Swift has been vocal about advocating for gender equality and fighting against sexism in the entertainment business. Through her music and activism, Swift has become a beacon of inspiration for women around the world, using her platform to uplift and amplify marginalized voices.

One of the key factors behind Swift’s enduring success is her versatility as an artist and her willingness to evolve creatively.

Sheryl Crow’s admiration for Taylor Swift serves as a testament to the latter’s unparalleled talent and impact on the music industry. Swift’s ability to connect with audiences on a profound level, advocate for important causes, and continuously reinvent herself as an artist has solidified her status as a true powerhouse in the world of music. As Swift continues to push the boundaries of her artistry, her influence is sure to be felt for years to come.

Anyone who wears makeup has had days where they look back on past makeup fails and shake their heads in horror. The problem for celebrities is that their makeup looks are exposed to the opinions of millions of people around the world, causing bad makeup looks to feel so much worse. From overdone eyeliner to botched blending jobs, these are some of the worst celebrity makeup fails of all time.

The gorgeous Tyra Banks has been all over our television screens. From her smash hit movie Life Size to running America’s Next Top Model to now hosting Dancing With the Stars, Tyra has done it all.

Tyra may have invented the smize, but it’s hard to see her smize behind that questionable smokey eye. That’s why Tyra leads off the “Eyes are their demise” scale with a 5/10.

We absolutely love to see men expressing themselves in ways that used to be taboo, including using makeup — should they have the desire to do so. Billy Joe decided to go for it one day with some black eyeliner, but we don’t know how to feel.

The main issue here is the odd dripping he’s got going on under his left eye. It looks like he had a good cry (which men can do) and then didn’t bother to touch up, earning him a 3/10 on the “Eyes are their demise” scale.

Nicki Minaj is known for never being afraid of bold colors and looks, and the world loves that about her. But with so much risk comes an occasional fail — and this look is one of them.

Her eyes are beautiful, but it’s hard to look at them when all you can see is the bright white line straight down her nose and across her cheeks. It’s a 6/10 on the “Botched-up blending” scale for this one.

Most of us watched Taylor Momsen grow up. She started out tiny and adorable in How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and then became the sister we loved to hate in Gossip Girl.

Momsen very much shifted towards the goth look in her teens and adulthood, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But the harsh black eye with her pale blond hair and skin gets a 7/10 on the “Washed out woes” scale.

The Osbournes are the perfect example of a family who doesn’t give a flying fudge what other people think of them, and Kelly Osbourne was very much raised with the same mentality. She’s tried all sorts of looks.

We absolutely love that about her, but like any other person, there’s bound to be looks that just don’t work — and this is one of them. The harsh eyes and oddly toned makeup gets her an 8/10 on the “Nothing here works” scale.

Brooke Shields has been a part of Hollywood for a long time. She started out as a child model and started acting as young as 12. The downside of being in the spotlight that long is that it gives people ample time to spot poor makeup choices.

It kind of seems like she slept in her makeup and decided to just embrace it the next day. Between the smudged lipstick, excess powder, and pale eyes, this look deserves an 8/10 on the “Nothing here works” scale. We still love you, though, Brooke!

Mariah Carey is a pop diva, and her look often gives off diva vibes. She’s beautiful no matter her look, including days like this one where she decides to go for a softer, more delicate vibe.

The problem is that her blush is much too light for her skin tone, and coupled with the pale pink lipstick, it’s like the bottom half of her face disappears. That’s why this makeup look is a 5/10 on the “Washed out woes” scale.

Doing makeup for celebrities is really tricky. Due to the intense lighting and flash photography, it’s easy to look super greasy and shiny. That’s why makeup artists use powder, but it seems that using a little too much is a celebrity makeup epidemic.

Actress Ashley Judd fell victim to this, which is a shame because the rest of her look is very simple and charming. That extra whiteness around her eyes and nose leads to a 4/10 on the “Pounded on the powder” scale.

Emma Watson has gone through so much growth since her days as part of the Harry Potter franchise. Little Hermoine isn’t so little anymore, and she’s also not afraid to push the boundaries of conventional beauty.

Emma has delivered so many looks that we adore, but unfortunately, this eye makeup isn’t one of them. It makes her eyes all but disappear, earning her a 4/10 on the “Eyes are their demise” scale. We appreciate the bits of gold mixed in, though.

Nicole Kidman is an absolute showstopper. Her big blue eyes and delicate features combined with her superb acting skills make her absolutely stunning and someone many people admire.

Like Ashley Judd, the excess powder came after Nicole Kidman and ruined what was otherwise a nice, soft makeup look. Nicole’s is even more noticeable, though, which is why this is a 6/10 on the “Pounded on the powder” scale.

Pamela Anderson is undeniably a blonde bombshell. She’s best known for her role in the classic movie Baywatch and her modeling. Her new documentary on Netflix has got us looking through her old looks, and this one unfortunately wasn’t a win.

The tone of this foundation is all wrong, the lipstick is too pale, and all that together with the black eye makes this look a definite miss. We love you, Pamela, but this gets a 6/10 on the “Nothing here works” scale.

Before Ariana Grande was super tan and embraced baggy hoodies with high heels and her iconic high ponytail, she spent some time figuring out what her look would be post-Disney, including what kind of makeup she would wear.

It’s not that this makeup isn’t pretty, it’s just that it’s a couple of shades too light for her skin tone, which leads to a 6/10 on the “That foundation don’t fly” scale.

Drew Barrymore has been through so much in her life. Her career in Hollywood started at a super young age and was full of adult experiences that someone so young shouldn’t have. Yet she pulled through, and the world loves her.

The world unfortunately doesn’t love this look, though. It’s impressive that the powder seems well blended, but it still just doesn’t look right. It gets a 4/10 on the “Pounded on the powder” scale, but wouldn’t even place on the “Botched-up blending” scale!

Sharon Stone is an actress well known for playing femme fatales — a.k.a. an attractive, mysterious woman who messes with men’s minds. She often has that appearance in real life, too, but not on this particular day.

We love the risk with the gold lipstick, but it just doesn’t go well with her pale skin. With her hair color and eye makeup, she looks like a Greek statue… and not in a good way, unfortunately. This look earns her a 7/10 on the “Washed out woes” scale.

Melissa Joan Hart was the daytime TV queen of the late 1990s and early 2000s. How can you not love her innocent antics in Sabrina the Teenage Witch? What we don’t love is this makeup look at the Frozen premiere.

We can’t quite place a finger on what’s wrong with this makeup. It’s just something about how it goes together that doesn’t work well, which gets the look a 3/10 on the “Nothing here works” scale.

Taraji P. Henson was the star of Empire and is a goddess among us mere mortals. She’s always serving stunning looks, but her eye makeup at this particular event just didn’t do it for us.

If you ignore her eyes, then this look is absolutely gorgeous, but her makeup artist really failed her in the eye department. Between the powder being too light underneath and the eyeshadow being a tad too dark, it gets a 6/10 on the “Eyes are their demise” scale.

Tilda Swinton has a very unique look, and it’s something that she’s always embraced and made beautiful. She doesn’t use much makeup, which isn’t a bad thing — but on this particular day, it hurt her look a bit.

With that shade of pink combined with no makeup on the eyes, it’s hard to focus on any part of her face. She kicks off the “That shade is shady” scale with a 6/10 for that lipstick choice.

It’s hard not to love Eva Longoria. She plays great sassy characters, like Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives and lawyer Sophia Perez in Brooklyn 99. It also helps that she’s stunning.

Unfortunately, she also had a case of “too much powder” syndrome, which means her eyes get a 3/10 on the “Pounded on the powder” scale. Otherwise, her makeup looks lovely, but the eye powder is so distracting that it brings down the whole look.

Another actress who tried out the smokey eye and didn’t have much success was Elizabeth Mitchell. Maybe it’s a good thing that her character Juliet in Lost didn’t have access to makeup.

Again, everything else about her makeup look is beautiful, but the smokey eye is a tad too dark and too much for her delicate features. That’s why it gets a 4/10 on the “Eyes are their demise” scale.

Ask people around the world for their list of the top 5 most stunning celebrities, and odds are Angelina Jolie would be on the majority of those lists. Between her and Brad Pitt, it’s no surprise their children are also stunning.

This is probably the worst case of powder problems we’ve seen thus far. It looks like her makeup artist just haphazardly slapped it onto her face, earning this look a definite 10/10 on the “Pounded on the powder” scale.

Poor Nicki Minaj makes the list again, but at least this time it wasn’t blending that was the problem. The problem is in the same area, though, making us question her makeup artist’s skills.

The whole area around her eyes is significantly lighter than the rest of her face, and it makes the foundation on her chin look like it’s too dark, which is why this look gets a 7/10 on the “That shade is shady” scale.

Taylor Swift not only makes great music, but she’s tried out all sorts of personal looks, each just as interesting as the last. This was clearly one of her sleek-look days.

If the photo had been at another angle, it might not have been as noticeable. Unfortunately, with this angle and lighting, the concealer and powder under Taytay’s eyes stick out like a sore thumb, earning her a 3/10 on the “Eyes are their demise” scale. Don’t come after us, Swifties.

Kristen Stewart has come a long way since her Twilight franchise days, but she still isn’t really known for smiling. That’s okay, though, because she only has to smile if she wants to! Smiling isn’t the issue here, anyway.

The issue is that the flat dark red lipstick combined with no blush and harsh lighting make Kristen look really pale, and not in a Snow White kind-of-way. That’s why she gets a 5/10 on the “Washed out woes” scale.

Like Taylor Momsen and Ariana Grande, the world has watched Miley Cyrus grow up and go through some rough patches. We love her no matter what, though, even with this makeup fail.

At first glance, you think, “Man, she looks absolutely stunning,” but then you see her extra-white chin that gives the impression she indulged in some powdered donuts before walking the carpet. That’s why this is a 4/10 on the “Pounded on the powder” scale.

Kerry Washington has been killing it in the television world lately. From Scandal to Django Unchained, we can’t get enough of her superb acting.

Her eye makeup and lipstick color are gorgeous and suit her so well, but the area under her eyes and her cheeks is a completely different color to the rest of her face. Her eye foundation gets a 3/10 on the “That shade is shady” scale.

Cate Blanchett is one of those brilliant actors that you’ve seen in so many different movies that it’s hard not to recognize her (beautiful) face. She’s naturally blonde and has a very fair complexion.

Unfortunately, something about the blush and lipstick color, combined with her natural complexion, just doesn’t quite work — although we can’t put our finger on what the specific issue is. That’s why we give her a 2/10 on the “Nothing here works” scale.

Rachel McAdams may not want to be known as Regina George anymore, but it’s hard not to see her as the iconic character. She’s been in loads of other great films, too, though.

While it’s nice to see her going for a simple, subtle look, it just doesn’t suit her and feels a bit “blah.” She just needed something with more pizazz and color, which is why she’s got a 4/10 on the “Washed out woes” scale.

Lisa Kudrow was blessed to have one of the most memorable roles on television — Phoebe Buffay in the hit sitcom Friends, but we’re not sure how Phoebe would feel about this makeup look.

The eyelids, cheeks, and lips are all the exact same shade of pink. While they’d be nice individually, it’s just too much when it’s combined this way. That’s why we’re giving this pale pink a 5/10 on the “That shade is shady” scale.

Kelly Osbourne is on our list again, but this time it isn’t because her whole look is questionable. She looks amazing with beautiful eye makeup and a cool silver hair color, but one specific thing is very off.

What makeup artist did this to poor Kelly? The poor thing looks like she should be a Simpsons character, not the stunning beauty that she is in real life. This tops the “That foundation don’t fly” at a 10/10.

January Jones is most famous for playing Betty Draper in the smash hit Mad Men, but she’s starred in many other movies, so she’s no stranger to red-carpet events.

We’re all for experimenting with eye makeup, but this unfortunately just doesn’t work. Her eyes completely disappear, earning her a 7/10 on the “Eyes are their demise” scale. At least the rest of her look is killer!

It’s not unheard of for men walking the red carpet to enhance their looks a bit with makeup, and more power to them! However, they need a makeup artist that they can trust to do a good job.

On this particular day, Bradley Cooper didn’t get that. Not only is the foundation darker than his face, but it just abruptly stops at his beard! This is definitely a 6/10 on the “Botched blending” scale.

Claudia Winkleman is a British television presenter, and while she sure knows how to rock bangs, she seems a little lost in the makeup department at this particular event.

This makeup took all the worst parts of early 2000s trends and ran with them — the big, messy hair, concealer lipstick, and smudgy eyeliner earn this a 10/10 on the “Nothing here works” scale.

Christina Aguilera has blessed the world with some of the greatest pop jams ever, and on top of that, she’s super pretty. She’s gone through a lot of different looks throughout the years.

You are beautiful no matter what anyone says, girl, but this makeup look just isn’t it. There’s like three different colors of foundation going on here, along with five shades of pink. It gets its own brand new scale, “Chaotic color clash,” and of course gets a 10/10.

None of us would ever describe ourselves as waking up in the morning feeling like P Diddy, but that’s because none of us are as cool as Kesha. It turns out that singing isn’t her only “superpower.”

This looks like she was going for an unusual superhero mask look, but the gold part makes it look like her forehead is just really dirty. This is a solid 9/10 on the “Nothing here works” scale.

Lindsay Lohan has been on our screens since she was a kid, although she recently took a break to look after her health. The fiery redheaded actress tried out something new here, with mixed results.

If ghosts were real, this foundation color would probably match their skin tone perfectly. It wouldn’t be so bad with a bold lipstick, but the pale lipstick and blush lend it a 9/10 on the “Washed out woes” scale.

She may be Jenny from the block, but Jennifer Lopez has certainly upgraded when it comes to style and makeup. Like most women, though, not every look has been a win.

While she does earn points for her eyeshadow perfectly matching the flowers on her top, it’s so pale that it makes her eyes completely disappear. So we’ve got to give J.Lo an 8/10 on the “Eyes are their demise” scale.

Remember Danity Kane? They’re an on-again-off-again girl group, and Shannon Bex and Aubrey O’Day are (or were?) members. Their makeup look at this particular event was questionable at best and not great at worst.

They both went way too heavy on the bronzer as well as the highlighter, making their faces literally glow, and not in a good way. The orange foundation gets a 4/10 on the “That shade is shady” scale.

Remember when Charlize Theron completely transformed for the film Monster? She looked like a whole other person. Well, she did the same at this awards show, but in a different, more “orange” way.

A professional makeup artist should be better at matching foundation to tanned skin, but it’s clear that whoever did her face wasn’t sure what to do. This foundation deserves a 6/10 on the “That foundation don’t fly” scale.

Like Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga has never been afraid to don looks so bizarre that the rest of us scratch our heads (remember the meat dress, everyone?). This one is probably one of the most confusing.

Was this actually a strange costume? Between the overly thick, smudgy eyeliner, and the randomly applied powder, she looks like she just walked out of a rowdy Halloween party. It’s a 7/10 on the “Nothing here works” scale for this one, Lady Gaga.

Sure, her name may technically be Leighton Meester, but we all know her as Blair Waldorf. At this event, she should have taken a page out of Blair’s playbook as far as subtle makeup goes.

It’s not that we’re against bold colors, but bold red lips and bold blue and bold gold eyes just don’t work together in addition to making her look paler than usual. This is a 6/10 on the “Eyes are their demise” scale.

Ah, the 2010s — the years of some of the best (no, that isn’t subjective) reality shows on television, one of which was Jersey Shore. We all enjoyed watching Snookie, JWOWW, and the others make poor decisions.

One such poor decision was the overtanning and thick, smudgy eyeliner, even if that was a common look at the time. While Snookie has since calmed down on the fake tanning, these looks earn a 4/10 on the “Nothing here works” scale.

The Kardashians are known for their flawless makeup and contouring, so whenever they make mistakes, fans are quick to catch them. That’s what happened to Kris and Kylie in this particular photo.

The main victim of foundation lines here is Kris, although Kylie’s chin is a bit questionable as well, which is why they get a combined 5/10 on the “Botched blending” scale. They were so close in color but didn’t quite make it.

Tori Spelling has been in a lot of films and TV shows, but her best-known role was in the series 90210. She’s also known for her iconic bright blonde hair. The main issue here is her blush.

The rest of her makeup look is actually very soft and nice, but the blush is too intense, especially paired with an intense lipstick — which is why the blush earns her a 4/10 on the “That shade is shady” scale.

Kylie Jenner is known as a bit of a beauty guru, even having established her own cosmetics company, Kylie Cosmetics. Her makeup always looks flawless, well… almost always.

Her face is perfectly contoured and her eyeshadow and lipstick are nice, but her face isn’t the problem here — it’s the contouring in another area that leaves her with two completely different colors. That’s a strong 8/10 on the “Botched blending” scale.

Kristen Stewart visits us again, but this time it’s not because she looks washed out. This time it’s because she’s fallen victim to the overuse of powder, like many other female celebrities here today.

We’re actually really digging the red eyeshadow, but the lipstick color is too close, and the scattering of powder is distracting. This look closes us out with a 5/10 on the “Pounded on the powder” scale!
