Taylor Swift before 2009: Pure and innocent with pale lipstick, sometimes less bright
“I have worked with Taylor Swift many times. I can say I was the first person to color her red ,” Gucci Westman shared with Elle Australia. The makeup artist still vividly remembers a photo shoot for Allure magazine in 2009, when she had to fight with Taylor Swift’s mother just to have the right to choose the lipstick color she wanted. At that time, Taylor Swift had never worn red lipstick because her mother forbade it. The singer’s manager also firmly refused Gucci Westman’s offer, to the point where she almost had to order: “Taylor Swift must wear red lipstick!”.
And the “liver contest” had its final result with victory in favor of the brave female makeup artist. Gucci Westman gave Taylor Swift a look similar to Hollywood’s great stars with smooth skin, a fresh, powerful mouth and vibrant red lipstick. Lilac blush, brown eye shadow and black mascara for thick eyelashes are indispensable requirements for the photo shoot.
