Yesterday Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 49th birthday (and blessed us with some fierce AF holiday snaps showing her abs for days). Yes, you read that number right. Kind of unbelievable, considering she doesn't look a day over 30 — I mean, have you seen videos from her Vegas performance?! We'll take whatever potions she's using, please and thank you.

In honour of the star's big day, we decided to take a trip down beauty memory lane. Ahead, we highlight some of her best makeup and hair looks throughout her career. As you might expect, they only get better with time.

Click through to see how she evolved from a bare-faced '90s cutie to a glamorous, smoky-eyed diva. Happy birthday, J.Lo!
