Jennifer Lopez Goes Makeup-Free as She Gets Emotional Over Becoming an Empty Nester: Watch

Jennifer Lopez ditched her signature glam while giving fans a candid glimpse at her life as a new empty nester.

The 57-year-old singer and actress appeared completely makeup-free in a video shared Friday, September 25, showing off her glowing complexion as she walked followers through her skincare routine.

But the beauty tutorial quickly turned emotional as Lopez admitted she's been "crying" since her 18-year-old twins left home for college.

Lopez went bare-faced for the video as she applied different products from her JLo Beauty skincare routine.

The "On the Floor" singer wore a lime green silk slip with white lace detailing as she spoke directly to the camera without her usual red carpet makeup.

"I was just about to start my skincare routine," Lopez explained, revealing that the simple ritual had her thinking about how important routines have become during this major transition in her life.

The superstar also noted that a busy summer of traveling had "wreaked havoc" on both her skin and body.

While applying her skincare, Lopez got candid about the emotional reality of her children leaving for college.

She admitted she's been sitting at home "crying," thinking about her kids and looking through their baby photos now that they're no longer right down the hall.

Despite struggling with the adjustment, Lopez stressed that she's excited to watch her children enter a new phase of their lives.

The singer shares her 18-year-old twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Lopez explained that taking care of herself has become particularly important now that her daily life looks different.

Working out, completing her skincare routine and prioritizing self-care are among the rituals she said will help keep her "kind of sane" as she adjusts to having more space and time for herself.

Lopez encouraged other parents experiencing the same transition to maintain their own routines while recognizing that sending children to college marks a new beginning for parents, too.

She suggested the newfound free time could even provide an opportunity to revisit dreams or hobbies that were put aside while raising children.

Before sending her kids off to school, Lopez made sure they had plenty of time together,

The trio spent part of the summer traveling through Italy, with Lopez documenting the getaway on social media and calling it a road trip with her "coconuts" before college.

The vacation followed an emotional graduation season for the family, during which Lopez attended her children's separate high school ceremonies.

Now, the Office Romance star is adjusting to a much quieter home while embracing what she described as a "new era" for both her children and herself.
