Ultimately, Taylor Swift doesn't need to wear makeup (nor does anyone), but she also embraces makeup as an avenue for self-expression. Yet, while she's mastered cat-eyes, Swift hasn't always treated her skin with the love and care it deserves. "After my teen years and early twenties of sleeping in my makeup and occasionally using a Sharpie as eyeliner (DO NOT DO IT), I felt like I needed to start being nicer to my skin," Swift wrote for ELLE. "I now moisturize my face every night and put on body lotion after I shower, not just in the winter, but all year round, because, why can't I be soft during all the seasons?!"
And as she told Allure, she's learned a lot from makeup artists along the way — including tricks for a killer red lip. "They put on the red lipstick, then blot it with a tissue, then they put powder over the tissue and sort of press it onto your lips," she said. "Then re-apply. It turns it into a stain that lasts much longer."
But, if fans truly want to adopt Swift's flawless complexion as their own, they need only share her joy for embracing their natural skin tone. "In high school, it seemed like everybody cared about being tan all year round, but I haven't really thought about it since then," she said. "I don't go to a tanning bed, and I get bored when I lay out." And, when out and about, always wear sunscreen!
