Aries

The Ram | Fire | Red

Affirmation: “I am powerful.”

Get ready to: “Fantasy” by Mariah Carey (or the Latto remix for more energy).

Bold, brave, and at times, competitive, Mars-ruled Aries is all about action, energy, and being first. A chronic multitasker, go for no-fuss and straightforward skincare. Get that routine done in 15 minutes tops—we know you’re always in a rush. 

A fire sign through and through, your power color is red. But a bold red lip? For an Aries? Groundbreaking. Do something pioneering. Use that rouge on your cheeks and eyelids. Aries girlies usually have no chill, so this beauty hack is perfect on the go.

Taurus

The Bull | Earth | Green

Affirmation: “I am unbothered, moisturized, happy, in my lane, focused, flourishing.”

Get ready to: “Good as Hell” by Lizzo. Alternatively, “I Drink Wine” by Adele.

There’s a silly stereotype that says Taureans are the lazy earth sign. Objection, your honor!  Since when was self-care lazy? Taurus girls and guys know how to treat themselves. That’s all. Indulging in a sensory beauty experience isn’t a luxury; it’s an essential lifestyle.

Since you’re no stranger to the finer things in life, choose your beauty buys wisely. Invest in luxe yet dependable products that make your skin glow. And indulge in aromatherapy—you totally deserve it. As a fixed earth sign, you’re ever the brand and product loyalist. It’s hard for you to change up your beauty routine. But change is part of life. So dare to switch things up a little.

Gemini 

The Twins | Air | Yellow

Affirmation: “Variety is the spice of life, and I am a spicy girl.”

Get ready to: “I Wanna Be Your Lover” by Prince.

Sorry, so many people were victimized by unevolved Geminis. There’s this misconception that being the twins, you’re two-faced. And you know that’s not true! Geminis are fun and smart—the intellectual and emotionally intelligent zodiac sign. You fit in so well anywhere you go. It’s your wit, your versatility, and your fun-loving nature. Communication is your forte, after all, as Mercury is your ruling planet.

Do something fun and witty to show off your sign. Try a duo-chrome eyeshadow used as a highlighter. Two-faced, they say? Pop on a peel-off mask or splurge on a cleansing balm to take a full face (of makeup) off at the end of the day.

Cancer

The Crab | Water | Silver & Pearlescents

Affirmation: “I embrace and fully express my emotions.”

Get ready to: “just like magic” by Ariana Grande. Getting litty? “Stay Flo” by Solange.

As water signs, Cancers can get all caught up in their feelings. You have sensitive hearts—and maybe even skin? But that’s okay. There’s strength in sitting with your emotions. But boy, does it get draining. For sentimental Cancers, self-care is essential. So do something nice for yourself. Put your phone on airplane mode. Hydrate with an overnight mask, and light up a sweet-scented candle while listening to Ari.

And remember, it’s okay to cry. Just use waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Or make it an art form. Euphoria-inspired glitter tears, anyone?

Leo

The Lion | Fire | Gold

Affirmation: “Today, I am proud of me.”

Get ready to: “Levitating” by Dua Lipa ft. Madonna—two Leo queens in one song!

As the proud, authoritative lion(ess) of the zodiac, you know nothing’s more confidence-boosting than having amazing skin. Glow for gold with brightening, skin-plumping skincare. Also, do keep in mind that just because you’re ruled by the sun doesn’t mean you’re immune to its rays. So please don’t skip the sunscreen! Keep a mini bottle or a stick of sunscreen in your bag—and be your friend group’s reminder to touch up every few hours.

Leos have mastered the art of fierce and fiery glam. You’re the light of the party, whether that’s your aura or your glowy base. Don’t forget the setting spray. You want your makeup down pat for a good time and a long time.

Virgo

The Virgin | Earth | Beige, Natural & Earth Tones

Affirmation: “There is no competition ‘cause nobody can be me.

Get ready to: “Anything” by Beyoncé. She literally has a song called VIRGO’S GROOVE.

A wise and grown Virgo knows perfection is the ideal but not the standard. Never let perfectionism get in the way, and never let ‘em see you sweat. 

In beauty terms, Virgos live by “less is more.” Think French beauty or the TikTok-initiated “Clean Girl” look. It’s practical and elegant. But it need not be basic. The understated charm of a graphic wing tailored and perfected to your eye shape? Immaculate. The next time someone calls Virgos boring, stab them with your sharp AF eyeliner. 

Lastly, we know how tiring staying organized and hyper-analytical can be. So for the overworked Virgo babes, keep your eye cream, eye masks, and hyaluronic acid well stocked in your fridge—and use it generously!

Libra

The Scales | Air | Pink & Pastels

Affirmation: “I choose love and love chooses me.”

Get ready to: “Kiss Me More” by Doja Cat

Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Libras go all out on charm and romance. You love love. So wear your flirty heart on your sleeve—er, face. Balance a soft pink flush with some heart-shaped pastel liner. 

On the flip side, Libras may tend to be indecisive. Stuck between two (or more) products in your cart? We’d say listen to your heart, even when sometimes the heart says, “Why not both?” Just know that balance and harmony are key. Especially with skincare, check those ingredients and make sure the combinations mix well.

Scorpio

The Scorpion | Water | Black & Purple

Affirmation: “I don’t chase, I attract.”

Get ready to: “The Loneliest Time” by Carly Rae Jepsen

Scorpios can be naturally seductive and alluring. You don’t need a full face of makeup to look and feel attractive. But if it helps, nothing screams Scorpio baddie than an intense smokey eye. Just strike that balance between sultry-seductive and “don’t mess with me.” If the black liner and shadow are too harsh a combo, brighten up with purple, berry tones. 

You’re one to rock the morning-after look sexy as hell—but only if it’s intentional. You owe it to your fierce self not to sleep in today’s makeup, wherever you wake up. So here’s a friendly reminder: keep wipes in your to-go makeup bag.

Sagittarius

The Archer | Fire | Turquoise

Affirmation: “I shine brighter than my glowiest highlighter.”

Get ready to: “Hold Me Closer” by Britney Spears and Elton John. “Bejeweled” by Taylor Swift.

Being the warrior-adventurer of the zodiac, you’re not one to shy away from bold colors. You can twist a classic look into something fun and fresh. Forget black-winged eyeliner. Go graphic. Use complementary colors for a cohesive look.

We get how restless you can get, though. Don’t see instant results with your new skincare routine? Don’t toss out your new products just yet—remember, it could take a week to a month to work. Now, if you’re looking for a sign to dye your hair (again), this is it. The stars have spoken.

Capricorn

The Goat | Earth | Brown & Berry

Affirmation: “I’m not bossy, I’m the boss.”

Get ready to: “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton. 

Capricorns aren’t always career-obsessed, but they are disciplined and committed to all they do. Lean into your planet Saturn’s power: set structure and boundaries. Protect your precious me time. Schedule regular spa days and beauty playdates with yourself. Rest is productive, too. 

We know you work hard. We dare you to party harder—in moderation. Treat yourself to high-quality beauty products. Think of it as an investment and a commitment to your best self. You deserve it.

Aquarius

The Water-Bearer | Air | Sky Blue & Amethyst

Affirmation: “What makes me weird makes me beautiful.”

Get ready to: “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” by Harry Styles

Aquarians are well-known for their unconventional, rebellious, and open-minded nature. Head in the clouds, mind set on the future. We probably needn’t tell you to keep an eye out for ethical beauty brands. Don’t let your idealism get in the way of your skin concerns, though. It’s tempting to go all-natural, all-organic but also listen to what dermatologists are saying. You may do more harm to your skin than good to the environment. 

Makeup-wise, do something weird and funky. An asymmetrical look with bright metallic colors. Dare to defy gender norms. Get on the male polish movement—that’s nail polish for men.

Pisces 

The Fish | Water | Sea Green & Coral

Affirmation: “I am creating my dream life.”

Get ready to: “Love On The Brain” by Rihanna

Whimsical and intuitive, as the dreamer of the zodiac, you may already find yourself attracted to ethereal-looking beauty. Make any look more magical. Start with the windows to your mystical soul. Pack on a shimmery pink or a liquid blush on your eyes. Use the same color on your cheeks and lips for a soft-focused fantasy glow. Don’t forget the lip gloss. 

Pisceans are natural-born creatives at heart. You’re blessed with deep empathy and a delicate demeanor. Stay fresh by matching your beauty routine to your nature: be gentle and kind to yourself and your skin.
