Red Lip? Mermaid Makeup? Here's the Beauty Trend That Matches Your Zodiac Sign

14/03/2019 - 07:21 PM

The zodiac sign can tell us a lot of things: what other signs we are most compatible with as partners [1], what our hidden erogenous zones might be [2], and even the style we rock best [3]. And , it can also give us a clue into what type of beauty trend we'd be based on personality. The great thing about the zodiac is that it tells you about your character, and you'll likely base your makeup off of that, whether you're more "out there" with your design (think bold red lips or neon eye shadow) or prefer a more relaxed, minimalist look (like a simple stroke of mascara). If you're wondering what your beauty trend might be, here's what Dossé-Via Trenou-Wells, founder of @KnowTheZodiac [4] and in-house astrologer for SexZodiac [5], says about it.

Aries: Red Lips

"With your birthday season right around the corner, your beauty trend has to do with being bold, being seen, and being powerful," says . A classic red lip never goes out of style, so experiment with the colour of passion and make a statement. Snag an awesome new red shade you've been meaning to try and play it up with a huge, confident smile.

Taurus: Cat Eyes

"You have a timeless and chic look, Taurus, and now that Uranus, Planet of Surprise, is in your sign, you may be ready to radically alter your traditional beauty style," she says. So, while you'd be something more classic, step outside your comfort zone. "Instead of a typical cat eye, for example, go for a graphic eyeliner design and create cubes or draw doodles in the corners of your eyes for a jaw-dropping look."

Gemini: Thick Eyebrows

As the sign of communication, your body language and facial features often do most of the talking for you, which is a great thing! "Focus on crafting strong eyebrows," she says. "Be bolder and more dramatic when filling them in, like an old school Hollywood cinema star."

Cancer: The Monochrome Look

Make sure your whole look is in sync, Cancer. "You may be known for your moodiness, but the monochrome look is the beauty trend that will speak to you most," she says. "Find a colour palette that speaks to you, and make sure your eyes, cheeks and lips all match for an unforgettable look."

Leo: Funky Nails

"You're a powerhouse, Leo, and this is an ideal time to create your business plan for the months ahead. Might as well have striking nails in the process, right?" Look into powder nails [6] (go for a bold colour to match your flashy personality!) rather than the usual gel manicure, which can be more damageing over time. Not only will powder nails last longer, but you'll be totally on-trend.

Virgo: The Minimalistic Look

You're all about the minimal makeup trend. "Smooth, perfectly matched foundation, a 'lil blush and a layer of mascara is all you need to effortlessly shine," says Trenou-Wells. As a Virgo, you're all about going back to the basics, so taking the less-is-more approach to makeup is right up your alley.

Libra: Eco-Friendly Face Masks

"Ruled by Venus, Planet of Beauty, you're a pro at letting your brilliance lead the way," she says, and that means you care a lot about your facial features, too. Investing in sustainable and eco-friendly face masks is your jam. Plus, it gives you that pampering you so desire.

Scorpio: Bold Eyes

Think Cleopatra and go for the bold eyeliner look. "You're known for your profound Scorpio stare, so highlighting your eyes is the ideal beauty trend for you. No one will be able to look away," she says. You're the "intense" one of the zodiac, so play it up.

Sagittarius: Bright Colours

You're a super fun and adventurous sign [7], so anything that "pops" is for you. "Go for bold and bright colours in terms of makeup and hairstyles, Sag. Allow all eyes to be on you as you steal the show with your vibrant and joyful beauty look."

Capricorn: Dark Shades

Capricorn is super ambitious and serious at times, especially with work, so they're more drawn to darker shades or a smoky eye. However, try switching it up this year for something different more fun. "Saturn in your sign is making you take life super seriously this year, so switch up your style to something flirty and exciting, such as neon eyeliner or eyeshadow."

Aquarius: The Anti-Trend Sign

It's hard to give Aquarius a "trend" because they set their own trends! They don't conform to what's hot, says Trenou-Wells. "Your unique nature may decide to go bare-faced and look great. Or you may blend two completely different makeup styles together, such as minimal eyes and dramatic lips. You create the rules."

Pisces: Mystical/Mermaid Trend

With the Sun, Mercury, and Neptune all in your sign, you'll do well with an extravagant, sparkly look that grabs everyone's attention. "You're ruled by Neptune, God of the Sea, so you should adopt a mermaid-like beauty style that's mystical and magnetic."
