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.”

I love the Marchesa gown Miley Cyrus wore last night. She made a funny remark on the red carpet about how her shoes were so ugly she was hiding them under her gown—and now I’m dying to see what they looked like!

Miley’s makeup was created by mark celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh. Here’s how to get Miley’s look:

Eyes

“The inspiration for Miley’s look was young and flirty bohemian. I wanted to keep her makeup soft and golden with a touch of bronze to compliment her white and bronze floral beaded dress. On her inner eyelids, I swept mark Shimmer Cubes in Moonlight and Twilight and mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Tiki in the creases. I lined the bottom of her eyes with mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Tiki and then coated her eyelashes with mark Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara in Raven.”
