Billboard Music Awards 2013 - Hair & Makeup misses

Well, Taylor Swift was the big winner at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, taking home eight—that's right, friends, 8— statues. But you know what I really care about: Did she win the night in the hair and makeup category for you? Let's see. Check out the best, most interesting looks of the night—

We are loving taylor's smokey blue eye and soft hair colour. 

J Lo look's like she may have forgotten to tweeze the brows before the big night. 

Keesha not only forgot her dress but also her makeup 

It seemed forgetfulness was the flavour of the night with Selena also forgetting to do her hair although loving the  fluoro and zipper dress. 

Miley hit the mark with her makeup although not too sure about the something about Mary hair. 

Selena Gomez's Shoulder Mohawk

Selena Gomez’s Off the Shoulder Mohawk Braid at the VMAs

 

Worn at this past weekend’s VMAs, this is a clever combination of two trends by Spring Breaker, Selena Gomez. If you’re a regular trend-spotter, you’ll have noted a wave of celebrity pompadours recently –– Miley Cyrus anyone –– and Selena combines that dramatic style, which serves to lift and elongate cheekbones, with a swinging, beatnik braid, artfully placed to mimic a mohawk. The songstress says, when you want something, ‘Come and Get It’; to get this look, click style notes.

Step: Use the shine and hold of Kevin Murphy Night.Rider to create a high and handsome quiff.
Step: Gather rest of hair behind pompadour. Use a list mist of Kevin Murphy Session.Spray along the sides and into the back to keep hair sleek and flyaway free. Mist gathered hair with Kevin Murphy Fresh.Hair for texture and grip.
Step: Make a chunky, three-strand braid and, for the mohawk effect, use pins to secure to scalp. Secure the end with elastic and swing over the shoulder. Mist style with Kevin Murphy Session.Spray for flyaway and humidity defense.

Selena Gomez's Classy Updo

Selena Gomez’s Classy Low Updo

 

 

Selena Gomez’s styling goes from strength to strength. She played the fun and flirty child star so well, and now that she is evolving into a young women, her look is going the same way. Here she shows off an elegant low updo, which is a great way to combine the casual and the chic. The opposite –– a high updo –– can appear too forced and too dramatic, especially on such a pretty and radiant young belle. This way, Selena is able to keep hair off the face –– helping to elevate cheekbones and chin in a polished and sophisticated way, while living that magical moment between woman and girl.

Step: Towel-dry hair to damp. Apply 1 pump of KEVIN.MURPHY YOUNG.AGAIN along mid-lengths and ends and blowdry with paddle brush for smoothness and shine.

Step: Lightly mist hair with KEVIN.MURPHY FRESH.HAIR to add body, texture and grip. Make a side part and separate bangs. Gather rest of hair low in the back and use hair ties and / or bobby pins to fix it as you like it.

Step: Push bangs across the eye line for an elegant side-sweep. Pull out a few pieces of hair close to each ear for a slightly undone, face-framing effect. Finish with a light glaze of KEVIN.MURPHY SESSION.SPRAY all over for night time sparkle.
