We can't decide which we love more: Andra Day's perfectly coiffed updo or ombré lips.

Less Is More

Sex Appeal
We've officially flatlined. Cause of death: Ciara's arrival on the red carpet. Her loosely pulled-back hair and subtly smoky eye were just that gorgeous.

Mizani Global Artistic Director Cesar Ramirez created the style for the singer. He used Mizani Thermastrength Heat Styling Serum, $23, on her freshly washed and towel-dried hair, then gave her a blowout. He then gave her a center part, divided her hair into two sections and looped her hair into three large knots. To keep her look sleek all night long, he misted on Mizani HRM Humidity Resistant Mist, $17.

50 Shades of Gray
Topknot? Try top-yes. Skylar Gray slayed the red carpet with her sleek updo, paired with on-trend feathered brows and a classic smoky eye.

Beauty Chameleon
Zendaya isn't afraid to change up her look, which makes her one of our favorites to watch on the red carpet. The newly appointed CoverGirl did her own makeup for the red carpet, showcasing her impressive makeup skills.

To complement her menswear-inspired ensemble, she created a natural-yet-feminine look using CoverGirl TruNaked Eyeshadow Palette, $11.49, in Nudes to create her soft, natural smoky eye. She warmed up her face with CoverGirl TruBlend Bronzer, $9.99, and gave a glowy pop of color with CoverGirl TruBlend Blush, $9.24. To finish off her look, she used CoverGirl Colorlicious Oh Sugar!, $8.99, in Caramel.

The Grammy Awards are known as the biggest night in music -- and it's easy to see why. This is the night where top artists like Taylor Swift and Adele and newer artists like Elle King are celebrated for their talents.

While we definitely have these singers' albums on repeat (BRB, crying to "Hello"), we also want to take a moment to put the spotlight on their gorgeous hair and makeup looks. From stunning no-makeup makeup to smoky eyes to curled-to-perfection hair, these are the looks from the 2016 Grammys that had us swooning in front of our televisions screens. So grab a glass of vino, put on "1989" and get ready for some serious hair and makeup inspiration.
