The MTV Movie Awards red carpet provides the perfect outlet for celebrities to showcase their more playful sides, from bold lipstick to tousled up 'dos to everything in between. It's the network's 21st Movie Awards, so take a close-up look at which stars got the most adventurous, and which ones tried a more natural approach.
MTV's 2012 Movie Awards red carpet may have been full of natural makeup palettes, but the nails were anything but. From Janelle Monae's monochramtic mani to Kristen Stewart's pretty peweter to Elizabeth Banks' hot pink hue, see who bedazzled and who sparkled when it came to the evening's hottest nail polish looks.
On first inspection you'd be forgiven for thinking that Charlize Theron is another star on the natural beauty bandwagon at today's MTV Video Music Awards. But look a little closer and you'll see that beautiful golden bronze eye. The colour's been taken all over the lid and underneath the lower lash line with subtle finishing touches of warmed-up cheeks and a dusky pink lip. A natural-looking blow-dry with a side part and flicked-out ends rounds out the look. Thoughts?

MTV Movie Awards presenter Mila Kunis may have skipped the red carpet, but she posed for pics in the press room showing off her gorgeous eye makeup which featured sparkly gold shadow, rimmed with black liner. Keeping her lip neutral, Mila sported possibly the shiniest strands of the night, which were centre-parted with a loose curl running through the mid lengths. Is it a look that impresses you?

Emma Stone rarely puts a foot wrong on the red carpet and she's offered up another winning beauty look at today's MTV Video Music Awards. Looking perfectly pretty in her creamy pink lipstick, black eyeliner and textured up 'do, it's a great mix between effortless and elegant. Do you agree that the Revlon ambassador looks great?

Another MTV Movie Awards attendee opting for a more natural approach to red carpet beauty is Jessica Biel. The recently-engaged actress picked a pretty pink lipstick but the focus was most definitely on her hair with her blunt bangs looking newly-trimmed and long, centre-parted locks in great condition. Is Jessica's natural beauty enough to earn your vote or were you hoping for a more adventurous red carpet look?

Kristen Stewart is sticking to her fail-safe beauty look at the MTV Movie Awards, sporting a seriously sultry smoky eye that blends earthy brown tones with classic slate. Like Louise Roe, the fairest-of-them-all has opted for textured tresses worn over to one side and she's finished off her red carpet look with silver, glittery nails (word is, that the polish is Chanel Le Vernis in Graphite, $39). What do you think of Kristen's latest look?

Another star who looks to be in that in-between hair stage is Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester who seems to be growing out her fringe. Opting to part it in the centre and tie the length back into a ponytail, Leighton's paired it with golden bronze shadow, liquid liner and an orange lip. Does it win your vote?

The under-eye area is getting a lot of attention at today's MTV Movie Awards with most stars who are sporting smoky eyes taking a lot of the colour underneath the lower lash line, just as Elizabeth Banks has done. The What to Expect When You're Expecting actress has teamed her high, wraparound bun with a smoky eye that has silvery-blue accents. The hair and the pared-back lip really lend themselves to this look being all about the eyes. What do you think of Elizabeth's red carpet style?

I feel for Emma Watson. Being in that in-between-styles stage is never easy but I wonder if a sleek, low-slung ponytail may have been a better red carpet hairstyle choice for her. It would've looked more "done" and also shown off the halter neckline of her dress a little better. But that aside, Emma always looks pretty, no matter what she wears. Her flawless porcelain skin is always the star of the show and today she's wearing a powder blue eyeshadow and matte pink lipstick. Thoughts?
