12 Astrology Inspired Beauty Trends & Makeup Products To Try, By Zodiac Sign
I wish I had cheek bones sharp enough to cut. But I can’t contour for the life of me.
unsplash Makeup is an art of multiple genres and plenty of pain. Just like other art forms. Makeup is always changing.
Some trends I wish would go away and gone. Other trends I stick by no matter how outdated they are because that’s how much I love them with my frozen heart and...whatever has replaced my soul.
Of course, everyone has a different aesthetic and is influenced by different ideas and they translate into how we wear our makeup. So when something new comes out in makeup it's fun to give it a try! (Except for me because I'm a Scorpio horoscope sign who refuses conformity, I don’t have a set aesthetic.)
I’m always trying to find a new signature look. Sometimes, that means metallic silver eyeshadow with plum lipstick and, other times, it means nude or no eyeshadow with a barely noticeable pink lipstick.
I’ll do a popping red lipstick if I’m feeling bold or mascara if I really want to feel done-up. Some women prefer to wear no make up at all. And, that's perfectly fine.
This past Christmas I went with a wonderful drunken Harley Quinn look, created using red lipstick and eye makeup as well as all-natural, organic tears that I shed when my brother surprised me with one of my favorite presents.
I decided to create a list of products that I loved. Each has its own aesthetic. More importantly, each is suitable for a different zodiac sign. However, it wouldn’t be a crime for anyone to mix and match the mentioned products to create a signature look. You might as well go all out.
For example, when you feel like a night out because you want to cry in the club, you could prep your skin with Virgo’s product and even your skin tone with Capricorn’s product. Then, you can proceed to completely change your face using Libra and Sagittarius’ products.
Add in the organic tears and you’re good to go. Of course, this entire process is started after using Pisces’ product. And if you happen to be impatient or are intimidated by a multi-step makeup routine, you can always don't worry each product comes with a review on how to use each to make it easier for you to try out.
But for those of you who aren’t yet considering that step, scroll down to see which beauty trend you should follow according to your astrology zodiac sign!
1. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Julep Zodiac Nail Color Collection
Libra, your most flattering color is light blue. Libra, your most flattering color is light blue. You’re also not concerned with superficial matters and are more concerned with seeking balance in the world. So, when it comes to your appearance, you make your choices accordingly. The perfect gift for you is a set of nail polish in a light blue shade to give you a clean and orderly look.
2. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius, your entire identity is based off your eccentric and, at times, down-right rebellious lifestyle choices. If you’re the type whose appearance matches their personality, the Bite Beauty purple lipstick is the makeup trend for you. I, a Scorpio, used to use a different purple lipstick as my signature look and I can tell you that you get looks or comments with this trend. Bite into this trend if you’re into that kind of attention.
3. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer, being a water sign, you could really use a waterproof mascara. Not only does it keep your peepers beautiful, it can be used in different situations. From swimming to stay lean to crying over that useless lover. Your eyes will always shine no matter the moment.
4. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus, you’re a grounded and down-to-earth individual. And your makeup choices should highlight your inner beauty as well as your outer beauty. Not change your image completely because makeup should never be about hiding yourself. A brown eyeliner is the perfect tool to use to subtly highlight the beauty of your face while complementing your personality.
5. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries, you’re a furry and thick beast, but nonetheless beautiful for your strength. For individuals under this sign, I recommend Goof Proof Brow Pencil. This is a personal favorite. I have long thin brown eyebrows but zero makeup skills, and this product can help you, Aries, to get an even fuller look while preventing mistakes because of how the product was designed to function.
6. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leo, this oil will keep your naturally think mane-like locks picture perfect. Made from only the best oils ( marula oil and essential omega fatty acids) you can add a dab to your ends each day to prevent them from splitting.
Not only is it good for all hair types including kinky, curly, baby fine or long and short, but it's also light enough to not look greasy. We don't want our Leo ladies looking anything less than the super start she is when out on the town or being a boss girl at work.
7. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
I’ve always suffered from acne and I only ever see slight changes when I eat healthier or when my stress/hormone levels are down. But, even though there are periods of improvement, it never completely disappears and I used to always need foundation before leaving the house.
Nowadays, I almost never use it as I’ve accepted my natural look. However, my beauty guru cousin recommended this product to me in case I want to cover up my face again, but I think this foundation would make a great product for all you Capricorns since you need a firm foundation from which to go forward with your plans.
8. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Urban Decay Afterglow Highlighter
Sagittarius, your energetic personality and innate optimism already makes you vibrant. However, I think a reliable highlighter is something you should always keep as part of your makeup routine. A good highlighter shines a light on your beauty and increases the glow from your personality. As an archer, this is a trend you should shoot for in your daily routine.
9. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Makeup Revolution MyShine, Air Eyeshadow Kit
Gemini, as a sign that’s accused of always changing faces, this eyeshadow kit is for you. Make light of others’ comments and use this colorful kit designed with you in mind. Give yourself a new face everyday, literally. Show off your makeup skills, beauty, and sense of humor.
10. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit
Like I said earlier, I really wish I had cheekbones that can cut. As a Scorpio, this contour kit would be perfect for me if I knew how to makeup. However, my other fellow Scorpios should get this product because Scorpio is a sign of angles. Always looking at things from a different perspective, and with this product, others would get a different perspective of you.
11. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask
Virgo, you’re a clean and orderly sign like Libra. Even more so, actually. Being an Earth sign, rejuvenation is something highly beneficial to you. Use this mask as you sleep to refresh your skin and leave you with a natural scent. Wake up every morning feeling like a new person how the Earth always rebirths its beautiful foliage.
12. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
See What The Universe Has In Store For You
Pisces, my fellow water sign, of course you’re most at home in the water. So, I suggest buying a bath bomb. Baths can be one of the most enjoyable experiences you can have in your everyday life. Make it even more fun by using this bath bomb.
