These Are the 8 Beauty Commandments of Taylor Swift

We're going to put those silly rumors to rest right now. Curly girls can wear fringe, and Taylor is proof. It gets a little tricky, but the key to pulling it off is all in the texture (and the cut). Taylor's blunt bangs work slicked straight down or sideswept and wavy. When you take her picture into the salon to get a similar cut, make sure to ask for the brow-grazing length.

Beanies ($7) shouldn't be reserved for bad hair days only. Consider hats your styling secret weapon instead of a last-minute savior. Taylor is often snapped wearing a hat on the streets of NYC, but not to cover up her styles. They are precariously perched on top to frame her waves and bangs. It's all a part of the hair ensemble.

Even though Taylor is known for her simple winged eyeliner, she also trades it out for a sultry metallic smoky eye. And like a savvy beauty girl, she knows to complement her azure gaze with a simple soft pink lip and rouge cheeks. To create a similar gunmetal gaze, try Nars Shimmer Eyeshadow ($26).

For Taylor, every day is an opportunity to go retro — #TakeMeBackTuesday, #WayBackWednesday, #FlashbackFriday. She has embraced Old Hollywood beauty completely, wearing winged eyeliner and sideswept waves often. And we have to agree: sourcing your style from Grace Kelly or Marilyn Monroe will always make you look en vogue. A few retro beauty essentials: Bobbi Brown Smoky Eye Kajal Eyeliner ($24), T3 Tourmaline Hot Rollers ($119), and Nars Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl ($25).

The day Taylor debuted her lob haircut, she also started to try more daring makeup looks (like purple eyeliner and orange lipstick). Sometimes a change in length can open the door to an edgier, chicer "you," who has been buried under those extralong locks. Plus, Taylor's cut started a whole hair trend in Hollywood: the wob (wavy lob).

Taylor Swift and red lipstick are like peanut butter and jelly. But have you ever tried a peanut butter and banana sandwich? Taylor has. She's not afraid to stray from her classic look for something different. Occasionally, Taylor swaps her waves for straight strands or switches her crimson lip for a nude or hot pink hue. You know what they say: variety is the spice of life.

Curly girls know that styling is a daily battle that is usually won by frizz. However, Taylor often works with her curly texture to get those bouncy ringlets we all envy. Even when she wears an updo, you can see her natural curl incorporated into the look. If your spirals are misbehaving, you can use a small curling iron ($99) to perfect the coils right around your face.
