These makeup and hair looks are worthy of their own statuettes

Diahann Carroll, 1986
Major lashes. Major arches. And very major cheekbones. Diahann Carroll was the first black actress to ever be nominated in the "Lead Actress in a Comedy Series" category back in 1969, and boy did she serve up the looks.

Keri Russell, 2000
With her crown of curls, apple cheeks and pink lips, Keri Russell looked downright cherubic on the Emmy red carpet back in 2000. It's quite the contrast to her new look -- nowadays, you'll likely catch her rocking a sleek 'do with co-star and boo Matthew Rhys on her arm.

Laverne Cox, 2014
Is Laverne Cox's contour game flawless, or what? Her eyeshadow and eyelashes are gorgeous too, of course, but it's her expertly painted cheekbones (read: that highlight!) that steal the show.

Demi Moore, 1988
Of course Demi Moore absolutely crushed her Emmys beauty look back in the late '80s. She wore her hair in a trendy-at-the-time curly pompadour accented with shiny drop earrings and rocked some truly great wild '80s brows, as well as a classic red lip. Oh, and bonus points for her arm candy: a tuxedo-clad Bruce Willis.

Lucy Liu, 2000
Honestly, Lucy Liu is one of those celebrities who just doesn't age. This photo from 2000 could easily be mistaken for a photo from yesterday. She kept her look natural that year, with blush accenting her flawless cheekbones and with a slightly tousled half-up look complementing her flawless mane of hair.
