Billboard Music Awards 2018: Best Hair and Makeup Red Carpet Looks
The 2018 Billboard Music Awards may be one of the most important nights of the year for music (and just like you, we cannot wait to see Christina Aguilera and Demi Lovato perform "Fall in Line" in front of an audience for the first time) but it also happens to be a big night for beauty.
Some of our favorite singers and songwriters hit the red carpet in Las Vegas on Sunday night rocking statement-making hair and hair and makeup, serving up some serious inspiration for summer. Dua Lipa's slicked-back bob, Justine Skye's heavy metals, and Normani's blown out natural curls are all looks we fully plan on copying in the coming summer months.
With so many stunning styles, it's near impossible to pick a favorite. Scroll through to see some of what we're loving at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, and get ready to want to wear a lot of metallic eyeshadow and ultra-glossy lips for the foreseeable future.
Frazer Harrison1/13Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa's brunette bob was slicked into a severe side-part, framing her face perfectly. For makeup, she opted for purple metallic eyeshadow and an overstated cat-eye. Her lips were glossed with a sheer pink, which got us even more excited for her "One Kiss" performance with Calvin Harris later in the night.
Jon Kopaloff2/13Justine Skye
It was all metallic everything, for Justine Skye, who matched her bronze and silver shadow to the beaded detailing on her Amen dress. Her signature purple streaks were pulled into a sleek half ponytail, and her lips were painted with an ultra-shiny gloss.
John Shearer3/13Grace Vanderwaal
Grace Vanderwaal rocked massive barrel curls with her chic pantsuit, and swiped her eyes with maroon metallic shadow.
John Shearer4/13Normani
Normani was a #flawless example of how to wear an up-do while still putting your curls on full display, care of her high ponytail.
Frazer Harrison5/13Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato's performance with Christina Aguilera isn't the only thing that has us freaking out tonight. The "Tell Me You Love Me" singer wore her long locks gelled into massive volume at the crown, and accessorized her golden lids with a set of XL lashes.
Matt Winkelmeyer6/13Alyson Stoner
The purple trend continued on the red carpet, care of Alyson Stoner, who coordinated her suit with some vibrant violet eyeliner along the lower lash line.
John Shearer7/13Chloe Kim
Olympian Chloe Kim brought a pop of color to her black-and-white dress with a striking red lip, and showed of the dimension of her blond highlights with ultra-glam waves.
Frazer Harrison8/13Camilla Cabello
Camilla Cabello gave us updo inspo for days, thanks to a low chignon worn at the nape of her neck. Eyebrow-grazing bangs, a soft smoky eye, and nude lips completed her look.
Frazer Harrison9/13Kesha
Okay, Kesha! The "Praying" singer hit the red carpet with super-long blond waves, brushed-up brows, and glowy nude makeup.
Frazer Harrison10/13Hailey Baldwin
Hailey Baldwin's pink Met Gala hair may be gone, but her BBMA's look is just as noteworthy. She chopped her locks into a blonde bob, which she wore with neutral eyes and lips and a plunging, statement-making gold gown.
Frazer Harrison11/13Halsey
Halsey's BBMA's look is giving us serious "Dark Betty" vibes, and took a major beauty risk with super-long brunette waves — worn in a ponytail — and ruby red eye shadow.
Frazer Harrison12/13Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift — nominated for five awards this evening — hit the BBMA red carpet in a romantic, tousled updo, and berry-pink lipstick.
