Beauty Tricks Based On Your Zodiac Sign

by Erin Reimel

The way the stars were aligned on the day you were born can say a lot about you and your personality. The order of the planets all those years ago can be referenced for pretty much everything — from your love life, to insightful beauty tricks to try when going out. Depending on your personality, you may need to branch out and try a new beauty trend, or even chill for a bit after your fun night out to relax and take care of yourself.

For creative signs, shadow palettes that let you play with new looks are always a good option to let those artistic juices flow. The confident, courageous signs can amp up their look with a little extra volume in their hair, so they're sure to have all eyes on them when they walk into a room. And of course, those signs who spend all of their time pleasing their friends and family should prepare for their nights out with some warm water and a luxurious bubble bath, letting all their worries wash down the drain.

No matter what your sign is, there are always fun beauty tricks to try out and new ways to pamper yourself. Depending on how you feel personally, one might work better for you than another. So take a look and see what might make you feel totally glamorous. You deserve it, after all.

The Aries sign is known for having a fiery personality. They're usually the leaders of the group — getting the spark going, which is why this smokey palette works for the natural leader of the zodiac. Its six high pigment colors create a strong smokey eye, but they also allow the Aries to mix her look up, trying futuristic eyeshadow combos that set the trends.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21): Tweak Routine With Shimmer Neutrals

The Smashbox Full Exposure palette is one of the most luxurious ways to try this new look out, and it includes a chart explaining how to replicate six versatile looks with the new shades. That's a must, as stubborn Tauruses tend to rely on themselves when learning new tricks.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21): Give Restless Spirit A Break In Exotic Masks

Because the Gemini is known for versatility — trying out new and diverse things all the time— these eleven masks will hold their interest. Packed with amazing ingredients like tea tree for soothing, broccoli for vitality, and seaweed for purification, these masks will finally help them sit still.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22): Shift Focus To Yourself With Shea Butter

The Cancer woman is usually seen as the one who cares for the group. She's always looking out for other people, often forgetting to recuperate herself. Thirty minutes in the tub with the L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Foaming Bath is exactly what she needs to really enjoy some "me time." The bubble bath's rich texture lathers up and envelopes her with shea butter to sooth and moisturize her skin while all of her anxieties melt away.

Leo (July 23 - August 21): Embrace Inner Lioness With Wild Texture

The lioness of the zodiac deserves to have a gorgeous mane the next time she's out. Pump up the volume with the Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Texture & Volume Spray, and all eyes will be on that amazing hair. Leos are confident and charismatic, so a little volume is not enough — they were born to rock some seriously tousled hair. This spray has zeolite, a volcanic mineral to improve hair quality, and keratin proteins to smooth for flexible texture that won't feel crunchy.

Virgo (August 22 - September 23): Bring Precision Into Pore Treatment

GLAMGLOW Super-Mud Clearing Treatment, $35, Amazon

A Virgo is known for extreme attention to precision and detail, leaving no rock unturned, so her skincare should be no different. This GLAMGLOW Super-Mud Clearing Treatment has glycolic acid to repair damaged skin and improve texture, salicylic acid to clear out and minimize pores, and lactic acid to improve pigmentation and add moisture. Once she puts this mask on, it's time to chill. Virgos can have a hard time sitting still, so a bit of relaxation after a hard night out is exactly what she needs.

Libra (September 24 - October 23): Aim For Total Lip Color Harmony

The Libra focuses on finding harmony and balance in all things. By indulging in all the essential lip color shades in the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss Set, the Libra can pick their ideal color when puckering up, every time. The eight colors look amazing together (keeping that harmony intact), but on their own, they pack a real punch — rocking the boat just enough. Each gloss has jojoba seed oil (containing vitamin E for soft, hydrated lips), which means when the Libra shifts her focus to romantic relationships (as she often can do), she won't have to worry about dry lips.

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22): Get Creative With New Eye Looks

Morphe Multi Color Matte Eyeshadow Palette, $21, Amazon

A Scorpio woman is filled with creative energy that she needs to let out. Good thing the Morphe Multi Color Matte Eyeshadow Palette has 35 super pigmented shadows to let the Scorpio's artistic side run wild. She's a complex kind of girl, so this much variety lets her try a dramatic smoky eye one day and then a vibrant rainbow look the next. Users love how buttery these shadows are, so they're easy to blend and fun to experiment with.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 22): Protect Skin While Adventuring

Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20, $34, Amazon

For the outdoorsy Sagittarius, the water resistant, skin-protecting Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 is great for a day filled with tons of activity — especially following a long night out. The Sagittarius doesn't like to be held back, so a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF is a match made in makeup heaven. It offers coverage for dark circles and breakouts, while still letting natural beauty shine through.

Capricorn (December 23 - January 20): Cautiously Test Out Mega Volume

PHYTO Instant Volume Travel Set, $22, Amazon

Capricorns are always looking for ways to save money, and they're hesitant to commit to anything before testing it out. Luckily, this PHYTO Instant Volume Travel Set is a great option for the Capricorn who wants to (safely) test out a new look before going out. This set is affordable and small enough for her to try each product before jumping into buying a full size. Plus, the guajana extract gives her hair plenty of moisture and adds extra volume, in case she's stuck in a flat hair rut. With these travel sizes, maybe she'll step out of her comfort zone and be inspired to take an impromptu trip.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 19): Flaunt Confident Side In Glitter Nails

The Essie Luxeffects Top Coat attracts attention on nights out dancing with friends (or even trips to trendy art exhibits when she lets her creative side show). She'll be met with all kinds of compliments with these glittering nails. Users love that they can layer it on top of another polish as a topcoat or add a few layers for a totally opaque glitter finish.

Pisces (February 20 - March 20): Dream On In Shimmer, Cloud-like Shadows
