Taylor Swift rarely walks the red carpet without lining her eyes and she stepped it up for the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. Instead of her usual black liquid liner, she used a navy blue shade in a kohl finish, extending it past the inner corners of her eyes.

Taylor Swift is best known for her love of red lipstick, so her eye makeup often takes second place — which is tragic given how iconic many of her looks have been. The pop star often accentuates her bright blue eyes with a sweep of black liquid liner for her signature sharp cat eye, which she once used a marker to create.

One of the first recorded sightings of the Taylor Swift cat-eye. Drawn here bold and smudgy, winged black liner would go on to become Swift's signature look. Swift tried her hand at blue eyeshadow again—this time in a sheer matte, proving you don't need to sparkle to shine on the red carpet.
