Award-winning artist Taylor Swift knows exactly how to hit the nail on the head when it comes to hair and makeup: cat-eye and red lips are an unmistakable signature.
From country debutante to pop icon, Taylor Swift has redefined style. For her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department”, however, Taylor completely gave up her beauty essentials, showing off minimal makeup.
Between hairstyles and super glam makeup, Taylor Swift has become a beauty icon loved by her fans in a very short time. While her concerts are sold out and her songs are constantly breaking records, she also reconfirms herself as an inspiration in terms of beauty.
To increase the media strength of her makeup is also simplicity: few recognizable elements within everyone's reach, which is why it is said that Taylor Swift's strength is simplicity and in fact, her beauty look confirms it.
Everyone can replicate it, even if her Swifties would like to know for sure the makeup products she uses.
Here is a list of the alleged makeup products used by Taylor Swift:
Taylor, Swift hasn't married any beauty brands, and her team, which includes hairstylist Jemma Muradian, makeup artist Lorrie Turk, and stylist Joseph Cassell, rarely shares backstage information, so pinpointing the exact products used on her is always a daunting task.
From Swift's relationship with makeup expert extraordinaire Pat McGrath, however, fans suspect that her red lips come from the Pat McGrath Labs LiquiLust Lipstick lipstick in the shade Elson, a lipstick that is constantly always sold out all over the world.
Pat McGrath had also previously launched the “Taylor-Made” kits which included some of his favorite products from the brand.
A great alternative to Pat's lipstick is the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl, which Taylor wore to the 2014 Met Gala anyway.
Red lipstick and cat-eye eyeliner are a sort of stylistic signature that has characterized her look practically forever.
Lorrie Turk, her personal makeup artist, is always besieged by requests for the products used to create her makeup look. Several times asked, however, she makes it known that she cannot leak any indiscretion regarding the star's makeup.
The same goes for Jemma Muradian, Taylor's historic hair signature, who never reveals any secrets about her looks.
On the net, however, there are many sites where you can find the alleged products used by the American singer-songwriter on stage and in private life. Among the most authoritative addresses on the subject is TaylorSwiftStyle: created by the “swiftologist” and fashion blogger Sarah Chapelle which reveals the lipsticks and related shades of red that Taylor would have sported over the years.
Whether they are really the lipsticks used by the artist is not known, but they have always sold out.
A symbol of elegance, but also of respect, red lipstick is able to attract attention and maintain it. Seeing it worn by a star of his stature and in such a continuous way distances you from the perception that it is a detail belonging to a retro aesthetic.
It is a way to reclaim the power of makeup and to convey a message of self-affirmation: you don't wear lipstick to please others, but to reaffirm your strength.
And if Taylor Swift does it, why shouldn't we?
Lately, Swift's look has had a turn towards the 30s aesthetic of Clara Bow, American silent film diva. After all, it is not the first time that it takes a vintage trend and proposes it again, also thanks to the song that closes the first half of the double album, taking its name from the famous actress.
But it was just a parenthesis between one red lipstick and another.
Taylor Swift's signature look is undoubtedly blonde, a warm and enveloping shade, with golden shades and reflections.
An intense honey blonde that the pop star loves to combine with full bangs.
During concerts, the singer often prefers a smooth or slightly wavy hairstyle, which can be easily achieved thanks to the use of a hairdryer and a large brush.
A simple and classic hairstyle, but impactful!
As for the hair, Taylor Swift has never completely distorted her image, but often recommended slight variations of the same mood: blonde hair, sometimes warmer others less, many times wavy but always accompanied by bangs.
“Red” is Swift's most personal album and also marks a radical change in Taylor's style, from the young soap and water girl to a more aware and refined woman.
The hair becomes very straight and the bangs become almost a trademark, as well as the red lipstick.
Taylor Swift's lips are almost always an intense red, slightly matte but at the same time lively: it is the “Taylor red” to which Pantone should dedicate a shade to it.
To accompany the lips is almost always an eye makeup that has also become iconic: a cat eye made with black eyeliner that gives an intense, captivating but at the same time dynamic look.
In fact, even when she abandons red for a nude lips, the image as a whole is more delicate but still impactful, especially if the eye makeup remains in shades of black, which can be used in the form of a pencil in the upper and lower lash line of the eye.
Not to be underestimated is the Gothic smokey eye option, less used by the star but chosen in the video of his latest song, Fortnight.
So what are you waiting for? All you have to do is try the various red lipsticks options and long-lasting eyeliners on the market.
