12 lucky makeup colours for your Zodiac sign!

You’re earthy and elegant – a glorious green goddess, if you will. Hew true to your Pocahantas proclivities by gunning for a sumptuous shade of sage. An exquisite emerald eyeliner – think Urban Decay’s deliciously demi-matte 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil in Street – will do perfectly in a pinch. Talk about Colours of the Wind!

You’re experimental in the extreme and incredibly inclined towards It-anything. Crisp citrusy colours are particularly pleasing to your palette, so go big or go home with lashings of a lemony lippie courtesy of say, Mac Cosmetic’s Bangin’ Brilliant in Gold Xixi. “Prosperous” puckers, anyone?

You’re a magpie in the making – sparkly stuff like silvery shadow is superbly in sync with your lunar leanings. My money’s on a moony metallic like Mac Cosmetic’s Eye Shadow in Print – perfect for smoking up your lids come sundown.

You’re lithe and leonine – and like the fabulous feline that’s synonymous with your star sign, you enjoy being the “mane” attraction. Tawny taupes are terrific for your temperament! Try brushing on a beguiling bronzer – think Benefit Cosmetics’ Hoola Bronzer – for a gilded glow befitting of a big cat slinking along the Serengeti.

You’re the smart and sensible #squadmate, with a pronounced penchant for the practical. No-nonsense neutrals like Maybelline’s The Nudes Palette, with its fusion of function and fabulosity, should be right up your beauty alley.

You’re flirty and feminine, with a predilection for pretty pinks and plums. Indulge your inner ingenue with a pop of pearlescence on the cheeks – load up on Nars’ Blush in Gaiety for size.

You’re the sultry siren with a deliciously dangerous disposition to match. Play up your provocative personality with enticing eyelashes in the blackest of black – try layering on lashings upon lashings of Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara.

Wallflowers to the left, please. You’re gutsy and gungho IRL, and coolly confident when it comes to colour choices. What better way to proclaim your presence than a sexy slick of tantalising tangerine on your lips? Product recommendation-wise, orange you glad for Sephora Collection – its Cream Lip Stain in the amusingly alliterative Mandarin Muse is peerless when it comes to prettifying your puckers.

Capricorns are ambitious achievers with unsettling undercurrents of gloominess that may render them enigmatic to outsiders. A textbook “goth” tint like blackberry or burgundy bodes well for the traditionalists, but a “wet” wine stain – think Nyx’s Butter Gloss in Red Velvet – one-ups the moody matte mouth of the Noughties. Bottomline: Berry lips are “berry” beautiful for us Capricorns. (Yes, yours truly is one.)

Aquarians have an astonishing ability to be wildly unpredictable, so a slash of shocking sapphire along the lids is just the thing you’ll be wont to pull off. A cool cobalt courtesy of Kat Von D’s Metal Crush Eyeshadow in Paranoid is perfect for smudging along the crease, and makes for a surprising spin on the standard smoky eye. 

Your piscine predilections mean you tend to gravitate towards gleam and glimmer – scintillating scale-like shades, in other words. Shu Uemura’s Stage Performer Glow Creator ought to be the “highlight” of your luminising loot – just a smidgen along the cheekbones will lend your visage a lovely lustre that’s very fetching and very flirty indeed.

Red lips are reliably rad for the Rams of the horoscope. Start small with a hint of a tint via Burberry’s Burberry Full Kisses in Military Red, which is beautifully buildable and voluptuously versatile – dial back the drama for day, and pile it on for a daring, date-ready smackers. #HuatAh!
