VMAs 2017: Vanessa Hudgens Wears Red Glitter Eye Makeup

Before Vanessa Hudgens even made her grand entrance at the VMAs 2017, she gave fans an early sneak peek at her glam — and it happened to match the red carpet and her jewelry. The star debuted her makeup (by Allan Avendaño) and part of her outfit in a backseat beauty video that featured a ton of sparkle. As she closed her eyes, a strip of bright red liner became visible, but it was the glittering finish that truly made the look VMAs-worthy. And if you watch the clip, you'll see that her eyes are sparkling just as much as her accompanying jewelry (granted, the effect of a filter, but still pretty cool).

We've seen Vanessa wear some pretty memorable beauty looks in the past, but this just might be her best yet. If you look closely, you'll notice that her liner even matches her red dress — and her hairstyle (by Chad Wood) joins the drama with some fresh-out-of-the-shower, slicked back vibes. Between her eye-catching makeup and voluminous hair, she's definitely found her show-stopping combo. It may not her everyday pairing of beachy, tousled strands and black winged liner, but we love it even more because it's the perfect example of awards show beauty experimentation.
