Watch: Miley Cyrus Reveals Worst Makeup Disaster!

Miley Cyrus may have one of the wackiest styles in Hollywood, but even she suffers a makeup blunder that leaves her red-faced—or white-faced, that is.

The former Hannah Montana star is revealing her worst makeup nightmare.

"I've done the joker, you know where you get the white powder and it looks insane," Cyrus told me while promoting her new Viva Glam campaign for MAC Cosmetics' MAC AIDS Fund, adding, "It was on the red carpet. It was getting Maxim's hottest whatever of the year and I looked insane."

She's referring to party in May 2013 where she was crowned the hottest woman. The thin layer of white powder around her chin wasn't visible until she was hit with the flashes of a gazillion photographers.

"I got in the car and I wasn'y paying attention," she said. "I don't know if you've ever done this, but sometimes when you do your makeup, you space out and you're like [in a sing-song voice], ‘do-do-do.' And I forgot there was going to be so many cameras."

While Cyrus' Viva Glam campaign doesn't include face powder, it does feature hot pink lipstick and lip gloss customized by the pop singer herself. All proceeds benefit the MAC AIDS Fund, which supports HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment programs.

She's the latest in a long line of big name Viva Glam gals, including Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Nicky Minaj, Fergie, Lady Gaga, RuPaul and more.

"I'm definitely on a cool line up," Cyrus said. "I'm excited [but] I'm competitive at heart. So you know, I'm trying to be at the top of that Viva Glam list of getting my fans out there and buying it…I'm really, really stocked."

And so are we. Great job, Miley!
