MTV Video Music Awards 2022: Taylor Swift, Lizzo, Dove Cameron are beauty and makeup masters as they walk the red carpet

The MTV Video Music Awards 2022 were held on August 28 at the Prudential Centre in New Jersey, and as always, the event featured appearances from the biggest names in the music industry. It was an amazing night for the music business. Artists including Harry Styles, Doja Cat, Drake, and others were among the night's major candidates. LL Cool J, Jack Harlow, and Nicki Minaj served as the event's hosts. This year while celebrities, entertainers, and influencers are honoured for their musical efforts throughout the year, the red carpet is the place where our favourites show up and show out with their best outfits and best beauty looks.

LIZZO
Lizzo made an unexpected appearance on the red carpet at the 2022 MTV VMAs in Newark, New Jersey, donning an exquisite blue-black Jean Paul Gaultier gown, transparent opera gloves, and combat boots. Our attention was drawn to the singer's deep-blue lipstick and gold faux lip ring despite the fact that she also wore a slicked-back haircut and stacked gold hoops earrings. Eyeliner was actually used to achieve Lizzo's dramatic lip look rather than lip products. Her look was done by celebrity makeup artist Alexx Mayo, who used a mix of the Charlotte Tilbury Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo in Super Blue and the Charlotte Tilbury Rock 'N' Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Bedroom Black to get the deep-blue-black colour.

DOVE CAMERON
Dove Cameron wore reverse eyeliner with a smoky cut-crease and gothic pigtails, but her 3D nails really stole the show. Cameron had various charms or adornments in black, silver, and crimson on each of her fingers. When you look closely, you can see that the special nail moment also included spikes, red flowers, crystals, among other items.

AVRIL LAVIGNE
The original emo princess added some vibrant rhinestones on the outer and inner corners of her eyes to boost her standard black smoky eye. To complement the rich orange highlights in her hair, she also applied splashes of colour to her lower middle lash line. In keeping with her orange dip-dyed hair, she also chose neutral lips and nails.

TAYLOR SWIFT
The singer wore an Oscar de La Renta outfit that was covered in crystals as she made her way to the MTV VMAs red carpet. She tweaked the trend-appropriate look with dazzling crystal face jewels around her eyes in addition to the traditional blue-red lip and black liquid cat eyeliner. Her hair was pulled back into a subtle bun with her bangs centre-parted and pushed off of her face in order to highlight the flawless makeup she wore. Swift's beauty look for the awards night was created by none other than Pat McGrath, the renowned makeup artist.

CHLOE BAILEY
She has hit every high note. Her long, high ponytail made a statement on its own, but it also highlighted the singer's glowing makeup, which was done by David Velasquez. Glossy nude lips and dramatic lashes were the ideal makeup choices to go with this stunning silver dress that resembles some very glam shining armour.
