Your Wedding Day Makeup Look, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
If you're stuck in a rut when it comes to your everyday beauty routine, rest assured we've all been there. But your wedding isn't just any regular day—it's your day. It's a chance to let your style, personality and beauty shine. One way to make it all align is by picking your makeup based on your zodiac sign. Between statement lips for bold Scorpios and barely-there makeup for grounded Virgos, every sun sign is accompanied by its own unique beauty aesthetic. Once you've narrowed down your perfect match, work with your makeup artist to bring it to life. After all, there's no doubt you're going to look stunning…it's written in the stars.
Aries (March 21–April 19): Rose Gold Glow
Embrace your fiery personality with warm-toned makeup that's just a little unexpected. The metallic pink hue flatters any eye color while also bringing extra intensity to your wedding day style. If you want a romantic and bold look, products like rose gold eyeshadow, a shimmery pink lip and some dusty pink highlighter will pull the look together.

Taurus (April 20–May 20): A Subtle Smoky Eye
You know you can't go wrong with a gorgeous smoky eye, but it wouldn't fit your personality to do anything too dramatic or over the top. A subtle, brown one will highlight your eyes perfectly. Finish off the look with long lashes and a swipe of your favorite blush.

Gemini (May 21–June 20): Sultry and Winged
Dare to be bold, Gemini. You're known for being totally unpredictable—which is why this look is perfect for you. The sultry smoky eye and dramatic wing will stand out against your wedding day outfit. Keep your gorgeous eyes the center of the focus by accenting the look with a light lipstick and shimmering skin.
Cancer (June 21–July 22): A Sharp Cat Eye
You have a reputation for being soft, sensitive and sentimental, but you do have a bit of a sassy side to you too. A cat eye is sweet yet striking, just like your personality. Pair it with some subtle shadow, and—if you're gunning for a retro look—a red lip. (Don't forget waterproof mascara—we know there's a high possibility you'll be tearing up).

Leo (July 23–August 22): Retro Glam
If anyone has a flair for the dramatic, it's you, Leo—but you know that already. You'll want to go all out (read: full glam) on your wedding day, and we're so here for it. Pair a shimmery smoky eye with false lashes for extra drama, and then top it all off with a bold lip. It's a look that may intimidate other people—but not you.

Virgo (August 23–September 22): Barely There
When it comes to choosing makeup based on your zodiac sign, the answer is simple, dear Virgo: Show off your natural beauty with a no makeup makeup look. While a barely-there style might seem simple, it requires attention to detail—something you're known for. When it comes to a natural look, dewy skin is the star of the show. Use some tinted moisturizer or hydrating foundation to get a glowy complexion. Then, lightly apply blush and bronzer, smudge some brown eyeshadow onto your eyelid, apply a few coats of mascara, and swipe on your favorite pinky-nude lipstick.
Libra (September 23–October 22): Lashes for Days
You're a true socialite, Libra, which means you'll love batting dramatic, lush lashes all night as you chat with your guests. Good news: there are so many ways to get long, fluttery lashes for your wedding day. Talk to your makeup artist in advance about how you'll rock the look. You can get lash extensions, apply some falsies, or coat on your favorite mascara.
Scorpio (October 23–November 21): A Sultry Statement Lip
There's no doubt about it: No one does sultry like a Scorpio. A fierce statement lip is just what the makeup artist ordered for you, fire sign. Opt for your most daring signature shade if you have one—or swipe on a totally new, dramatic hue you feel ultra confident in. Your bold look will capture the attention of every single guest on your wedding day.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21): A Bright Pink Lip
You're a fun-loving, fearless personality who never takes themselves too seriously. Go for something playful and unexpected on your wedding day by opting for a bright pink lip. Not sure which exact shade is right for you? Consult your makeup artist (they've got professional in their title for a good reason). Opt for a matte formula that will stay in place as you dance the night away.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19): All Over Glow
This sparkling look isn't just inspired by the fact that you're a winter baby. You have an indescribable "chill" factor, and you've got your own ideas about everything—even makeup (which is what people love about you). Show your Cap pride by applying shining highlight to the highpoints of your face, your decolletage, and your shoulders to give off the ultimate cool-bride vibe.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18): Purple Eyeshadow
Despite your demure nature, you're also an independent thinker. Rock a classic smoky eye but with a small twist: use violet eyeshadow. It's a polished yet eclectic option that fits your whimsical style.

Pisces (February 19–March 20): All Blush Everything
That bridal glow, though. Your slightly shy personality might cause you to get flushed cheeks occasionally, but—believe it or not—that look is a major spring makeup trend. You can embrace it by simply dabbing cream blushes or highlighters on your cheeks. Complete the look with a matching lip color and out-to-there lashes.
