The Beauty Bunny

Country-pop newcomer Taylor Swift, now getting accolades for “Our Song”, first saw success with her hit “Teardrops on My Guitar”. Taylor’s gorgeous shadow and glitter looks too luxe for real life, but believe me kids, it’s not all video magic! Here’s how to master Miss Swift’s ultrafeminine look:

1. Start with the eyeshadow. Don’t be afraid: smooth a mint green cream shadow like NARS Cream Eyeshadow in Carioca all the way from your lashline to your brow. As long as you’ve picked a light enough shade, you will NOT look scary, I promise. If you’re lucky enough to have the matching powder shade (or close enough), set it with that. Use some black mascara and liner, subtly feathering the liner  on both the top and bottom lids for a very romantic look.
2. Make it glitter. You know the Bunny’s rule - get the tough stuff over with while you can clean up without ruining the rest of your makeup. Since we live in reality, unfortunately we can’t get away with jewel stick-ons like Taylor for our glitter. (Except if you’re 7 and at Libby Lu - then it’s okay.) Luckily, Too Faced Shimmer Veils are a great alternative that are still ultra-glam and high wattage - try it in Pixie Dust. Just spread the glitter starting from the inner corner of your eyes, through the crease and then blend the outer edge upward toward the end of your eyebrow. Go down a little under the outer edge of your eye too, if you’re brave - but if not, there’s no need, you’ll still look hot.
3. Pump up the gloss. Don’t pick a colored lip gloss - there’s enough pizzazz in the eyes on this look. Just pick your shiniest clear gloss slather it over lip liner in your natural color. Ta-da! You’re ready for whatever insane Victorian high school Taylor Swift goes to. (Seriously, whose bedroom looks like that?)
