Taylor Swift is known for her signature bright red lip—wearing the bold color on her record-breaking Eras tour, multiple album covers, and on the streets of New York City. However, she often pairs her bold lip with a crisp cat eye that is just as perfect, even if it might not draw the same attention. Though we've been able to track down some T-Swift-approved red lipsticks, her eyeliner of choice has remained a mystery—until now.
Content creator and beauty expert Kristina Rodulfo recently posted an Instagram video that gave us all the details on the eyeliner Swift swears by. Rodulfo explains that while watching Swift's documentary Miss Americana, she came across a scene where the singer is applying her own cat eye. After staring at the pen Swift used, Rudolfo realized that she knew exactly which one it was based on the golden details: the Tom Ford Beauty Eye Defining Pen ($62).
The creator applauded Swift for her choice of liners, adding that it's one of her personal favorites thanks to the fact that it has dual tips with different thicknesses—one for the larger brush strokes and the other for details. She also loves the formula, and says no matter which side she uses she always gets a precise wing.
Rodulfo also shared some tips on how to create the most perfect Taylor Swift wing. The creator says it's smartest to take a finger, place it right under your eyebrow, and lift your eyelid up gently. Then, with the other hand, take the fine-tipped end of the pen and fill in between your eyelashes and any part of your waterline that is hard to reach. This method makes it easier to get an even fill and will help you achieve the perfect, sculpted wing always seen on the star.
