Whether you’re really into horoscopes, or simply read your astrology update for fun, it’s nice to know if your stars align with your actual interests—even in beauty trends. The new year is the perfect time to get out of a beauty rut, and dip your feet into a different makeup, skincare or haircare trend. But which one do your planets want you to try? Read on to find out.
Your zodiac sign: Aries Born between: March 21 – April 19
Beauty trend to try You love the bold and the bright and won’t shy away from trying a beauty trend that others might find daunting. Embrace glitter makeup this year—dab it on your eyelids on just the inner corners, or swipe it over your pout to try a glitter lip… whatever floats your boat. Trust us, this is a trend you’ll be seeing it everywhere.
Your zodiac sign: Taurus Born between: April 20 – May 20
Beauty trend to try You love things organised a certain way and are among the most reliable signs in astrology. Take the leap and try a set of natural-looking lash extensions this year. They’ll save you the trouble of applying and taking off mascara everyday, and help you look put together right from the minute you open your eyes. You know that beautiful, doe-eyed look that’s all over your social media feeds? That’s what we’re talking about—sans the lash glue, of course.
Your zodiac sign: Gemini Born between: May 21 – June 20
Beauty trend to try Geminis are known for your charm, and what better than a standout pout to channel that even more? With minimal makeup becoming the new norm, a bold mouth in bright coral, pink or red is the best way to take your look from day to night with minimal effort.
Your zodiac sign: Cancer Born between: June 21 – July 22
Beauty trend to try You’re patient and open to trying new things, which is why it’s time you invest in a gua sha stone or a jade face roller. Adding this relaxing, face-massaging step to your beauty routine not only counts as self care, but also gives your skin a glow that shines from within over time.
Your zodiac sign: Leo Born between: July 23 – August 22
Beauty trend to try Someone as open as you won’t shy away from giving the usually apprehension-inducing glossy makeup a try. Wear it as a wash on your lids or on your lips—it works on the runway, it’ll work for you. Make sure you’ve got your hair tied backwhen you start applying your makeup though; nobody enjoys strands of hair sticking to their face.
Your zodiac sign: Virgo Born between: August 23 – September 22
Beauty trend to try While you are a perfectionist by nature, you’re also practical and love simplifying complicated tasks. You’re going to love ‘skipcare’. Remember the 12-step beauty routinesmade popular by K-Beauty? Beauty brands around the world, especially in South Korea, are now attempting to formulate products that can help tackle two concerns or combine two skincare steps in one, making beauty easy and efficient all at once.

The perfect Engagement Ring For Your Zodiac Sign
Your zodiac sign: Libra Born between: September 23 – October 22
Beauty trend to try As a Libra, you’re happier doing something with a partner. Get your BFF on board and try a skin acid. It might sound daunting and your indecisive nature can tick you off it, but believe us when we say a lactic acid cleanser or a glycolic acid toner could be life-changing. Liquid exfoliators are all the rage now, putting toners back on the skincare map.
Your zodiac sign: Scorpio Born between: October 23 – November 21
Beauty trend to try People around the world are increasingly turning to Ayurveda thanks to the demand for clean skincare (like ubtans), and good fats in your diet (like your household ghee). Since you’re all about facts and only believe in something when you see all the facts transparently in front of you, it would be a good idea to take the tried-and-tested Ayurvedic routethis year and take care of your skin from the inside out.
Your zodiac sign: Sagittarius Born between: November 22 – December 21
Beauty trend to try If you’re a true blue Sag—aka enthusiastic, reckless and independent—the one beauty trend you should try in 2019 is lilac hair. It’s all over Instagram (and on Lady Gaga) and shows no sign of going anywhere, and you can ask your hair colourist to suggest a colour code that’ll work for your skin tone.
Your zodiac sign: Capricorn Born between: December 22 – January 19
Beauty trend to try Your hardworking and ambitious self will want to put in the effort needed to obtain glass skin, the pore-less glow that emerged from South Korea in 2018 and is all set to become the norm in 2019. Wondering what it really takes? Here’s your complete step-by-step guide.
Your zodiac sign: Aquarius Born between: January 20 – February 18
Beauty trend to try Since you’re one of the smart ones and love trying the buzziest products that promise to deliver, we’d say it’s time to get on the CBD bandwagon. CBD oil is now making it to the ingredient list of everything from face masks (for its calming properties) to pain-relief blends. Give it a shot (and no, you won’t get in trouble for it.)
Your zodiac sign: Pisces Born between: February 19 – March 20
Beauty trend to try First came the Koreans, then came the Japanese and now, the next country looking for prime real estate on your vanity is Australian beauty. They’re known for their farm-to-bottle ingredients, such as rosehip oil and kakadu oil, and the lesser known names are now finding mainstream success as well, following in the tracks of the beauty-favourite Aussie brand, Aesop. You’re the wise, artistic sign and we’re sure the good-for-your-skin unique blends from the Land Down Under won’t disappoint you.
