Astrology makeup trend: Get a celestial makeover

It is not just about wearing makeup to look good anymore. It is also about expressing and showcasing your personality through it. According to a recent trend report by a social media platform, there has been a rise in Gen Z searches for astrology makeup. Many brands and creators, too, are seen embracing the trend.

Experts say the trend is popular because it allows Gen Z to bring to life the traits of each zodiac sign through makeup. “It’s fun, personal, and lets people align their look with who they feel they are on the inside,” says Shraddha Mishra, celebrity hair and makeup artist.

What is astrology makeup

It refers to using your zodiac sign to inspire your beauty look. People are picking makeup colours, styles, and even products based on their zodiac signs. For example, a fiery Aries might go for bold red lips, while a dreamy Pisces may choose soft pastels and shimmery textures

TIPS TO GET YOU STARTED

Aries
Start with a radiant, natural base and a pop of coral blush. Brush up brows for a wild but intentional shape. For bold eyes, use a graphic red or blue eyeliner. Finish with a juicy cherry lip to keep it fresh and fiery.

Cancer
Go for dewy skin with a soft, radiant finish. Use lilac or pink eyeshadow with a touch of silver shimmer in the inner corners. Add fluttery lashes at the outer corners for a doe-eyed effect. Blend in cream blush and finish with a glossy pink lip for a dreamy, romantic feel.

VirgoFor a clean look, use soft brown eyeshadow, beige or ivory lipstick, and neatly shaped brows. Go for a smooth matte finish and light mascara.

Libra
Use soft, romantic shades like pastel blush, peachy lipstick and lavender shimmer on the eyes. Shape your brows perfectly and use a glowy base.

Scorpio
Try bold kohl or eyeliner, plum or burgundy lipstick, and well-defined brows. Keep your skin matte and flawless. This smoky, powerful look brings out your deep and magnetic energy.
