How to Copy TSwift's Billboard Beauty Look If there's a music awards show happening, odds are Taylor Swift is walking away with at least one win -- and she'll do it in her signature red lip and black liner look. It's classic yet predictable. Which is why we can't get enough of the totally unexpected fresh-faced look she wore for her "Billboard" magazine cover.
"To give her glam a little edge, I went for a crisp burgundy eye and a neutral look," says makeup artist Brett Freedman. He prepped her skin using Dermalogica Ultra Calming Mist, $34, and Murad Renewing Eye Cream, $75, before applying Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation in #35 Vanilla, $36, for a flawless, shine-free finish. Next, he applied Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer, $70, on the lids and under eyes, and set Swift's base with Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Pressed Finishing Powder, $34.
To highlight her cheekbones, Freedman used IT Cosmetics Hello Light Anti-Aging Creme Luminizer in Radiance, $24. And for Swift's on-trend burgundy eye, he applied MAC Eye Shadow in Sushi Flower, $16, with a damp brush for a cream shadow finish and Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner in Fig, $22, to the top and bottom lash lines. Freedman then layered four coats of Kevyn Aucoin The Volume Mascara in Rich Pitch Black, $28, and highlighted Swift's inner eyes with Benefit Girl Meets Pearl, $30. He filled in Swift's brows with Brett Brow Duo-Shade Pencil in Pale Blonde, $18, and brushed them with Arch-Control Gel, $18.
For a neutral pink lip, Freedman used Dr. KISS Satin Finish Lip Balm, $12, before applying Tarte LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint in Exposed, $24.
