We'll be the first to admit we tend to poke fun at the ladies we see at the gym with a face of makeup. It just seems so desperate and of course we collectively cringe at the thought of all those clogged pores. 

But somehow, Taylor Swift made us forget our judgmental ways when we saw this photo of her on the way to ballet class.

We know her black winged eyes and glossy red lips are nothing groundbreaking, but somehow Swifty's new haircut seems to breathe a sense of freshness into her look.

And who are we to deny you a tutorial for such perfect Valentine's Day date makeup? And don't think you have to be blond with Taylor's skin tone to pull off this classic look. Almost all hair colors and skin tones can rock the black winged eye and bright red lip (even to ballet class).

Get the Look: To fake Taylor's luminous complexion, after cleansing your skin, apply a brightening mask like Sulwhasoo Snowise Ex Brightening Mask. Then, apply a radiance-boosting moisturizer like Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Radiance Lotion.

Once your moisturizer has absorbed, prep skin with a primer like Garnier Skin Renew 5 Second Blur Instant Smoother that will fill in fine lines and camouflage imperfections. Then, apply a lightweight brightening foundation like Rouge Bunny Rouge Milk Aquarelle Liquid Foundation with a foundation brush or your fingertips.

After applying concealer as needed under eyes to cover any redness, prep eyelids with primer or concealer. Next, cover entire upper eye area with a matte creamy beige powder eye shadow like MAC Eye Shadow in Blanc Type

Then, using a fine-tipped black liquid eyeliner pen like L'oreal The Super Slim by Infallible, draw a line along your upper lash line, starting it thinner towards the inner eye and gradually thickening as it gets towards the outer corners. Then, swoop the pen towards the outer corner of your eyebrow. Tip: If your line comes out too thick, use a Q-tip soaked with makeup remover to thin out your line. Now, with the eyeliner pen, line the lower lash line beginning mid-eye and draw the line to connect with the upper lash line eyeliner at the outer corners.

To get Swifty's glossy red lip, start by exfoliating lips with a sugar scrub or toothbrush. Next, line your lips with a bright red lip pencil that matches your lipstick like Illamasqua Medium Pencil from the "I'm the One Collection." Then, apply a bright red classic lipstick like Illamasqua Lipstick in Maneater from the "I'm the One Collection."  

Now, we hope Taylor's makeup look inspires you this Valentine's Day when you're getting ready for your big date (or fun night out with the single ladies). But don't go all Swifty on us and try to pull of this look at the gym. It could cause a little bit of "Trouble."
