Taylor's Makeup for AMAs

 (click photo to enlarge)

Meanwhile, celeb makeup artist for CoverGirl Lorrie Turk was busy giving Swift a softer look. "I wanted to reflect the youthful, fun vibe of this event," Turk told Us.

Face: "I smoothed COVERGIRL Natureluxe Silk Foundation ($11.99, ulta.com) onto her skin followed by a dab of concealer on the inner corners of her eyes. I applied a soft peach blush along her cheekbones to add highlight and color."
Eyes: "With a dampened eyeshadow brush, I brushed on a taupe eye shadow from her lash line to just above her crease and blended in an up and outward motion. On the innermost corners of her eyes, I used a small damp brush to brighten and highlight her eyes with a white eye shadow. I lined just the tops of her lash line with a very thin line using COVERGIRL LineExact Liquid Liner in Very Black ($6.24, target.com). I finished her eyes by applying a couple of coats of mascara to her upper and lower lashes."
Lips: "I applied COVERGIRL ShineBlast Lipgloss in Dazzle ($7.44, walmart.com) directly from the applicator wand and then put it in her purse for any possible touchups later in the evening!"

TAYLOR WINS BIG AGAIN!

After being named the CMA's entertainer of the year, she won the big prize -- artist of the year -- at Sunday night's (Nov. 20) American Music Awards in Los Angeles!

"I just am so shocked and stunned and absolutely out-of-my-mind happy about this," she said. "The fact that the fans have been there for me -- more and more each year -- it just blows my mind. To have gotten to win entertainer of the year at the CMA Awards was just absolutely one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me. And then a few weeks later, here is another one of the most amazing things that has happened to me. I can't even tell you how much I am really loving this fall season so far."

 and as usual she looked gorgeous and elegant with her hair swept to the side, gold sequined strapless dress and simple stylish makeup, one word: Beautiful!

Taylor Answers Your Beauty Questions!

Taylor answered readers beauty questions in Allure magazine this month! Read the interesting answers below...

Taylor, like you, I have naturally curly hair. What technique do you use to curl your hair into perfect ringlets? What are your favorite products and tools?—Amy Felts"My hair is naturally curly, so some days I just let it be. But when I wake up and my hair looks like a mess, I curl my hair by wrapping the hair around the curling iron to create a spiral look. I don't use any hair products because I have this fear of putting too much mousse in it or something and my hair ending up feeling crunchy."How do you get your red lipstick to stay on all day?—Olga Navarro Davis "There are tricks I've learned from makeup artists on shoots. They put on the red lipstick, then blot it with a tissue, then they put powder over the tissue and sort of press it onto your lips. Then re-apply. It turns it into a stain that lasts much longer."What kind of skin products do you use? Your skin always looks so healthy.—Steffany Mae-Rose Hutchings"Thank you! I use whatever is around, really. I'll go to the drugstore and just get makeup removal pads, facial scrubs (that I always forget to use).The one thing I do daily is a put on night cream every morning before I put on my make up, and at night before I go to bed."How do you keep your skin looking healthy and beautiful without resorting to tanning beds?—Mandy Viar "I don't mind being pale. In high school, it seemed like everybody cared about being tan all year round, but I haven't really thought about it since then. I don't go to a tanning bed, and I get bored when I lay out. I put sunscreen on when I'm in the sun and sometimes I get tan, but I don't really think about it very much."What is your nighttime beauty routine?—Sammi Jo "I take my contacts out, wash my face, put on night cream, and put on my glasses so I can watch Friends. Sometimes I forget to wash off my makeup. Okay—almost all the time."
