What’s your sign? We’ve got your lucky eyeshadow color. Try a new makeup look and improve your life at the same time by choosing makeup colors that mesh with your zodiac sign. Astrology guru, Michele Bernhardt, founder of MyInnerWorld.com shares advice on what eyeshadow colors a woman of your sign should wear. And why follow this advice, you may ask? She claims wearing the suggested colors can add balance to your life—who couldn’t use more of that?
Aries
Your best eyeshadow color is: Red
One to try: Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow in Heat, $18
Why: This color signifies passion, strength and courage. Wear it to increase your strength, energy and vitality when beginning something new or initiating action.
How to wear it: Apply vibrant red shadow over a neutral or gray shadow to tone down the brightness. And be sure to apply eye drops if necessary first; you don’t want the red shadow to highlight red eyes (and believe us, it will).
Taurus
Your best eyeshadow color is: Green
One to try: Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100 percent Natural Origin Eye Shadow Duo in Green Eyes Organics, $7.95
Why: This color rejuvenates the spirit. It resonates with stability and healing and gives you balance of strength and substance. Wearing it helps heal the body and attract wealth and prosperity.
How to wear it: MAC Pro artist Jennifer Karsten says: “Try taking an olive [green] and sweeping it on the eyelids and lower lash lines around a [black] fully lined eye for a smoky look.”
Gemini
Your best eyeshadow color is: Yellow
One to try: L’Oreal Paris HiP Bright Shadow Duos in Flamboyant, $6.99
Why: Energizing and stimulating, this is a color filled with radiance and light. It has the ability to lift your spirits. Wearing it increases your memory and communication skills.
How to wear it: “Bright sunshine yellow can be beautiful as a pop of color on inner corners of eyes and lids. Finish with a smoky black [outer] corner,” says Karsten.
Cancer
Your best eyeshadow color is: Pink
One to try: Bobbi Brown Metallic Eye Shadow in Pink Pearl, $20
Why: This color inspires love and can be worn in times of change or transition. It is also a good color to wear when you’re in need of emotional healing. Wearing it opens the heart and increases receptivity.
How to wear it: “To avoid the ‘bunny rabbit effect,’ keep pinks on the ‘icy’ side with a bit of white in them. Try a soft rose shade with a more muted tone as a natural wash of color all over lids and into crease and keep the lashes ‘starry eyed’ with a light [coat of] mascara,” says Karsten.
Leo
Your best eyeshadow color is: Orange
One to try: MAC Eye Shadow in Orange, $14.50
Why: This color resonates with power and greatness. Wearing it increases joy and optimism and also assists in aligning you with riches and your position in life.
How to wear it: Try wearing orange as eyeliner for a subtle pop. Wet a thin, flat brush and draw a line of orange powder shadow along upper lash lines.
Virgo
Your best eyeshadow color is: Royal blue
One to try: Josie Maran Eye Shadow in Magic (a shimmery gray navy), $20
Why: This color resonates with beauty, purity, and wisdom. It helps ease tension and promotes tranquility. Wearing blue opens the mind and encourages patience and eloquence.
How to wear it: Royal or navy blue is great worn as a liner since it helps make eyes look whiter. Or go all out by wearing a matching dark blue mascara or doing a blue smoky eye.
Libra
Your best eyeshadow color is: Light blue
One to try: Nars Single Eyeshadow in Heart of Glass, $22
Why: This color signifies love, beauty and balance. It embodies the essence of peace and serenity while inspiring you to be strong and take decisive action. Wearing it promotes balance and a sense of well-being.
How to wear it: Try sweeping light blue shadow on your lids and pairing it with a sheer white or silver shadow blended under the brow bone. This “ice princess” look is great for a party.
