Taylor Swift at the 2014 Met Ball in New York City.
It’s no secret that Taylor Swift is one of the most famous people in the world. Talented, humble, and beautiful, it seems that everyone just can’t get enough of her. Whether walking the red carpet or the streets of New York City to fetch a coffee, Miss Swift has the uncanny ability to look fabulous and put together everywhere she goes. (We’re only just a little bit jealous.) We’ve put together a list of Taylor’s tried and true beauty products, most of which are surprisingly quite affordable.
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl (£18.00)
No list of Taylor Swift’s beauty products should start with anything other than her signature matte red lipstick. Whether leaving the gym or attending the Met Ball, we’re almost certain that NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl (£18.00) is permanently on Taylor’s lips at all times. The singer has said that she feels that a pure, red lip brightens up her face, and simply makes her feel prettier than she does without it. What girl doesn’t feel that way about her favorite lipstick?
Kate Somerville Oil Free Moisturizer ($65.00)
Taylor’s skin always looks the kind of flawless that can’t be achieved solely with makeup. To maintain her seemingly porcelain complexion, she uses Kate Somerville’s Oil Free Moisturizer ($65.00). The moisturizer absorbs quickly, balancing hydration without the use of oils, parabens, or fragrances. Skin stays shine-free throughout the day, which means less makeup touches.
MAC Fluidline Gel Liner in Blacktrack (£15.50)
Although she’s been known to use a Sharpie when in a pinch, Taylor’s usual go-to eyeliner is MAC Fluidline Gel Liner in Blacktrack (£15.50). Her signature cat eye is achieved with the fool-proof, smudge-proof formula that glides on like a dream. Easier to apply and less intense than a traditional liquid liner, it’s perfect for practically any makeup look.
CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara in Very Black ($5.89)
Taylor has said for years that this remarkably affordable mascara is her absolute favorite. After discovering it in practically every makeup artist’s kit at her various photo shoots, she’s been using it religiously in her everyday life. CoverGirl’s LashBlast Mascara in Very Black ($5.89) lengthens and brings volume to even the smallest of lashes, allowing for a glamorous eye no matter the occasion.
The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter (£13.00)
Another one of Taylor’s favorite affordable products is The Body Shop’s Strawberry Body Butter (£13.00). A beauty essential of many, the luxuriously rich body butter melts quickly into the skin, leaving it silky-smooth and smelling of sweet strawberries. For someone like Taylor who is constantly traveling on airplanes which notoriously dry out skin, this product is an absolute must. She is also a fan of the coconut scent, which can be found here.
