Not only is Taylor Swift famous for her musical talent and romantic endeavors, but many Swifties are also frequently blown away by her stunning makeup looks. Since her first single, “Tim McGraw,” hit the Billboard charts in 2006, she has rocked various makeup styles:
Dark smokey eyes, blue eyeshadow, long lashes, peachy tones, and cat eyes “sharp enough to kill a man.” And don’t forget about all the red lipsticks Taylor Swift has worn! But have you ever wondered what she looks like without makeup?
Despite her perfect public appearances, Taylor has admitted to a relatable habit of forgetting to remove her makeup. “Sometimes I forget to wash off my makeup. Okay—almost all the time,” she told Allure in 2011. But even without makeup, she looks just as beautiful, as her makeup-free photos prove.
Tied Together with a Smile
On January 22, 2019, Taylor posted a casual selfie wearing a denim jacket and her adorable dirty blond bangs swept to the side. She captioned the post “Meow,” next to her “Cats” character name, Bombalurina.
Even without makeup, her bright eyes, clear skin, and full lips stood out. Her playful smile and raised eyebrows added to the fun vibe of the selfie.
But What Can We Say? You’re Gorgeous
On October 24, 2022, Taylor showed you don’t need makeup to capture a moody photo. Announcing her newest album, she wore no makeup, with her hair up in a braided bun, staring off into space in a fairytale-like outfit. Part of her caption read, “Midnight, what a storied and fabled hour…
On this sparkling evening I’ll be releasing my twist on a fairytale we all know.” The success of her “Midnights” album proved she’s stunning inside and out.
He Said the Way Her Blue Eyes Shined…
Every Swiftie knows Taylor loves sweaters. On October 24, 2018, she proved her love for turtlenecks might be stronger than her love for makeup. She posted a selfie in a dark turtleneck, showing off her blond bangs and enchanting blue eyes. She captioned it, “Here we can observe an Australian swiftlet in her natural habitat, a turtleneck.” The down-to-earth selfie was accompanied by photos of her walking in nature.
It’s Nice to Have a Friend
Everyone loves a cute buddy picture, especially when it features two famous musicians. On November 10, 2022, Taylor focused on fun rather than makeup in a photo with fellow songwriter Jack Antonoff.
She wore a casual outfit with no makeup, holding a drink while Antonoff struck a funny pose by the piano. The caption read, “Anti hero but make it acoustic.” Who needs makeup when you have friendship and music?
Poke That Bear ’til Her Claws Come Out
At the end of 2020, Taylor wore a bear costume and went makeup-free in a hilarious New Year’s Eve Instagram post. She captioned it, “Bye 2020, it’s been weird.” Even in a bear costume, her famous blue eyes and round face were easily recognizable.
Not many people can look flawless without makeup in a bear costume, but Swift did. Are we even surprised?
Never Go Out of Style
During the COVID-19 lockdowns, many posted no-makeup selfies, and Taylor was no exception. On April 27, 2020, she posted a flawless makeup-free selfie with her iconic blond curls, captioning it, “Not a lot going on at the moment.” The relatable caption and her perfect look without makeup left many viewers in awe.
