So much of Taylor Swift's aesthetic is built around nostalgia, from her signature NARS lipstick and winged eyeliner to her heavily vintage-inspired personal style. The 1950s and 1960s tend to be the eras she references most often, but her latest makeup look showcases a trend pulled straight out of 2015: blinding highlighter.
Not since the halcyon days of YouTube beauty gurus and Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop mania have I seen a highlight so frosty. Even at New York City's dimly lit hotspot Waverly Inn, where she was spotted giggling and gossiping over dinner with bestie Gigi Hadid on Dec. 3, the pop star's opalescent highlight still made the whole place shimmer.
