" When it comes to the Country Music Awards, the stars always adopt Cosmo&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Go Big or Go Home&amp;quot; motto, especially when it comes to their hair and makeup. And last night was no exception. So let&amp;#039;s get down to business and discuss which looks we loved and which ones left us wondering, &amp;quot;WTF?&amp;quot; CMA hostess, Carrie Underwood, looked, well, very &amp;quot;Carrie Underwood&amp;quot; with sex kittenish half-up hair, smoky eyes and ultra-glossy lips. Totally gorgeous, but very predictable. I&amp;#039;d love to see her try something more daring.  T Swift (FYI: Like the rest of the world, I&amp;#039;ve become such a big fan of hers that now we&amp;#039;re on a nickname basis\u2026she calls me &amp;quot;A Lavs&amp;quot;) pinned up her signature curls and went for a sparkly champagne eye shadow that matched her stunning gown and earrings.  Michelle Branch (remember her?) had one of my favorite outfits of the night (that necklace is killer) but I wasn&amp;#039;t loving her updo. The chunky pieces in the front gave it a very Cindy Crawford circa 1992 feel. As for her makeup, I&amp;#039;d like to take a Q-tip and remove about half the liner underneath her eyes.  I&amp;#039;ll give Kellie Pickler points for making a bold hair color change, but I&amp;#039;m willing to bet all the T Swift songs on my iTunes that she&amp;#039;ll be back to blonde by the holidays since this red shade just doesn&amp;#039;t suit her. Otherwise, her makeup is pretty, particularly her glowing peach cheeks and glossy lips.  Holy smoky eyes! If Leanne Rimes wanted to send some kind of &amp;quot;don&amp;#039;t&amp;#039; mess with me&amp;quot; message via her makeup it worked, because I thought her eye shadow was kind of scary. On a positive note, I liked her teased ponytail.  Now it&amp;#039;s your turn: Who do you think looked the best/worst at last night&amp;#039;s CMAs? Tell me in the comments! P.S. Check out &amp;quot;Country Music Awards, Cosmo Style,&amp;quot; where we give out our own awards based on what people are really talking about the day after the biggest night in country music.
