Woke Up Like This
Both Jennifer Lopez and Dianna Agron amped up the sex appeal on the red carpet with smudged, slept-in smoky eyes, natural lips and artfully unkempt hair.

To create Agron's look, makeup artist Georgie Eisdell evened out her skin with Kiehl's Skin Tone Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream in Light, and then lightly powdered with La Mer The Powder to remove shine.

For the eyes, he used Chanel Illusion D'Ombre in Diapason and Fantasme on the lid, blending it up into the crease and bringing it under the eye to create a smoky effect. He lined the inner rims with Tarte Pencil in Deep Amethyst for depth, followed by two layers of YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara.

Finally, Eisdell finished off her look with Kiehls Lip Balm #1 first, then Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss in Maui.

Fade Out
Curly girls tend to shy away from ombré, but Jordin Sparks demonstrated how great this trend can look on curls.

Classic Combo
Charli XCX brought vintage glam to the red carpet by going for a trifecta of classics: a liquid liner cat eye, a rounded red lip and retro waves.

Baby Steps
While many attendees went for statement-making beauty looks, Fergie opted for no-makeup makeup and let her on-trend babylights steal the show.

Matte Maven
Kylie Jenner added an elegant touch to her two-toned hair with a sultry, matte makeup look. To get the look at home, follow makeup artist Rob Scheppy's steps from last night:

-Contour the eyelid using Eyeko Me and My Shadow in Chocolate along the crease and blend.
-Curl using Eyeko Lash Curler, then apply a thin layer of Eyeko Black Magic Mascara onto lashes to prep.
-Using the brush applicator, apply a full row of the corner lashes from both sets of Eyeko Lash Wardrobe in layers for a bold, dramatic look.
-Touch up dried lashes with another coat of Eyeko Black Magic Mascara for red carpet-ready look.
-To complete the eye, apply Eyeko Brow Liner and Brow Gel to enhance the natural brow color, which frames the bold sultry eye.

The year is quickly coming to an end, but last night, the American Music Awards gave us one last look at red carpet glamour before we settle in with turkey, pie and wrapping paper. Some of music's biggest stars slipped into slinky gowns, stepped into heels and served up some serious beauty inspiration for the holiday season. From dark, wine-stained lips and seriously smoky eyes to the perfect ombré and on-trend babylights, see the best beauty looks and hairstyles to walk the red carpet of the 2014 AMAs.
