Step 2: Apply a primer to your eyelid, then use an eye shadow brush to sweep a slightly shimmery beige, like Jouer Powder Eye Shadow, $20, in Praline, over your lid and up to your crease. Also pat a bit into the inner corner of your eye to open them up.

Step 3: Use an angled brush to apply a black gel liner, like Tarte emphasEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner Pot, $24, starting from the inner corner of your eye and extending slightly past the outer corner. Use small strokes to help you get a straight line.

Step 5: Use a fan brush and swirl it in a bronzer set like Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights, $30, then sweep over cheekbones and on temples. Apply the lightest shade on the tops of cheekbones and down your nose.

Step 6: Take a lip brush and swipe it across a red lipstick (we love Avon Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Red 2000, $8). Start from the center of your lip and use the brush to blend it to the outer corners of your lips. Set everything with a finishing powder, like Nyx Cosmetics HD Studio Photogenic Finishing Powder, $10.

It's official -- Miley Cyrus "Can't Be Tamed." The 20-year-old proved to be nothing short of a "Wrecking Ball" at this year's VMAs, letting us all know in no subtle way that she's truly "Someone Else" now. Point taken. As much as we'd like to move on from the madness, "We Can't Stop" talking about it (which was exactly Miley's goal).

While no one seems to approve of Miley's over-the-top antics (at least not openly), that's not stopping everyone --including half our staff and our model Stacey -- from wanting to be her for Halloween. In fact, Miley's VMA look promises to be such a popular Halloween costume this year that her famous foam finger is on serious backorder. For that reason alone, we knew we had to recreate what will surely go down as the most controversial moment of 2013. So without further ado, here is our step-by-step guide to stealing Miley's look for Halloween -- teddy bears not required, but definitely recommended.
