American Music Awards Beauty Roundup

American Music Awards Beauty Roundup
I know I say the same thing after every awards show...but I think I am officially declaring...HOLLYWOOD IS IN A BEAUTY RUT! Honestly, I'm tired of writing the same thing week after week, month after month: "Ohh Nude Lips"..."Wow, Mermaid Waves"..."Oooh Lashes"..."Genius...Cat Eyeliner...Who knew???"
 
Sure, there were some pretty looks last night, but I tend to find music show looks to lack a little...umm...refinement. "Heavy-handed Pretty" seemed to be the trend of the night. With that being said, there were plenty of frightful things happening on the red carpet, too....Christina Applegate, you are now the 3,457th celebrity to copy that Posh bob...Avril, that pink stripe in your hair is exhausting...Ashanti, please NEVER allow your makeup artist to underline your eyes with yellow eyeliner! Eek.

So, as you are probably sensing from my ramblings...I found the beauty-stakeout at last night's AMA's to be a rip-roaring snoozefest...as as opposed to faking my way through picking a look of the night...I'm going to let you guys do it...What did you love? What did you hate? Who looked best? Let us know in the comments.

Alicia Keys, America Ferrera, and Carrie Underwood looked great. And is that Vanessa Hudgens? Big fan, despite the booby shots. Beyonce's makeup actually pisses me off a bit, because I can always - ALWAYS, now - see her concealer. Am I the only one that noticed? It drives me insane, because she looks so damn washed out. So for me, its right down to America and Alicia.

I have to say that this may be the prettiest I've seen the Ferg.

I agree that most looks were pretty safe and boring. Avril's pink streak has got to go (she's not fooling anyone with her goth/punk image); Ashanti's yellow eyeliner makes her look ill; Mary J. Blige's lip liner is way too dark for her lip color and Rihanna's hair is just begging to be wipped off her face. On a brighter note, I did like Beyonce's jewel toned eyeshadow and despite it looking extremely simple and natural, Vanessa's makeup looks fresh and age appropriate. Hopefully the next red carpet event will bring us more modern, interesting looks.

“I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.” - Coco Chanel

Yes baby...one big fat snore. Everyone was nude and shimmery no contrast, no color except for Avril's pink stripe which is getting to be a little what?? Boring. www.themakeupgirlblog.com

No one really had a different look going on or anything, and most didn't even look good. However I'll always be a fan of Avril's pink hair and black eyes. Beyonce looked good too and same with "That Chick Down the Bottom". :-P

I agree. Nobody looks glowing, some even look a little ashy in the face.

I definitely am not wowed by any of the looks. They're all just very safe and very predictable.

Ashanti looked really scary...my god woman..please never do whatever was going on last night again! I actually really liked Beyonce's blue eye shadow - it looks fresh on her. And completely suprising, I loved Avril's eye makeup too! I think this is the best she has looked in a long time.
