonde she’d embraced in a few years, and we’re giant fans of this centre-parted straight style.
2019
Sometimes, of course, Jennifer favours volume over length in the hair game, opting for bouncy shoulder-grazing curls instead of long mermaid locks.
2020
Um, is there a petition for J.Lo to teach a topknot-wearing class? She just does it with such style. And not that her cheekbones need any lifting, but wow, do they look sharp.
2021
It’s hard to top her number one classic, though. If bronde wavy blowouts and bronze-y makeup is wrong, we don’t want to be right.
2022
Just when we thought we preferred JLo’s hair down, she goes and rocks her best updo to date. Oh and the lips? A strong liner paired with a gloss is a winning combination.
2022
Which do you enjoy more about a Jennifer Lopez film: the actual movie or all the beauty looks that come with it? After seeing this waist-length mermaid hair from her latest movie, Marry Me, we’re tempted to say the latter..

What’s your favourite J.Lo beauty look?
I feel like she hasn’t really aged! She is stunning.
I love her retro look from 2009 & her 2020 top knot! I don't like the nude lip look.
She has aged well
Jennifer Lopez has so many changes in her Makeup and Hair Styles throughout the years, she looks better with blonde highlights in her hair and neutral coloured Makeup, it seems to suit her and she looks after her lovely Skin as well.
I loved the curly hair the most as well.
So many gorgeous looks!
Loved the 1995 curly locked look.
She has tried so many different looks and pulled them off.
That lip gloss in the 2003 photo is unreal! Wish I knew what it was. I love it!
Beautiful woman any hairstyle suits her.
Id love to know what skincare she uses.
My favs are 2013 & 2019.
Is it me or does her chin change shape in some of these photos?
Sleek and straight hair my faves. 2002…errr no. She looks better with time. 51 and glorious. No "plastics" on the face. 2012 lip colour suits her best.
Agreed – noo ageing is in sight!
My fave hair (and photo) is the 2013 one.
So many different looks, she always looks good.
I'm just assuming but I doubt she would be using her own line J.Lo Beauty.
The photo at the top with the 3 photos of J.Lo, the one on the left with the dark hair she reminds me of Rihanna there.
I don’t really have a ‘favourite’ look. I would definitely agree with others that she has not aged at all.
She did not age at all
She's doing so well, she looks amazing
I had read somewhere that she was seeing Ben Affleck again. Some of the early photos don’t even look like her. It’s hard to believe she is 51.
Ahhh she's gorgeous!
I feel like she hasnt aged all year. Beautiful throughout all the year.
I think I like her neutral look from 2013 the best. She's just a stunner!
JLo looks fantastic and all hair styles suit her!
She hasn’t aged a bit
I like her 2012 look, especially that lipstick.
She's looked like a different person sometimes
According to the tongue in cheek Instagram posts I’ve seen it’s olive oil. Of course there is some Botox and filler in the later years.
She has aged very well, she looks fab!
She certainly has had some fabulous looks over the years but I particularly liked her look in 1997 as she looked very natural and a little "girl next door." Oh and silver eyeshadow is welcome back anytime!
She is an amazing performer too.
So lovely. Maid in Manhatten is my favoutite movie
She's truly timeless!!!
She is beautiful always and well maintained her skin.
Jennifer Lopez paid her makeup artist/ Cosmetic surgeon, very well and took good care of her skin so she got rewarded however I don't believe the olive oil thing one bit.
She looks so much better with lighter hair
I think that she looks better with darker hair as it is more flattering with her skin.
I think she has really aged well and has gotten better with age.
She obviously loves looking after her skin – it's showing!
She can rock any look. Love how her style is so versatile
She always looks great.
I agree with others, she does look amazing for her age.
