Get the Look: Miley Cyrus at the Academy of Country Music Awards

Mark celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh created the red carpet look for Miley Cyrus at this month’s Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Here’s how she created this look:

Eyes

“Miley’s Monique Lhullier dress was hunter green and with her hair pinned up you could see the jeweled detail of the dress on the shoulder, so we decided do a sheer wash of hunter green on her eyes. I started by applying mark Winkstick Hook Up Eye Shadow Stick in Envious from the lash line to the crease using a flat eyeliner brush to help blend and distribute evenly. Then I added mark I-mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Retro Peacock from the lash line to the crease using an eye shadow brush. I then took an angled contour eye shadow brush to blend everything on the lid, leaving the lash line with the majority of the color. I finished by applying two coats of mark Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara in Raven.”

When I started Makeup Bag over two and a half years ago, I would have laughed at the thought of ever being featured on a major beauty brand’s website. But guess what? It happened!

Along with two of my beauty blogging friends Tammy and Nadine, I have a spot on the L’Oreal Paris Beauty Buzz page and I couldn’t be more excited!
