Jennifer Lopez recently premiered her latest single, "In the Morning," and like most J.Lo productions, the accompanying music video is a must-see. Not only does Lopez look amazing in the new visuals, but she also shows off a slew of striking, out-of-this-world beauty looks as she sings the sentimental lyrics.

As for her otherworldly costumes, Lopez appears in a series of ensembles that includes a structural, armor-inspired dress and an intricate bead-embellished gown; she even appears in the buff, posing as a glowing fallen angel. Lopez's jaw-dropping Valentino couture coat and crystal-embellished face cage, which she wore during her headlining performance for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, also makes a repeat appearance.

But the real standout from the video is Lopez's makeup, which was carefully crafted by celebrity makeup artist David Velasquez, who has also worked with star musicians such as Doja Cat, Kali Uchis, Rico Nasty, and more.

Below, Velasquez walks us through how he created some of the standout looks from "In the Morning," including Lopez's punchy eye makeup, her glittery shadows, and, of course, how he re-created the singer's iconic and trademark glossy nude lip.

We're used to seeing J.Lo in full glam, but never on quite this level. Where did you and Lopez take inspiration from for these otherworldly looks?

I've always loved a signature J.Lo glow, so she truly was my inspiration for this project. I really wanted to pay homage to her past iconic looks such as the gorgeous purple eyeshadow from "Ain't It Funny" and the angel wings in her photograph by Tony Duran in 1999. Our goal was to pull from that inspiration and bring those looks to life in this music video—but with a more edgy, editorial feel. I was also inspired by Jora Frantzis's direction for the story and the ethereal elements that she envisioned.

How did the makeup for each look correspond to the "characters" that Lopez portrays in the music video?

There is a lot of beautiful contrast between the soft and the edgy in this music video, so I wanted to make sure that the makeup was an extension of that. For example, when she is floating in the water: I was really inspired by the color of the waves and wanted to make sure that essence was present in the makeup. For the angel: I brought in shimmer to amplify the dreaminess of the moment. Then, I brought in bold, darker colors to showcase the growth of the strong characters she was portraying.

The eye makeup in the video specifically is so beautifully vibrant, punchy, and glittery. What products did you use to achieve these standout looks?

For the Mermaid look, my assistant Josie Melano and I used an original mix of light pink shimmer pressed powder, Cammy Nguyen liquid eyeliner, and DUO eyelash adhesive to add Swarovski crystals to the graphic eye. I also used Chanel Beauty foundation, Dior Beauty highlights, and Isabel Alysa for her tan.

My personal favorite was the bold makeup behind the diamond-encrusted headpiece. I needed to create a look that would really pop: I used ColourPop's black lip pencil, Makeup Forever's Liquid Matte, Jeffree Star’s Blood Sugar Palette, and Fenty’s Trophy Wife for the golden shimmer on her eyelids.

Which look was the most time consuming? And around how long did each look take to bring to life?

I'm pretty good with timing when it comes to music videos, so I try to stay within the 40- to 60-minute time bracket. If I had to pick a look that was the most intricate, I would say the Mermaid look because of the layering that needed to be done. In addition to full face makeup, we added diamond embellishments to the top and bottom lashes.

Though Lopez tries a bunch of new makeup looks for the video, her signature nude lip still makes an appearance. Tell us what you used to achieve that perfect nude-hued pout.

Jennifer's nude lip is iconic—I'm so glad I was able to create my own version of it. I used a Pat McGrath lip pencil, Artist Couture’s Angel Baby lipstick, and Scott Barnes's XXX gloss to top it off.
