Grammy Beauties Rock in Sex Kitten Makeup

In terms of beauty, the Grammy Awards are usually the funkiest out of all the awards shows (think confrontational rock star hair and tons of glitter). But instead of the usual over-the-top looks, the stars came out in decidedly flirty, "sex kitten-y" makeup: Battable, out-to-there lashes, winged eyeliner, and shiny neutral lips in creamy caramels and petal pinks. Here, a gallery of our favorite pretty-girl looks from this weekend's Grammy festivities.

Blige Beauty

In terms of beauty, the Grammy Awards are usually the funkiest out of all the awards shows (think confrontational rock star hair and tons of glitter). But instead of the usual over-the-top looks, the stars came out in decidedly flirty, “sex kitten-y” makeup: Battable, out-to-there lashes, winged eyeliner, and shiny neutral lips in creamy caramels and petal pinks. Here, Mary J. Blige goes for pretty girl glamour in strong lashes, rosy blush and glossy, taupe lips.
