Her thoughts: This makeup look is a little deceiving. I thought it would be really simple, but it took me a good 20 minutes to do. Everything up until the eyes was simple — I used foundation on my entire face and applied a little bit of concealer under my eyes. I then applied bronzer to my cheeks, forehead, and chin to get a little color. For my lips, I lined them and filled them in with lip liner, then applied lipstick. I also dabbed a touch of lipgloss to the center of my lips for some extra shine.

Now for the eyes, I first applied a bronze eye shadow from my lash line to my crease. Then applied the gold shimmery shadow right under my eyebrows. I then applied black liquid eyeliner to my top lash line (kind of thick) and a little on the inside of my bottom lashline. After that, I used purple liner on my bottom lash line, then smudged it. That didn’t recreate the purple look that Miley Cyrus had, so I applied more and smudged more. After a few tries, I then applied lavender eyeshadow under my eye. I had to apply it a few times to get the purple to really stand out. I applied just a little more purple eyeliner and smudged it more, then applied a silver-colored eyeshadow to the inside corners of my eyes. For my lashes, I applied two coats of mascara.

Since the eye makeup took longer than I expected, I’ll probably only try this look again if I’m going out or to an event.
