THE PERFECT SHADES FOR YOUR SUN SIGN

August 27, 2019

We love thinking about how the cosmos influence and shape our lives. Combine the magic of the stars with our love of beauty, and we're so here for it. 

We matched our shadows to your sun sign (the position of the sun when you were born), but if you resonate more with your moon sign or rising sign, those can fit too! If you haven't learned about either, that's a whole other ether for you to dive into! Start by calculating your birth chart, then look up your moon and rising signs individually. 

So let's get started on how we can paint our lids (and our lives) with the magic of the stars. 

ARIES: MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

Your color: red

As the first sign of the Zodiac, you blaze the trail. And we mean literally blaze. Your color is red because you’re ablaze with fire – a passion to achieve the life you envision. Your ruling planet, Mars, ‘The Red Planet’, is the most eye-catching color, just like you. You can’t help but draw attention with your energy, excitement, and strong point of view.  

Your Palette: Summer Solstice Palette

Your shades are rich, dramatic, and eye-catching - hues of red to stir your soul and enhance your natural luster. Ruby infusions further awaken that fiery, passionate spirit within.

TAURUS: APRIL 21 TO MAY 20

Your color: pink

You’re the anchor in the zodiac, and the same is true in your life. You’re blessed with lifelong friendships and partnerships thanks to your honest, trustworthy, and drama-free nature. You work hard but also thoroughly enjoy the fruits of your labor. Ruled by the feminine planet, Venus, you love to indulge in the luxurious, the sensual, and the transformative. Your spirit color is pink, symbolizing the feminine energy that you are.

Your Palette: Rose Quartz Crystal Gemstone Palette

Honoring your spirit color, these shades are soft, romantic, and oh-so indulgent. Rose Quartz crystals deepen your connection to your heart’s desires.
