In Depth - Taylor Swift Blank Space Makeup Tutorial

Hey Everyone! So I really wanted to show you guys an in-depth look at this Taylor Swift Blank Space look I did from her music video.

This is the look I recreated:

The first thing I started off with was my foundation. I used Armani Luminous Silk foundation. This is definitely a pricey foundation, but it's my favorite out of all that I have ever used. It literally makes your skin look flawless and it lasts all day. I think it's definitely worth the price, because the quality of this foundation is fantastic. I used my real techniques stippling brush to apply it, and then concealed with Maybelline Fit Me concealer. 

I then did my eyebrows with eyeshadow and primed my eyelids with a Mac Paint Pot. I used the color Groundwork. I love the Mac Paint Pots for priming, as I find they last all day and they can be used alone if you want to go for a more casual look.

These are the 4 eyeshadows I used. The first is Nylon by Mac, Twilight Mauve and Brandied Plum by Clinique and Scene by Mac. Taylor has a very matte look on her eyes followed with a very bold red lipstick. Nylon is not a matte color, but all of the other eyeshadows are semi matte.

I first used Twilight Mauve all over my eyelid as a base, making sure to cover up all of my primer. I then applied Nylon on the inner half of my eyelid, but not in the corners of my eye. Taylor's look is very dark and most of her highlighting is very matte. I also later applied Nylon on the center part of my eyelid as a highlight. This was the first round of eyeshadow.

I then used Brandied Plum on the outer corners of my eyes. I went from my lash line up and tried to keep it very angular. Even though this is a smokey eye, it's a very angular eye look. I then used Scene   in my crease. When I did this however I did it as a blended cut crease. I didn't bring it down to my lash line and only used it in my crease. I blended it a lot though because the eyeliner is the striking part of this look while the eyeshadow is very soft.

Here was the effect of the eyeliner. She has a very specific wing in this look. It's very thick until the middle of her eye and her wing is not curved at all. You definitely have to play around with this on your own eyes to find out how to make it look like yours. It's a very bold, dramatic look that some people may not like. I personally love it though. 

The finished look with Lipstick turned out as so:

I used my Urban Decay Perversion Mascara, and used a Mac Highlight on my cheekbones and nose called Too Chic. On my lips I wore the Rimmel Lipliner in the color Red Diva, Nars Dragon Girl (which Taylor Swift has worn on the red carpet), and Chanel Rouge Allure 58.

Here's how the Makeup looks out and about. Hope you guys found this helpful!
