Whether you believe in them or not, horoscopes have always been an entertaining way of finding a little bit of perspective. Sometimes, horoscopes reveal to us pieces of ourselves that we have yet to notice. Sometimes, they give us validation or comfort through our woes. And for times like today where we’re still figuring out our plans (and outfits) for the year, they give us a well of endless makeup ideas!
To help us along our journey of self-discovery and #MOTD inspirations, we’ve put together a list of predictions and looks you might want to try for 2020 based on your horoscope.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 20)
THE READING. Capricorns are known far and wide for their sense of responsibility and independence. This makes them amazing leaders with enviable discipline but can often be misunderstood as being stoic or serious. Luckily, all your hard work and methodical thinking will soon pay off as 2020 will be the year of open doors! You may experience more luck on goals you’ve set your sights on, but don’t let that cloud your appreciation of those that helped you along the way.
Towards the middle of the year, you’ll find yourself to be more empathic towards others, bringing you the realization that your happiness may be largely based on those you keep around you.
THE LOOK. Who said black lipstick had to look intimidating? With neutrals and black as your power colors, don’t be afraid to rock a dark lip, Cap! After all, this is your year. Try it out with Maybelline’s Color Sensational The Loaded Bolds in Pitch Black for creamy matte pigment that doesn’t dry out your lips. Next, tone down the statement lip with natural brows. The Luna Organics Brow Fix is an easy-to-use brow soap to fluff out your natural strands; simply spray the spoolie with clean water, rub it into the product, and coat your brows upwards. Don’t forget to let it dry for around 30-60 seconds!
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 – FEBRURY 18)
THE READING. Conventionality is a word unbeknownst to the Aquarius in all aspects of their lives, from atypical fashion to nonconformist freedom-centric beliefs. Driven by their sense of community, an Aquarius deeply enjoys being surrounded by like-minded individuals. With that being said: be careful. 2020 may be the year where you find your friendships and romantic relationships to cause big issues for you. Whether it be an unexpected shift from friend to lover or some friction between those you keep around you, it’s best to keep your eyes and mind open.
Despite this, you may feel this year to be rather light as you begin to see past your anxieties and realize that you’re more in control than you think. You may be inclined to seek out a more stable career path or, if you’re already established, you may find great opportunities at your current employment.
THE LOOK. With a bright year ahead of you, it’s only fitting to greet it with a sparkling lid and a radiant complexion. Smooth and conceal all imperfections for a gorgeous, even complexion using Ellana’s Loose Mineral Concealer and Foundation. This mineral powder foundation has the added benefit of skin-safe sun protection, making it an effortless way to maintain your skin with every use. Top off your lids with a Glossier fail-safe—Lidstar in Cub for a peachy pink shine.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20)
THE READING. As the last constellation of the zodiac, our compassionate Pisces has absorbed the lessons passed down from the other signs and has emerged with incredible sensitivity and empathy towards others. This emotional connection with the company you keep is your driving force for 2020, and while your imaginative mind will always bring you into creative ventures, you’ll find that relationships are what will define this year for you.
Romance will play a large part in your life this year as you begin to discover what your romantic spirit truly needs, but never discount the platonic friendships that you keep. You’ll find that surrounding yourself with the correct people goes hand-in-hand with your personal successes. Luckily for you, more of these people may come your way this year, whether through new friendships or the rediscovery of old ones.
THE LOOK. With romance hanging heavy in the air, you’ll never know when you’d need to put your best face forward. Luckily, this sultry pink look is easy enough to achieve while still showing off your flirty side. Toss the ROM&ND Better than Eyes in Dry Mango Tulip eyeshadow quad into your makeup kits for an effortless smokey that’s easy to bring around. For defined brows, we recommend the Rude Double Agent 2-in-1 Eyebrow Pencil and Powder—perfect for carving out your brow shape while still keeping it soft.
ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)
THE READING. As an Aries, you’re known to be bold. You’re passionate and courageous, but this fiery personality can get you so caught up in the moment that you leap head-first and think about the consequences until after the damage has been done. However, this 2020 could be the year that you go against your natural impulsivity and take time to slow down.
You may find yourself focusing more on inner growth and the finer details in life, but it’s important to pace yourself as you reflect on what you want to achieve this year. You’ll also be able to be more open with your vulnerable side, letting you develop even closer relationships with those around you.
This period of mindfulness may even inspire you to start laying down the foundations of an entrepreneurial venture you’ve wanted to try! But take care, as you may find finances to be extra erratic this year; always have some savings put aside!
THE LOOK. Because you’re more likely to go on introspective journey this year, we’d love to see you in a makeup look that reflects your natural beauty the most. Going skin-first is the best way to nail this look, so we recommend giving your skin an extra hug of hydration. The Heimish Artless Glow Base is perfect for creating a brighter, more even complexion that sits comfortably under makeup. Pair it with your favorite light coverage foundation and this lightweight cheek tint from B. by Banila for a fresh just-pinched look.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)
THE READING. A Taurus is known to be ambitious, loyal, and incredibly systematic—so much so that it borders on the realm of stubbornness. Be ready because this 2020 is going to challenge your flexibility in more ways than one. You may find your financial situation needing a little more creativity this year as you face various financial obstacles, so be wise with your money and stay on your toes!
You may also be feeling more adventurous—perhaps inspired to travel, master new skills, or shift industries. This year, you may also meet someone who may challenge your authority, so be prepared to decide who takes the lead and remember to commit to the role.
Romance may also be more exciting for you this year as you go through your more experimental phase, so don’t be surprised if you seem more daring! This could mean spicing up a tepid romance or finding yourself drawn to someone you wouldn’t typically expect.
THE LOOK. Hone your newfound experimental side with a bold new hue! The Rimmel London Magnif’eyes Shadow Jewel Edition is the perfect palette to bring out your daring persona with its mix of shimmers and matte shades. Ditch the nude for a gorgeous glistening emerald and slap on a pair of fanned out lashes to bring depth into your look. Sculpt your face to perfection with the Rude Fearless Face Palette to really bring out your favorite features.
GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)
THE READING. Geminis are often represented as two-faced, but that’s not necessarily the case. As a sign of many interests, sometimes all you want is to double yourself so you could pursue them all! Playful, curious, and outgoing, it’s no wonder you get yourself into so many passions—but be ready. 2020 is going to be a big year for you!
It’s a good time for you to start investing in more long-term commitments as you come to fully realize that you’re the head honcho in creating your own future. This realization may spill over to your romantic life; you may feel the need to reassess your understanding of your significant other and see if they align with what you want in life and who you aspire to be.
You’ll be challenged to become more aware of how you process emotions as well, helping you to confront self-imposed illusions and irrational fears.
THE LOOK. With all these transformative discoveries, your sense of style is about to get a major update! Embrace your creativity and try mixing some colors you’d normally stray away from, like this playful two-toned look. Try the Rimmel London Magnif’eyes Shadow Palette Rainbow Edition to add a colorful pop to your every day looks. Make sure to frame your eyes lest they get lost beneath the pigment with the Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara Super WP. These babies really understand how to make your eyes pop by lengthening your natural lashes and adding much needed volume to bring back definition.
CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)
THE READING. Cancers are highly intuitive individuals, which lets you easily read the energies in the room and adapt accordingly. However, because you’re so sensitive to your environment, you tend to become extremely self-protective. Luckily, this 2020 is the perfect year to embrace your sensitive side and project yourself with more confidence.
You may feel challenged this year, especially in terms of your work, but this challenge will help you find more joy in your responsibilities if you keep at it with an open mind. It’s time for you to get to know yourself better, but know that in this self-discovery comes the possibility of a dynamic change in your relationships or the development of a new one; you may experience either extreme happiness through these partnerships, or the courage to walk away from those that no longer aid in your growth.
THE LOOK. Don’t be afraid to be a little bolder this year! Kick your everyday look up a notch with a bright red lip and enviable bushy brows. As its shade name suggests, Passion is truly the name of the game; this instantly eye-catching glossy liquid lip from Milani is a wonderful option for a fully opaque lip that finishes with high shine. Fluff out and fill in your natural brows with one of our all-time Calyxta faves—Glossier’s Boy Brow. Confidence? Boosted.
LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)
THE READING. Ah, the Leo—the fiery kings/queens of the celestial jungle. You’re passionate, theatrical, and unfailingly loyal, but have a knack for getting yourself into drama and craving attention whether you realize it or not. Without question, you’re a force to be reckoned with, but 2020 seems to be a year where you learn to control that inner fire of yours and focus on laying some groundwork for the future.
Instead of short-term victories, you’ll find that working on yourself is of utmost importance as you focus on physical and mental wellness. You may also feel yourself begin to reach out to your friends more as you learn the value of mutual support rather than your tendencies to take the center stage. This year is also a good year for romance, but only if you make the extra effort! Take this time to lay down foundations and be ready for a sparkling 2021.
THE LOOK. Calming your impulsive inner lion/lioness doesn’t have to mean taking that signature effervescent energy away! Bring a little extra va-va-voom to a classic wing by giving it a fun minimalistic twist. This eyeliner from Rimmel London is perfect for creating precise looks, so hallowing out your wings will be a breeze. Finding colored liquid liner can be tricky, so we like maximizing our makeup kits with some bold liquid lipstick. Add a little stroke of color with Detail Makeover’s Matte in Detail lippie in Loth to finish this intentionally unfinished look.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22)
THE READING. As a Virgo, you’re known for your logic and systematic approach to life. You’re known to strive for perfection sometimes to the point of madness, but this constant internal struggle may just be what you need to bloom this 2020.
Your persistence this year will prove themselves worthy of your unrelenting effort, which may be seen through a breakthrough of artistic genius, a step up in your career, or a lover that you see yourself with long-term. This does, however, mean that your career and home-life may come into a constant tug-of-war, causing you to seriously reevaluate yourself, your dreams, and even your relationships. With all this happening, there may come a time where you will feel burnt out, but take that as an opportunity to branch out and find new creative outlets.
THE LOOK. With a glowing year ahead of you, it’s only appropriate to rock the same kind of shine. Give yourself a soft ethereal glow with the Physician’s Formula Butter Highlighter, then pair it with a gorgeous nude cut-crease courtesy of our Rude The Lingerie Collection Romantic Nights palette for a subtle yet sharp look your inner
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22)
THE READING. Libras are all about balance and aesthetics. The creatives are where you truly bloom, whether it be through surrounding yourselves with high art and intellectual conversations or excelling through the arts as creators yourselves. You’ll be putting that creativity to wonderful use this year as you venture further into your career, maybe even dabbling into directions you never thought you’d be in.
Your desire for balance and harmony will come into fruition as your home-life comes to a more stable, more solid, and happier state than you’ve experienced in some time. You may face big changes this year, such as moving out of your usual home, taking more time to travel, or potentially studying up a new skill.
Your companionship-loving personality may even find itself in a new romance, where you may find yourself in more control within partnerships than you’ve ever had before.
THE LOOK. 2020 is the year that you find yourself blooming. From what might’ve been a rough 2019, get ready to face on this year with your head held high—and makeup on point! Your eye for aesthetics may lead you to more daring looks this year, so why not try this playful two-toned blend? With tones of mustard and pink, this palette from Paprika is a great choice for creating this fresh look. Cap it off with a pair of glamorous falsies from NYX to bring the look together.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 21)
THE READING. Being calculating and enigmatic is a trait that everyone associates with you, Scorpio, but you’ll find that this 2020 is a year you let your repression emotions finally be free. You may find yourself itching for self-expression, perhaps through a newfound hobby in the arts or a stab at starting your own blog.
Your long-term relationships may develop even more deeply this year if you overcome your possessive ways and give one another more independence as your own people. By encouraging yourself to be less restrained, both with your emotions and with others, you may find 2020 to be a stabilizing year for you.
THE LOOK. Mix your desire for self-expression and the signature air of Scorpio mystery with this gradient wing! Rimmel London’s Magnif’eyes Shadow Grudge Glamour Edition palette is our go-to for versatile cool-tones—perfect for the ever-enigmatic water sign that you are. Blend its blue hue into the outer edge of your wing, then pair it with the metallic shimmer for a gorgeous gradient. Complement this eye look with AboutFace’s Claim to Fame Nude lippie stick for a warm nude especially suited for the modern Filipina.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21)
THE READING. With an adventurous mind, a quest for knowledge, and a knack for storytelling, a Sagittarius can easily light up the room with their magnetic personalities. As exuberant as your sign may be, this 2020 you may find yourself reevaluating how you connect with those around you. Focus on knowing when to let others bask in the limelight and you may find yourself establishing even deeper relationships (and possibly attract a new love) this year.
Your finances may be a challenge for you in the coming months, so be ready to test your adaptability! Your adventurousness in 2019 may start to take a toll on you financially, but your innate ability to learn quickly will be advantageous as you reassess your lifestyle.
Simplicity may be the name of the game for your 2020, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for boring makeup. This monochromatic peachy look is the perfect blend of minimal yet vibrant, the perfect look to easily transition from a bright brunch date to a fun night out with your friends. Try the WakeMake Watery Tok Tint in Carrot Water for lasting peach pigment, and pair it with Painted Cosmetics’ All-In-One Clay Blusher in Dessert for a natural-looking flush.
