What's great about the Billboard Music Awards is that it's one of those fun award shows where the stars go full sex appeal [1] and wear really fun things. Not to mention, the award show happens in Las Vegas, so the bigger and bolder your look, the better! We've seen some killer outfits [2] on the red carpet over the years, but can we talk about some of the gorgeous hair and makeup these stars have also served us? They show up year after year with colorful makeup looks and bold hair statements, and we love every second of it. Get yourself ready for this year's award show on May 1 by taking a look back at some of our favourite beauty moments from years past.
