I have always been interested in researching the characteristics of the various zodiac signs and trying to guess someone’s birthday based off of their personality traits. Another one of my prominent interests is beauty, of course. Whether you’re a Capricorn like me, or an energetic and eager Aries, this article has the answers for you.

Capricorn (12/22-1/19): The Capricorn is a go-getter always striving to be the best. A nude shade would work best to display how they always follow a routine and stay within a safe zone without taking too many risks. Try Mac Lipstick in Velvet Teddy.

Aquarius (1/20-2/18): The Aquarius tends to be daring and original. The hue for you is something out of the ordinary- an exotic blue or purple color. Make a statement and unleash the trendsetter that you know you are. Try Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Heroine. 

 

 

Pisces (2/19-3/20): A Pisces is known for their mature and sophisticated attitude towards life. They’re always looking out for those around them, and with that, a modern, up-to-date shade would be best for a Pisces. Try Lancôme Color Design Lipstick in Hit List.

Aries (3/21-4/19): Aries are known for their restless energy and bold personality. They’re very fearless and confident. A color that pops like their personality is perfect for an Aries. Try Mac Lipstick in Ruby Woo.

Taurus (4/20-5/20): The Taurus is known for stubbornly clinging to their own ideas and their intuition, paired with their drive to succeed, usually takes them far in life. They don’t like too much attention- a nude/dusty rose shade is perfect for a Taurus. Try BareMinerals GEN NUDE Radiant Lipstick in XOX.

Gemini  (5/21-6/20): Gemini are known for being spontaneous and curious. A fresh new hue would be up to par with a Gemini’s standards, not a color that grandma would wear. Try Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lip Color in French Kiss. The popping bubblegum pink will keep the Gemini young and fresh, like its curious approach to life.

Cancer (6/21-7/22): Cancers are known for their sensitive and nurturing personality. They are emotionally committed to everything in their lives and make everyone around them feel like family. A warm and cozy shade is perfect for a Cancer. Try Mac lipstick in Strip Me Down.

 

Leo (7/23-8/22): A Leo is known for having lots of pride in itself and leading the crowd. They’re associated with the lion for this reason- they stubbornly do not change their ways of being for others, but rather others must follow their lead. A coral-orangey color with a shimmery/metallic finish is perfect for a Leo to draw in attention from potential followers to let them do their job at leading. Try Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Wildfire.

Virgo (8/23-9/22): A Virgo is known for its organized efficiency and analytic intelligence with every task in life. A pink shade that is precise for everyday application is perfect for you. Try Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Crush. 

Libra (9/23-10/22): A Libra is known for trying to make everyone around them happy. They like to live a peaceful life and with that, a baby pink would complement their dreamy personality. Try Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Armageddon (a cotton candy pink).

Scorpio (10/23-11/21): A Scorpio is known for its independence and extremism. They make a big deal out of something thrown at them, and with that, a black cherry shade would be perfect for a Scorpio to show their independence and extreme attitude used when they have to fight for something. Try Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Motorhead.

Sagittarius (11/22-12/21): A Sagittarius is known for being adventurous and full of energy. They’re always willing to try new things and welcome others with their bubbly personality. A bright pink shade that will let your smile brighten a room along with your bubbly personality is perfect. Try Nars Audacious Lipstick in Stefania.
