Iggy Azalea, The Must-See Beauty Looks from the 2014 VMAs

Iggy sported a just-out-of-the-shower hairstyle complete with a fresh-faced makeup look. To get the look, hairstylist Sami Knight sprayed freshly washed hair with Herbal Essences Tea-Lightfully Celan Blow Dry Prep Mist working in Herbal Essences Naked Volumizing Soufflé at the roots for volume.

After blow drying the hair smooth, he teased the hair at the top of the head and brushed it away from the face before finishing with Herbal Essences Body Envy Volumizing Hairspray.

TSwift just announced she's releasing a new album with a pop sound, and the "Shake It Off" singer hit the VMAs with a new look in the form of a leg-bearing romper, green cat eye and her signature red lip -- because some things are too perfect to change.

Having already tried every hair color under the sun on its own, Kesha went for a full-on rainbow look that we really dig.

A VMA veteran, JLo looked better than ever with bronzed skin, a shimmering smoky eye and a nude lip.

Rita may have been wearing the same slicked back hairstyle as Iggy on the red carpet (she switched it up later to a blonde lob with blunt bangs for their "Black Widow" performance), but she kept it glam with a classic red lip and big lashes.

The MTV VMAs aren't a regular awards show -- they're a cool concert with some awards. Lacking the formality of shows like the Grammys, you can expect the performances to be a little wilder, the clothes skimpier and the lipsticks bolder. From Katy Perry's revival of the all-denim ensemble, to Ariana Grande's head-to-toe leather and every crop top in between, the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards were no exception.

And while no performance can quite live up to Britney Spears's "I'm A Slave 4 U" in 2001, these were the hair and makeup highlights from this year's MTV VMAs.
