"Taylor Swift comes off as angelic and sexy at the same time thanks to a winning combo of radiant, flushed skin and Cleopatra-inspired eye makeup."

To create comehither cat's eyes like Taylor's, select a mauve tone for the lid, and rim the top and bottom lashes with navy blue pencil eye liner. Add dimension with a deeper shade of plum shadow applied in the crease. Blend well with a contouring eye shadow brush.

Using an eyeliner pencil, outline the lashline and extend the line upward and outward a few millimeters beyond the outer corner of each eye. Follow with another layer of eye liner, this time in a powder formula.

Wet a flathead eyeliner brush and dip it into a velvety navy blue eye shadow. Apply it to your lashline using pressing, not painting, motions to really pack on the color. Smudge with a Q-Tip or your finger to smoke it out. Add a touch of the shimmery, snow-white shadow to the center of the lid and outer corners of the eye to finish the look.

An eyebrow stencil, paired with a soft brow powder or pencil that matches your natural brows, will help you play up your natural arch to put the finishing touches on the Taylor Swift-inspired look.
