40 year old Jennifer Lopez has aged flawlessly – some of it is genetics and some of it is the advantage of being rich and famous and having the best products at your fingertips.

Jen’s trick for creating a youthful look is to wear a pale lip with a hint of shimmer, which makes your lips look fuller and more sexy.

Jen makes sure her makeup is never overdone, which ages her. She’ll usually opt for dramatic eyes and nude lips.

Her flawless skin is also key to looking young, Jen always wears bronzer and creates a dewy complexion with shimmers.

The Hills Kristen Cavallari and Jennifer Lopez both showed up the MTV VMA’s this year wearing the same thing – their faux ponytails of course! Jennifer and Kristen added at least 18″ of luxurious hair by attaching a faux extension.

You can get the same glam look with a HairDo Wrap Around Ponytail (endorsed by Jessica Simpson). Start by slicking back your hair with gel and tie your hair into a regular ponytail. Next, wrap the extension around the base of your own ponytail and connect the velcro ends.

Jennifer Lopez showed off her new gold jeweled manicure she got while in Japan. The manicure was created with gold gel overlays encrusted with stones and glitter. JLo used Calgel USA gel overlays – which must be applied by a salon professional. To find a salon near you call 888-428-4357. The cost runs about $50 – $100 and it lasts about 3 weeks.
