Let’s agree that now is the perfect moment to try a dazzling, sparkly makeup look for the holidays. And on the same page, the release of Taylor Swift’s latest album, Midnights cemented our status as ardent Swifties, and I can’t decide which of her songs I like best!
As a result, I’m really ashamed to admit that I only recently discovered the queen’s signature makeup looks from her iconic music videos that made her the reigning queen. Put your hands up if you’ve been waiting to read an article that will show you exactly how to imitate Taylor Swift’s signature hairstyles and makeup looks. Let’s get started right away.
5 Iconic Makeup Looks From Taylor Swift’s MVs That Live Rent-Free In Our Heads
Taylor Swift has become a beauty icon since she first came into the public eye in 2006. She started it off by switching from her trademark curly hair to a straight, unkempt lob. Then, just when we began to believe that her signature red lipstick and winged eyeliner, which remained a rarity in this constantly shifting environment, she startled us all by going goth. Take a look at Swift’s most stunning makeup looks as you travel back in time with us.

Here’s How To Achieve The Look:
Use Pat McGrath’s Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Foundation in the shade Light Medium 11 and follow it up with the Sublime Perfection Concealer in the shade Light 7. After you’ve set your base with Sublime Perfection Loose Setting Powder in Light 1, move onto your eyes.
Pat initially used the “Blitz Blue” Permagel Ultra Guide Eye Pencil before adding structure and definition with an extreme black eye pencil. The master of makeup defines everything with a black eye pencil while tidying up the edges to get a dramatic eye look. Fun fact: Before deciding on this look, they tried every eyeshadow, eyeliner, and shape from the 30 eye makeup options. She applied the colour “Nocturnal Navy” from the Pat McGrath Celestial Nirvana Eyeshadow Palette on the outer corner of the cat eye.
On the centre of the lid, apply “Dream & Bronze Infatuation.” This blue is stealing the show! After that, place the Pat McGrath Mothership II Eyeshadow Palette’s shade “Emerald Blitz” along the lower lash line. Apply a good highlighter to the inner corners to make the eyes pop. Voila, you’re ready!

Taylor Swift’s Bold Look From The Bad Blood Music Video
Taylor’s transformation from the girl next door to the femme fatale appeared to happen very instantly as a product of the music video, Bad Blood which also starred her closest friends. Her overall look proved that the Swifties all over the worldcan wear bold, red hair and blood-red lips along with a little (or a lot) eyeliner.
How To Achieve This Look:
To add some drama, apply a grey and black eyeshadow all the way up to the crease of your eyelid and blend it inward. Draw broad, thick winged lines on your upper and lower lash lines with a shimmery black eye pencil or kohl in a similar hue. Next, apply a matte, deep red lip colour to accentuate your lips, and you’re done!
Gold Pout From The Shake It Off Music Video
You might have missed this amazing makeup detail in one of Taylor Swift’s numerous stylish looks in the entertaining Shake It Off video. Taylor Swift wearing gold lipstick, indeed. She has joined Rihanna on the list of celebs who have sported an eccentric lip colour. It marked a significant departure from her usual red.
How To Achieve This Look:
Exfoliate your lips and prep them with a lip balm. Then, wipe it off. Next, apply a golden lipstick. If you want to intensify the shade, just apply a golden eyeshadow over a nude lip colour for lips like the 33-year-old.
Princess Hairdo From The Iconic Song, Love Story
Before our eyes, the singer went from an adolescent pop star to a chic chanteuse. That being said, when you don’t have time to blow dry your hair, this extremely famous, straightforward updo with tendrils embracing her face is ideal for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Truth be told, Swift looks like a real-life Juliet with a pink pout and loose tendrils, which is why this famous updo has received so much praise.
How To Achieve This Look:
Distribute some mousse through your hair’s roots and scrunch your hair before securing it with your fingers in an untidy updo. Don’t forget to keep some tendrils on your face and don a thin embellished headband.

How To Achieve This Look:
For more drama, line your upper lashline with electric blue eyeliner and accentuate your pout with a vivid purplish-pink lipstick shade.
