The one lipstick you need in your life, based on your zodiac sign
Choosing a signature lipstick to fit your daily aesthetic is no easy feat. There are a few things to take into consideration before smearing a shade on your lips, blotting with a tissue, and heading out to tackle your day. Do you want to opt for a matte or satin finish? Are you looking for a bold statement color or do you want to keep it more subdued? Are lip stains more your thing, or do you typically fancy a bulletproof swatch of color that you can see from the heavens? While hue, texture, and wear are all very important parts of the selection process, what if we told you astrology could be too? You might not be thinking of tailoring your lipstick for your zodiac sign, but according to astrologer Lisa Stardust, you probably should.
As each zodiac sign has a certain personality designated by what the sky looked like when they were born, they can also have certain style preferences set up by the stars. You might find yourself gravitating toward different shades or types of lipsticks, and your zodiac sign may have something to do with that. To help refine your astrological lipstick-picking process, we recruited Stardust to choose some of the best lipsticks each zodiac sign will love. We must admit, we’re a bit obsessed with all of them.
Aries (March 21—April 19)
