No, not forcing news anchors to seriously debate the moral risks of twerking, but bringing Cyrus to the forefront of the pop-culture consciousness and keeping her there. Three months later the image of her grinding on that foam finger is still seared into my mind. We can't think of anyone who worked harder to be the biggest beauty moment of 2013\\\\. Miley, you earned it.\\n\\n\\n\\n__RELATED LINKS:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [2013: The Year in Beauty](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/2013/best-beauty-moments-of-the-year-2013\\\\#slide=1)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [Are You Over Your Pixie?
