Much of Taylor Swift's aesthetic is built around nostalgia, from her signature NARS lipstick and winged eyeliner to her vintage・inspired personal style. The 1950s and 1960s tend to be the times she refers to most often, but her latest makeup look shows a trend that has drawn straight from 2015: a blind highlighter.

Since halcyon days of YouTube beauty gurus and Jacqueline Hill champagne pop mania, I haven't seen so frosty highlights. Even at the dim hotspot Waverley Inn in New York City, where she was spotted giggling and gossip over dinner with bestie Gigi Hadid on May 12, the pop star's milky highlight still made the whole place shimmer. 3

The dazzling sheen of her cheekbones consisted of a Simkhai bubble dress paired with long knitted sleeves and a taffeta skirt and pointy Gucci pumps; otherwise her accessories reflected the moon glow of her highlighter diamond choker, De Beers diamond drop earrings Features a disco ball-inspired rhinestone bag from celebrity favorite brand Dôen.

Legendary make-up artist Pat McGrath is responsible for many of Swift's best beauty moments, including her scintillating "Bejeweled" music video glam. So it's not hard to imagine her reaching for a shiny swipe of McGrath's Skin Fetish Highlighter + Balm Duo as the finishing touch before dinner. We also know that Swift has been wearing a warm cinnamon shade of nars lipstick called "Morocco" for years. (That's when she doesn't have a matte cool-toned red lipstick named "Elson" from McGrath's Liquilust range during the tour.

In other words, it's not crazy to assume that one of her 2 favorite brands is the cause of her twinkling in the temple.1 But in any case, she grinds really nice.
