There’s no better way to start the new year than with an uplifting horoscope prediction. And if you’re up for it, you might even consider channelling your zodiac sign’s unique spirit into a beauty statement that you can own for the rest of 2023. Here are six hair and makeup looks, with predictions from astrologer and wellness practitioner Serene Teo.

Aries, Libra and Pisces

1/6

These signs are always ready to dive headfirst into even the most challenging situations to achieve their goals. This year, you don’t have to make major leaps forward – take small steps towards success and make small positive changes. Expect an abundance of new opportunities in the months ahead.

Beauty look to try: When it comes to your makeup, take extra time to add a little spice to your everyday beat. Give your simple black winged liner an upgrade by drawing it in a graphic shape and adding rhinestones on the inner corner of your eyes.

Gemini and Aquarius

2/6

These two air signs often put the needs of others before their own, and the past year offered plenty of chances to keep busy by giving back to the community. It is likely that you were so preoccupied with caring for others that you forgot about your own needs. 2023 shines a spotlight on you.

Beauty look to try: This year, sport a pretty blotted lip (and don’t forget to speak kindly to yourself). Using a regular lipstick, buff the colour into your lips with a brush, applying a lighter pressure when you get close to your lip line

Taurus and Scorpio

3/6

They might be astrologically opposite signs (earth and water respectively), but they are both emotionally strong and resilient. Banish any self-limiting beliefs from your life, and stay open and curious. And hey, you might even meet someone special in the process.

Beauty look to try: If you’re stuck in a rut, this is the year to try something new like changing up your hair part.

Virgo

4/6

2023 will present uncertainty and change, but it’s all bringing you closer to your goals – so embrace it.

Beauty look to try: On those challenging and busy days, keep your hair away from your face and pull yourself together with a top knot. Incorporating a silver ribbon – your star sign’s lucky colour – isn’t compulsory, but it’s highly recommended.

Leo and Sagittarius

5/6

While these fire signs might share different aesthetics, what they do share is a discerning eye and commitment to personal style that brings out their confidence. This year brings opportunities for creative pursuits, so don’t just stick to your everyday look. No makeup look is too bold or experimental for you.

Beauty look to try: Recreate this artistic, diffused watercolour-inspired eye by blending pastels with a soft touch. Sweep blush on the highest points of your cheeks, and blend it up towards the temples to add structure to the face.

Cancer and Capricorn

6/6

They might be astrologically opposite signs (water and earth respectively), but they are both self-motivated and ambitious. To avoid burnout, do things that fulfil you and make you happy. Go out on dates, host a dinner party for your family, and hit a happy hour with some of your best girlfriends. Don’t be weighed down by responsibility and commitments in your life.

Beauty look to try: Let loose and do things that spark joy, like putting your hair in bubble braids.
