When Taylor Swift arrived for her Vogue photo shoot with Mario Testino she was asked if she would be willing to wear bangs for her picture. After discussing creating the illusion of bangs, Swift exclaimed, “Oh just cut it, its Vogue.” Cut it they did, and I think she looks incredible with her new fringe. P.S. I would have done the same thing; I’m with Taylor, its Vogue!

Makeup artist Gucci Westman emphasized Taylor’s blue eyes with lots of black eye liner {try M.A.C. Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved} and multiple coats of black mascara for a rock and roll inspired look. The rest of her makeup was kept soft with light peach blush {try NARS blush in Sex Appeal} and her lips were subdued with a creamy beige lipstick {try M.A.C. lipstick in Shy Girl} so as to not compete with the eyes. Oribe rocked her bangin’ (pun intended) haircut and tousled her layers with texturizing spray {try Oribe Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray}.

I love this edgy makeup and hair on Taylor, and her Rodarte Stevie Nicks inspired wardrobe is equally amazing. For a behind the scenes look at Taylor Swift’s Vogue cover shoot, check out this video.

What do you think of Taylor’s glamorous new look for Vogue? Are you a fan of her music?

Signature Scents

Every Christmas I can count on two certainties. One, I will bake and subsequently eat entirely too many cookies. Two, I will buy my mother yet another new signature fragrance to put under the tree. This of course implies that she has more than one signature fragrance, and she does. She has several-and she’s always…
