It was a special night for this year's Icon of a Generation, Jennifer Lopez. On Sunday, June 5, the actor slash singer received the highest honor one can acquire at the annual MTV Movie & TV Awards. To commence the special occasion, she walked both the red carpet and stage with an eye makeup look that simply shouts "I am an icon."

Blended to perfection, makeup artist Mary Phillips chose the perfect hues to highlight the winner's naturally light brown eyes. For the eye shadow, various iterations of the Pat McGrath Labs Mothership palette came into play. Phillips gave Instagram the load-down of how this look came about. The custom cocktail of shades used to create this eyeshadow look included both the Mothership I: Subliminal Palette and the Mothership VI: Midnight Sun Palette. 

The secret behind her voluminous lashes? A 2019 Best of Beauty award winner, the Tweezerman ProMaster Lash Curler [Phillips is a paid partner of the brand].
