Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Rebellious, sure. Innovative, always. Boring? Never. Contrary to its prefix, Aquarius is actually an Air sign. These visionaries march to the beat of their own drum, bringing their unique creativity and eccentricity to the world of makeup. For Aquarians, a one-of-a-kind gilded expression may satiate their thirst for the new, from gold pigment on the cheeks to flicks of shimmering eyeliner and a gleaming, magnifying mouth.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces is a Water sign ruled by Neptune in modern astrology, a planet that symbolizes dreams and imagination. They are also represented by two fish swimming in directly opposite directions, symbolizing their adaptability in navigating both real life and fantasy. High-intensity highlighters are the perfect way to channel your inner Pisces and anchor a canvas captivated by otherworldly shimmers. Simply sweep them across the high points of the face, from the tops of cheekbones and brow bones to the bridge of the nose, and even the center of the eyelids. 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Ruled by Mars, the fiery red planet known to ignite Aries’ inner warrior, Aries are known to be natural-born leaders. This Fire sign’s daring spirit and dynamic personality call for a look that channels their excitement, energy, and exuberance. Symbolized by the ram, Aries should dive headfirst into radiant looks that mimic their confidence and command attention. Think bold, bright bronzer that sculpts the canvas for a perfectly sun-kissed glow, wherever they go. 

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) 

Taureans are an Earth sign defined by their steady, serene personalities, albeit a bit hard-headed, like the bull they represent. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, a Taurus is always on the hunt for an astral aesthetic appreciation, from soft textures to soothing shades. The only answer to quench their romantic thirst (and avoid seeing red) is to adorn their canvas with pink. Think boundless bright blush, whether it’s carved from the apples of the cheeks to the temples or dotted on the nose for a fresh flush effect. 

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
 

Symbolized by the celestial twins from Greek mythology, Gemini’s dual nature is as versatile as it is adaptable. Their effortless navigation in all facets of life means they entertain with ease and can keep up with everything thrown their way. Allergic to routine and searching for spontaneity and stimulation in everything from conversations to cosmetics, a multidimensional pout that mirrors their duality is just what they’re looking for. For double the fun, reach for lipstick kits to create dimensional and dramatic ombré lip looks. 

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Ruled by the moon, this celestial crab sign is guided to create comforting and cozy spaces that mimic a crustacean shell. Their compassionate nature fosters strong connections with others, making them the perfect person to lend an ear or offer a shoulder to cry on. And just like their emotional intelligence shines, so does their creative capacity. Just give this Water sign a brush, their favorite cool-toned eye shadows from colorful eye palettes, and watch them craft waves of makeup masterpieces across their lids.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

The spotlight called, and fiery Leos dutifully answered the call. Represented by the one and only king (or queen) of the jungle, the lion(ess), this sign is known for their theatrical tendencies, divine drama, and showstopping strength. Luckily for everyone in the pack, Leos are fiercely loyal and wear their hearts on their sleeves. Leos should lean into a red carpet rouge, aka a dark red lip color that’s the perfect passionate pout to match their lavish and luxe taste.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

A perfectionist at heart, Virgo’s practical personality is rooted in impressive problem-solving skills. Tuned into all the details, Virgos are masters at turning the chaotic into the calm, the messy into the methodical, and the panicked into the planned. The only suitable optic option for this Earth sign comes from the precision of an eye pencil that satisfies their meticulous minds. From striking lines to sharp colors, flawless is their love language. 

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Like the scales of balance that represent them, Libras thrive on equilibrium, extending this environment to everything they love, from their friendships to their fashion. As the mediators in the group chat, this Air sign floats in gracefully and adds a helping of harmony to every interaction. Their tempered nature may be tempted to please everyone around them, but the key to a Libra’s heart and beauty bag is symmetry. For a canvas that feels complete, opt for a foundation that’s both elegant and effortless, offering a divinely dewy, natural complexion. 

 

Scorpio (October 24 – November 21)

Unabashedly mysterious and undeniably magnetic, Scorpios are a Water sign powered by their determination and dedication. Their intuitive nature is nothing short of intriguing, often reading a room before everyone even walks in. For Scorpios’ sake, allow them to strike in a biting way with an opaque lip that captures their shadowy side. Simply shop lipstick shades in noir and use lipstick kits featuring lip pencils to add depth before sealing in vivid color.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Governed by Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, Sagittarius may be a bit brazen and bold, but their quest for exploration aligns with their wild wanderlust. Like the archer that represents them, this Fire sign’s thirst for knowledge knows no bounds, pushing them to uncover uncharted territory. Embrace adventurous artistry with an eye-catching lash look. Ready to roam, over-the-top flutters are the perfect plus-one for this thrill-seeking spirit. 

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

When it comes to traversing through steep deadlines and previously thought impossible tasks, Capricorns step in to save the day. These doers balance their Earth sign with their sea goat symbol to stay grounded and focused on the project ahead. With one eye on the clock and the other on the mirror, Capricorns are excellent makeup multitaskers, turning eye shadows into a smoldering smokey eye without missing a beat.
