In the early Love Story days, Taylor was known (and loved) for her perfectly-formed honey blonde curls. Seen here with a dusting of charcoal shimmer shadow, it was a great beauty pairing for her journey into pop-stardom.

In 2013 in Cannes, Taylor went for longer, darker hair and lashings of dark black kohl. It’s a departure from her usual cateye, but we’re into it.

2015 was a big year for Taylor, was it not? Seen above at the MTV VMAs, Taylor showed off a very fierce winged liner, a matching sequinned houndstooth set and a sleek low ponytail. The clip for Bad Blood won best video that night — so the dark makeup feels apt.

Hollywood curls, a red lip and winged liner is the quintessential Taylor beauty look. According to her makeup artist Lorrie Turk, the exact shade is Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl (adds to cart).

A slightly more grown-up Taylor looked incredible at the 2018 AMAs. With a natural-looking shade of blonde, heavy set of bangs and thick lashes, it’s glamorous but sophisticated. Love!
