At the MTV Movie and TV Awards, some of our favourite stars graced the red carpet in their best threads and most outstanding makeup looks. We were sure to pay close attention to the stars' daring looks so you can see the most up-to-date trends and edgy makeup. (Tune in to see the show when it airs tonight!)

This year some of the stars arrived wearing bold cobalt eye makeup or dramatic lashes, while others went in the exact opposite direction. Many of the guests arrived in pared-down nude hues, opting for shades of beige, brown, and bronze to let their natural features shine through.
