The Grammy winner then held a makeup brush to the camera before pulling it away to show off her shimmery, smoky eye, nude lip and gorgeous contour.

Jackson smiled and made silly faces post-makeover.

Mariah Carey commented, “Love you! ️”

Other social media users called Jackson “flawless and gorgeous” before the switch, with one writing that she hasn’t “aged one damn bit.”

One fan asked, “So not taking yourself too seriously must be the secret to not ageing, or you must have found the fountain of youth. Which one?”

Jackson, who often posts her epic makeup looks via Instagram, mostly keeps her only child, Eissa, off of social media platforms.

The music legend welcomed her son, now 5, in January 2017 when she was 50 years old.

“[She] had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably,” Jackson’s rep told Page Six at the time.

After splitting from husband Wissam Al Mana three months later, the dancer debuted her baby boy via Twitter, writing, “My baby and me after nap time.”

After giving birth, Jackson documented her weight loss, telling InStyle magazine in September 2018 that she dropped 30kg without “depriving” herself of anything.

“I remember growing up and being in this business … you had to be a certain size,” Jackson told the outlet at the time.

“You had to be thin to be an entertainer. Stupid crap like that,” the Miss You Much singer added. “I think it’s changed, thank God. People are more accepting of others.”
