Big lashes, big hair, big statements… you know the VMAs. This year, though, some of our favorite beauty moments are almost criminally swipeable. From Tyla’s sleek but fun bob to KATSEYE Yoonchae’s bright pink cheeks, here are five looks we’re easily adding to our beauty rotation.

Anything-But-Boring Bob
What caught your eye: Tyla’s micro mini Chanel, her second MTV VMA award, or that sleek bob? We say all of the above, but let’s talk hair. To spice up your sleek bob, borrow Tyla’s move: add a subtle braid along your part (à la her cornrows) and turn a classic cut into a showstopper.
Cheeky in Pink
Forget nudes. Leave it to the Asian girls to turn the pink dial all the way up. KATSEYE Yoonchae and Audrey Nuna showed that you can take a bold blush from the red carpet to everyday. Their trick? Apply it strategically under the eyes but away from the inner corners for a pop of color that brightens, lifts, and gives the illusion of a more wide-awake look.
French Tip Lip
A few months back, we spotted the trend: a darker, unblended liner framing a lighter center. It’s dimension without overdoing it. KATSEYE Daniela and Love Island’s Olandria Carthen’s tip for extra impact? Top it with your glossiest clear gloss, so your lips pop all the way from the red carpet… or across the office.
Shimmering Stares
Eyes were sparkling. Literally. Zara Larsson used silvery shimmer that didn’t just sit on the lid but framed the eye, catching light in a way that made the gaze itself glow. Tip: Trace a touch of shimmer under the lower lash line to make the eyes glisten.
Drunk-Sunkissed Blush Medley
Toasty girl summer doesn’t end with the season. Tate McRae wasn’t the first on the train (Pinays have been heavy on the nose blush forever), but we’re still taking notes on that bronzey blush. The result was so commanding, we couldn’t look away from her look (or that hypnotic performance).
