Bold beauty looks from the 2018 American Music Awards

Tuesday night's American Music Awards in Los Angeles pulled in some of the strongest red carpet beauty looks we have seen in a long time.


We break down the highlights.

Cardi B

Rapper Cardi B stole the show with a very on-trend floral-themed headpiece. Flowers were major hair accessories during the Spring/Summer 2019 fashion shows, with Rodarte and Bora Aksu championing the look. A bold red lip and theatrical winged eyeliner kept Cardi’s approach melodramatic.

Ciara

Singer Ciara also made her hair the focal point of her look, debuting a tumbling mass of beautiful curls that reached her lower back. Caramel highlights softened the look and gelled perfectly with her nude makeup and glossy, neutral lip.

Amber Heard

Actress Amber Heard played it smoothly with a sleek look that featured a gelled quiff hairstyle and lashings of rockstar-friendly black eyeliner. A slick of coral lipstick kept the look summery.

Halsey

Halsey looked playful and feminine with a rosy pink buzzcut and lightly feathered bangs. A frosted pink lipstick and a metallic blue eyeshadow added a dash of glamour to the aesthetic.

The multi-talented Jennifer Lopez offered up a masterclass in what she does best: sizzling makeup, featuring a smokey eye, tousled hair shot through with biscuit-hued highlights, and a glossy, nude lip.
