Taylor Swift is known for rocking a bold red lip and emphasizing her piercing blue eyes with heavy eyeliner on the red carpet and on stage, but it took her a while to come into her own in the makeup department. No matter how often Tay changed her look in the past, however, there’s no doubt she owned every single beauty choice she made.
