14 Best beauty looks from the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards

This year’s MTV Awards, hosted in Santa Monica, California featured the cast of hit shows Riverdale, 13 Reasons Why, and Stranger Things, as well as red-carpet veterans such as Kim Kardashian, Kristen Bell, and Olivia Munn.

The MTV Awards, known for its fun (and rather lax) “rules” regarding red carpet looks, is always an opportunity for celebrities to bring out their less refined, less couture-defined side. It is also a great place to get your summer makeup inspo, with so many celebrities donning beachy waves, slicked-back hair, and subtle pops of color on their eyes!

This year, we saw looks that veered on drastic opposite ends of the makeup spectrum. On one hand, we had the big, the bold, and the bright – as seen from Yara Shahidi’s shimmery blue cut crease, Katherine Langford’s navy, razor-sharp cat eye, and Vanessa Morgan’s dark red shadow. Other celebrities however opted for more muted, every day looks. Alisha Boe chose to go with a “barely-there” eye look with a nude pink lip, while Amandla Stenberg went for a subtle burgundy shadow and lips look.
