In astrology, there are three big signs that you must pay attention to. These are your sun, your moon and your rising. Each sign adds to the make up of who you are and how you present yourself. Your rising sign is often described as “the mask you wear” because it is the way you show yourself to others. It represents your first impressions and your natural demeanor. There must be some truth to the theory of using your rising sign as a guide to your appearance.
Simply Born This Way
You were born at a certain time on a certain date at a specific place which gave you your astrological sign. The aesthetic and beauty within you was predetermined, it is that simple. However, there is nothing simple about the beauty within you. Your rising sign represents the energy you are putting out into the world and your aesthetic, so it is clear that it relates to makeup and style choices.
Tapping into your rising sign for guidance in your style and make up choices will not only bring you closer to the most powerful version of yourself, but also shows you what your true colors are. Since your rising sign is connected to your birthday, therefore seasonal birth factors might create subtle biological influences.
Many of us might already be using our rising signs without even realizing. Our style preferences are unique to us and have been embedded within us from the moments we were born. Ever wonder why you go for the dramatic pieces, or why you dress more like a romantic? Your rising sign might be the answer to your wonders.
The Stars Above
Each astrological sign has a unique characteristic to it which is why it works well for your personal beauty aesthetic. The fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, are passionate and enthusiastic. These signs may choose to present themselves in more daring, dramatic and freeing ways. In comparison, earth signs like Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, are seen as more practical and sensible. Earth signs often do makeup styles that are more structured, sensual and flawless. Both of these signs are very bold in the way they present themselves.
Water and air signs differ from the other two because they are often viewed as more of the empathic and communicative signs. Water signs are Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces and will present themselves as intuitive and emotional. These signs will choose more of a mysterious, romantic and fabulous aesthetic. The air signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, show their true colors in intellectually driven ways. You will often see them presenting themselves in harmonious and experimental ways.
Written in the Cards
Aries risings, think of yourselves as Rhianna. Wear bold red lips, it’ll make you stand out and let people know you are coming. We know, red lips are intimidating to some but trust us, and Astra, you will rock it. Leos, you too were born for the spotlight. A dramatic eye and lip combo will work wonders for you like it does for Selena Gomez. Hailey Bieber is the inspo for many Saggitarius’. Keep the lips simple but experiment with the eyes and do lots of shiny sparkles.
Taurus signs should stay very neutral like Gigi Hadid and try the viral latte makeup. Go for a bronzy but natural look. Virgo’s embody the looks from their Taurus sister, Bella Hadid. Very Earthy tones that are in line with bohemian chic. Capricorns are very vintage style of femme make up with a bit of modernity that Olivia Rodrogo wears.
Scorpio signs never do the same thing twice and love to switch things up. However you should channel your inner Lana Del Rey and emphasize your eyes with full lashes and sculpted brows. Cancer risings should demonstrate their romantic side and bring out their rosy cheeks as much as possible. Pisces are the princesses of the stars and their makeup shows it. Use a lot of glitter in your eyeshadow and stick to glosses rather than lipsticks.
Gemini’s are Gaga’s, they like to experiment, be fun and dramatic while using different eyeliner and mascara colors that are not plain black. Aquarius’ are very similar and will also follow their Gemini air sign in the way they are all about experimentation when it comes to makeup. Libras are commonly known as the sign of beauty like Aphrodite. They are going to be intentional and monochromatic with their make up style.
