While we again don’t quite know which song this get up is for, what we do know is the makeup was done by Pat McGrath – just as it was for the night Taylor announced Midnights at the MTV VMAs. And just like that instance, Pat used all the same components to pull off her dramatic beauty.

The use of sparkly appliqués beneath her brow to create an exaggerated winged effect also feels like a callback to that night.

I’m appreciative and grateful for Pat McGrath’s beauty work on Taylor last night – and for posting all. the. deets! It’s so fun to be able to have insight into the exact details of Taylor’s beauty lewks.

As I’ve had a moment to process and go over close up photos, my thoughts on beauty styling are the jewels are awesome choices (especially those earrings) and I generally love the makeup and glow.

But I do wish that in order to commit to the retro vibes and provide a cleaner finish around her forehead that her bangs were styled in finger curls and perhaps paring down the crystal appliques to a single one (or 2-3) at each corner of her eyes to further emphasize her signature cat eyeliner. That or instead of black liner, a fun silver glitter liner.

Given Taylor’s confirmation of wearing it in the past, I feel reasonably confident that the matte shade she is wearing in her most recent Story is this rosy shade by KVD.
