Lauren Conrad at the 2009 MTV VMAs

MTV Video Music Awards: Lauren Conrad

September 13, 2009

Lauren may have retired from The Hills, but she's certainly still a presence on the red carpet. For the VMAs, she ditched her extensions and went with a 1930s-inspired style held back with a sweet hair clip. Her makeup was all whisper pinks, from eyes to cheeks and lips. She definitely doesn't look overdone the way some celebrities do on the red carpet, but do you think her soft pastels were right for the VMAs — or should they have stayed in Malibu?

too much make up - she looks like she has a moustache as it's all gathered on her upper lip.cute hair style, but i definitely think if you go for this 1930's do - it needs bold red lips :)

She looks washed out AND overdone-- I didn't think it possible!

Adore the hair if I could only see past the makeup

nasty makeup on a pretty girl! who is giving her makeup tips? they need to be fired! that unnatural skin tone doesn't suit her hair color or her eyes, and the foundation has seeped into every crease and wrinkle it can find, making her look old and decrepit. her lipstick looks awful with the fake tan - orange and pink do not complement one another. it's the tan. she needs to loose the tan. the makeup would flow if her skin wasn't orange. however, i do agree with a previous poster: if she's going for a 20's/30's glam look, she needs red lipstick with subtle black mascara on her eyes.

Too much makeup and tanner. She definitely looks 10 years older than she is. I agree with above - the all pink palette washes her out.

Loved the hair and makeup, very sophisticated.

Oh man, the chicks from The Hills all need to easy up on the self-tanner. They're all the same shade of orangey bronze tonight.

bad lip color. she always chooses those colors which make her look like she has no lips

Should've picked a better lip color. Her lips disappeared. =/

She needs a new makeup artist, she looks about 10 years older than she is.

Her makeup is VERY backwards for the look she's going for. She should have opted for a nude eye and red lips!!!

Her makeup looks like it was slathered on, wayyyyy too heavy.

I think her hair is kind of cute. Definitely a change for her, which is nice to see. Makeup-wise, though, I think the eyeliner is too heavy and the pastel tones on her cheeks/lips wash her out.
