She looks like a Mestiza of relatively distant African heritage.
She was prettier when she was in the movie “Selena”.
she looks like she has white, black and native american to me
Exactly. Most Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, etc. are.
her eyes are not green, they are brown, she wears a lot of hazel colored contacts, wth runs this website?
correction; her eyes are forest green (green w brown) they’re not brown and they’re not hazel, nor does she wear contacts to make her eyes look green. There is no fact behind what you just said that is your theory because you’re too ignorant to believe a mixed race latino could have light eyes. Her eyes have never changed colour, nor are they too bright or unrealistic and they are most definitely not odd on someone of her ancestry, sofia vergara’s are similar;

Next time you’re going to contest someones eye colour and say it’s contacts because your an ignorant sceptical person, how about doing some research first and providing some proof.
She doesn’t have a hint of green in her eyes. I’ve just looked at your links. There is no such colour as forest green anyway. Her eyes are brown.
Her natural colour is brown. She has hazel contacts in the pictures above. You can see her natural colour here.

@ J.J. you seem to make it a habit of calling people ignorant that disagree with you. Personally I don’t see why this site has to list eye and hair colour as it’s main focus is ethnicity. Also with celebrities they dye their hair and alot like J Lo wear contacts.
correction; she does not wear contacts her eyes are naturally forest green (green w brown), her eyes look perfectly natural and until it becomes a fact that her eyes are contacts this website shouldn’t listen to sceptics.
It is nothing to do with being a sceptic. Jennifer obviously wears contact lenses and has changed her eye colour from hazel to green contacts in the past. In fact you will find it very hard to find a picture of her where she is not wearing contacts. Only her older pictures show her with her natural colour eyes. Here is a site of when she was young and she has dark brown eyes. There are also pictures of her as an adult with dark brown eyes. You just don’t like being corrected.

no you just seem to disagree with all my corrections, I know contacts when I see them, Jennifer lopez does not wear contacts, why is it so hard for you to believe her eyes are naturally forest green (green w brown) she has never stated she wears contacts and those pictures of her as a little girl look vaguely like her and appear quite blurry with dull colour. Jennifer Lopez eye colour does not seem fake nor is it an improbable eye colour for someone of her ancestry, until a clear large photo appears of Jennifer lopez with brown eyes her eyes should be listed as forest green (green w brown)
Jennifer wears contacts all the time. Here is a younger picture of her where she has darker eyes than the picture above. As I’ve said previously a lot of people in the entertainment industry don’t have their natural hair colour and some wear lenses so it is a bit difficult to put their hair and eye colour. Also someone’s eye classifications can be subjective. A proper eye classification should be used. Even with the contacts there is no green in the picture above.

If you have the time look through the pics on this site and see Jennifer’s many different colour of eyes.

TheInsider.com: Clear this up. Does Jennifer actually wear colored contacts?
Evelyn Lozada: Jennifer will only take those things out when she goes to sleep. In ten years I have rarely seen her without contacts [Laughs].

Just give you Alice that dude is in denial
“you’re too ignorant to believe a mixed race latino could have light eyes”. Really? Lets get something straight, When the hell did I ever say Jennifer couldn’t possibly have light eyes cause she is a “mixed race latino”. Never. Putting words in my mouth. Secondly, you need not call me ignorant as I am 100% PUERTO RICAN (Boricua!) and I know all too well that a “mixed race latino” can have light eyes, blue, green, whatever as I see it all the time in my family. Your the ignorant one for assuming that I came to my opinion based on what race she is. I looked at pics just like you did and to me they look brown, Light Brown, honey brown, her eyes have central heterochromia giving them a lighter appearance, call them whatever u want, clearly what u think overrules, they’re purple for all I care. U don’t need to call everyone stupid and ignorant because they have a different opinion. U don’t have any proof that she DOESNT wear contacts, just your word that “u know contacts when u see them”. I’m going to take time and be my ignorant self and assume u must be colorblind cuz clearly u have no idea what forest green eyes look like, in the meantime I’ll be waiting for a response that’s laced with your ignorance. now I know who runs this site, awesome.
correct, her eyes do contain central heterochromia however the true colour of the iris is the outer colour and her outer colour is green as far as I’m concerned, there is a significant amount of brown around the pupil, covering about 50% and it is quite a dark brown. But that being said they look quite real, contacts are usually very easily to spot even if they are multi-coloured. I’ll just point out if someone is going to wear contacts they’ll chose colours that look significantly light like more solidly green/blue not dark brown contacts with green edging. Her eyes look very real and they’re quite identical to that of Jessica simpson and Kelly Clarkson. Do both Jessica simpson and Kelly clarkson wear coloured contacts?
People wear hazel contacts all the time. They are more subtle and not as obvious for people with dark eyes. They give the eyes a lift. It is very common for celebrities.
Here is another pic of Jennifer with dark brown eyes.

alice, I can see you’re very passionate on the fact that she wears contacts along with many other celebrities and I would really like to believe you, but I’ve researched eye colours for years and I just cannot take in the fact that Jennifer’s are fake they look very real, the greens quite khaki and the brown is quite dark not to mention the brown scatters rays throughout the green, they just look so perfectly real and if they weren’t real I don’t see why any one would bother putting contacts in of that colour, I mean most of the time her eyes look hazel/brown, the green in them is usually hard to see, if someone were to wear contacts they’d wear something abit more striking and obviously light. Now the pictures you give of her with brown eyes do look somewhat convincing however none are very clear nor large and if you look closely you can still see some obviously light colouration shining around the edges. I’m really sorry alice but I just cannot agree on this matter, not saying you’re wrong and not saying it’s definite her forest green eye colour is natural but from my best judgement I chose to believe her eye colour is real
i’m not arguing that she is wearing contacts in this particular picture, they do indeed look natural to me; again in this pic. However, to me they still look like a light brown. I just wouldn’t call her eye color green, I guess we agree to disagree.

Another pic of her with dark brown eyes.
She does wear contacts definitely. It is quite obvious if you do a google search and look at her pics. People with dark brown eyes often use those colour lens because they look so natural. The lighter colours are a lot more obvious on dark eyed people.
well once again that picture contains faint khaki green colouration around the edges, the picture just has a darker contrast
here are some pictures of hazel contacts

the colour is quite bright, unrealistic and easily identifiable as fake, none of which compare or resemble Jennifer lopez eyes in the least, if Jennifer lopez eyes are contacts they’re amazingly accurate, it would seem as if they’ve copied the colouration of a particularly persons eyes exactly and created perfect looking contacts
You can get a lot more realistic contacts than that. Also people with money get custom made contacts which look very good.

In bright lighting like this pic her eyes look more hazel to me.
In regular or dark lighting they look dark brown, but I don’t believe J.lo is wearing contacts.
I guess people aren’t going to agree on this but I bet you anything she does. Even in that pic you can see the dark brown around the pupil and it is a perfect circle. All her pictures of when she was young she had dark brown eyes and there are some when she was a young woman. Eyes don’t change to that extent even accounting for lighting. But people are entitled to their opinion.
She’s beautiful,but she’s arrogant.
Hey bitch, it takes one to know one.
And how the hell do you know she’s arrogant? She’s a performer, she has to put on a show. Do you know her personaly? Have even spent three hours with her? So how the hell do you know she’s arrogant? So shut up. :D
HOW THE FUVK YOU KNOW!YOU DONT KNOW HER PERSONALLY EITHER JACKASS.GTFO DICK RIDER.
That last comment made no sense, you just admitted to not knowing her, so why don’t you just admit that you were wrong.
