From iconic red lips to cat eyes sharp enough to kill a man, Taylor Swift's makeup looks have gone through as many eras as her music.

With the Eras Tour in full swing and re-recordings putting old classics back on the charts, Taylor Swift has really been bringing back all the nostalgic feels for her early career. Now, with the recent release of Speak Now (Taylor&rsquo;s Version), we can&rsquo;t stop thinking about how her iconic looks have evolved along with her music, especially the Taylor Swift makeup moments.&nbsp;
From soft complexions to accompany curly locks and cowboy boots to colorful glam, bejeweled for all those midnights, her unmistakable makeup has long defined each era. So, if you&rsquo;re in need of a look for any Taylor-approved occasion, there are so many gorgeous ways to go. Here are our picks to get some Taylor Swift makeup looks for yourself, whether getting over that older toxic ex or cozying up in a cardigan.

Taylor Swift

Start with the focal point of Swift's debut era: her sparkly blue eyeshadow. Swipe on some shimmering pigment over the lids, or add under the eye.

For the iconic blue base, Glossier's skywash gives a soft-matte effect in a beautiful baby blue.

Fearless

Just like the golden-hued aesthetic of Fearless, from the tassels to the expertly curled hair, capture Taylor Swift's makeup look by keeping the eyes soft and gold with a shimmering liquid eyeshadow.

A rose-colored lip is so simple and beautiful, matching the youthful curiosity and the fairytale aesthetics of the Fearless era.

Sephora Collection

While previously known for a glossy pink lip, there is still no Taylor Swift makeup element more iconic than her red lip, which she started rocking during her Speak Now in&nbsp;a plum shade seen on the album cover.

Any Swiftie knows the importance of the number 13, and during Speak Now, Swift frequently wore the number on her hand in makeup. Use some liquid glitter eyeshadow to recreate the special number yourself. e.l.f Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow in 'Ocean Eyes', $13.99, <a href="https://www.asos.com/elf/elf-liquid-glitter-eyeshadow-ocean-eyes/prd/202527063" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ASOS</a>

How to get the perfect red lip look that Swift always wears? Pat McGrath's matte lipstick. The makeup artist has been known to do Swift's makeup.

Keeping up with the red lip, try a gloss for the fun and flirty era.

The fan-favorite Urban Decay Naked palette is perfect for copying Swift's smokey eye, a look that marked a transformation in Swift's style as her music became more pop-focused.

The iconic black streaks running down Swift's face in the Blank Space music video can only come from a strong and fierce liquid liner, a feature of her makeup that stayed strong in this new era.

Reputation

Perhaps more than any other era, Reputation is known for Swift's transformative makeup and style choices, as she takes on a fierce and rebellious perspective on reclaiming her identity.
Blowin' Smoke Shadow Palette, US$14, <a href="https://fave.co/44f9FHO" title="colourpop eyeshadow palette" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colourpop</a>

Swift goes for sultry with a deep rather than bright lip look. The shimmering lipstick from Stila gives a metallic effect that matches the themes of the era so well.

For those sharp cheekbones and killer facial features, blend together a contour kit with all you need to sculpt and shape.

To make the darker eyeshadows pop against your eyes, add white eyeliner, which exudes the confidence and coolness of Reputation.

Lover

With the fun and whimsy of Lover, it only makes sense that the eye looks are full of pastels and shimmering colors.&nbsp;
Garden of Juvia Eyeshadow, US$25, <a href="https://fave.co/3D0aMPR" title="Juvia's place eyeshadow palette" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ulta</a>

Naturally, the best way to pair the pinky hues of the Lover era is with a vibrant pink lip. Taylor Swift's makeup always includes a colorful lipstick and this one from Clinique has a vibrant pigment perfect to match this album's romantic vibe.

And, of course, the cult classic Rare Beauty blush makes a perfect addition to a Lover inspired makeup look, full of dewy pinks.&nbsp;
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Happy, US$23, <a href="https://fave.co/3XHH3Vk" title="rare beauty pink blush" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sephora</a>

Rare Beauty

It wouldn't be a Lover look without glitter, especially the iconic heart around Swift's eye on the album cover. Pair with blue or pink highlights in your hair and you'll fit right in at the Lover house.

Folklore

A hallmark of the Folklore era is Swift's bare and natural looks, marked by a dewy glow that screams summertime whimsy.

For a nice glow, there's a reason Charlotte Tilbury's liquid highlighter is so popular. It perfectly matches the slightly bronzed and minimal Folklore aesthetic.

Swift's bare look goes great with a clear gloss.

Evermore

While Folklore is a summer album, Evermore is distinctly for the wintertime. So, Swift maintains the dewy look but keeps her paler complexion, in favor of cooler shades in the cooler air.

Swift loves a good eyeliner, and a brown color is perfect for the subdued melodies and themes of Evermore.

To get those rosey cheeks from the cold during any season, add a neutral-colored blush.

Midnights

Midnights ushered in a new era of music and also beauty, as Swift started wearing gorgeously vibrant hues and flashy sparkles. Most of her stunning looks have makeup artist Pat McGrath to thank, who created a lot of Swift's iconic makeup looks and even has a feature in the Bejewelled music video.

Pat McGrath

To evoke the starry skies of midnight, wear a pigmented sparkly eyeliner. Urban Decay has great color options from silver to metallic green, all of which perfectly suit the Midnights era.

It's always a red lip. If Red was bright and Evermore a more burnt color, than Midnights is a beautiful deep red.
Always On Longwear Matte Liquid Lipstick, US$27, <a href="https://fave.co/3rmfCEd" title="Smashbox red lipstick" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sephora</a>

You can't have the bejewelled Midnights era without some rhinestones around the eyes. These ones from Half Magic are a 2022 Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner.
