With Emma Stone’s rocker-chic style, smoked out gaze, and laid-back locks, it’s no wonder she stole the scene at tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards. To help this stunning starlet get red carpet-ready, Emma turned to mane man, Mark Townsend, and makeup artist, Rachel Goodwin. Here’s the skinny on how to get her look—straight from the pros who created it:

The finishing touch? She swiped Stone’s lips with a pink matte lip color to complement her deeply colored gaze.
