How to Choose the Best Lipstick for Your Zodiac Sign

May 07, 2016

Choosing a fave lipstick is hard, we know — but what if we told you that astrology should be your guide? Sure, we navigate our future relationships and career choices by the stars, but when it comes to lipstick, the idea may seem slightly WTF. We’re here to tell you it’s solid (based on the actual science behind astrology). Your zodiac sign reveals characteristic traits about you, and because of that, you may be attracted to specific colors and formulas. It’s a whole new way to explore what your lipstick says about your personality. To that end, we’ve done the homework and found your new favorite lipsticks, dictated by fate ;) Read on to discover your new signature lippy.

1. Too Faced La Créme Colored Drenched Lipstick in WHAM! ($22): You’re a free spirit who likes to move around, and this nourishing formula will stick by your side. It stays put (even through a major makeout sesh), and the deep shimmery raspberry speaks to your inner wild child.

The Best Lipstick for TAURUS

2. Laura Mercier Lip Glacé in Bare Naked ($25): You like the finer things in life, and that includes your makeup. A champagne, high-shine gloss from makeup maven Laura Mercier gives your lips the luster and richness you crave, and the cozy color shows off your warm-hearted nature.

The Best Lipstick for GEMINI

3. Wander Beauty Wanderout Dual Lipsticks in Wanderberry/Barely There ($30): Your twinning sign calls for a lippy that matches your adaptable personality. So what’s better than a two-sided lipstick with classic hues you can switch on a whim? We love this color combo of a mauve-tinged nude for when you want to keep it casual, and a deep burgundy for when you need to go bold.

The Best Lipstick for CANCER

4. Tom Ford Moisturecore Lip Color in Scandola ($55): Your sign is all about security, and this lipstick infused with a moisturizing passionfruit core and conditioning plant butters feels super comfy on your lips. You’re also a summer baby, and this bronze, sandy hue flecked with golden pearl plays up your sunny and sparkling nature.

The Best Lipstick for LEO

5. Sonia Kashuk Knockout Beauty Matte Lipstick in Power Punch ($12): You love drama and being in the spotlight, so it should come as no surprise that a standout red is the hue for you. Packaged in a cool, artsy tube, this empowering, mango-butter formula is bold, courageous and daring — just like you.

The Best Lipstick for VIRGO

6. Rimmel London The Only 1 Lipstick in It’s a Keeper ($7): Virgos are known for being deeply analytical and striving for perfection, so this wearable icy-rose hue is their holy grail. The slanted shape means easy application, and the all-day moisture-rich formula stays on beautifully, just like you’d expect it to.

The Best Lipstick for LIBRA

7. Lipstick Queen Eden Lipstick ($24): This semi-sheer stick from Lipstick Queen will help you achieve harmony inside and out, which is what your sign is all about. The oil-soaked formula is rich in vitamin E and nourishing shea butter, which keep lips from getting too dry, while the glossy, apple-red hue flatters all skin tones.

The Best Lipstick for SCORPIO

8. Smashbox Be Legendary Cream Lipstick in Pout ($21): You’re super passionate and feel things very deeply, and this blend of intense pigments and luxe moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E will stay with you. Swiping on this bubblegum pink shade will show everyone you’ve definitely got a fun and flirty side.

The Best Lipstick for SAGITTARIUS

9. Buxom Wildly Whipped Lightweight Liquid Lipstick ($21): High-energy Sagittarius will love this lightweight formula that will keep up with a frenzied lifestyle. You like to reinvent yourself every once in a while, and this liquid lipstick will play along. The ultra-soft, whipped texture can be layered to look sheer or opaque, and the fuschia shade shows off your fiery personality.

The Best Lipstick for CAPRICORN

10. YSL Rouge Volupté Shine Lipstick in Pink Independent ($37): You’re ambitious yet practical, and this lip color from Yves Saint Laurent does it all for you with deep pigment, a six-oil blend for max hydration and a melting texture that gives super-high shine. The bright berry hue, aptly named Pink Independent, is your go-to for closing the deal.

The Best Lipstick for AQUARIUS

11. Sephora Wonderful Cushion Matte Lip Cream ($8): An air sign with a sweet side, Aries look for a featherweight formula and shade. This cushion lip cream from Sephora is made with shea butter for ultimate comfort and lightness, and the wispy pink tone is the perfect finishing touch to a soft, boho look.

The Best Lipstick for PISCES

12. Zuzu Luxe Lipstick in Ultra Suede ($19): Always kind and compassionate, you’ll be happy with this vegan, cruelty-free formula that protects our planet and your lips with natural jojoba seed and aloe. Wear it in this ultra peachy shade that suits your friendly, carefree personality.

SOS Gabriel Might Not Be In 'Emily In Paris' Season 5: "Not Fun Anymore"

Emily in Paris season 4 was the buzziest season yet, and for good reason. Emily's in Rome, Camille was never pregnant, and Gabriel's hair went from très hot to tragique. In addition to the viral response to Gabriel's new hair, season 4 left me pretty sad because after four years of waiting for Emily and Gabriel to get together, they almost immediately break up — and actor Lucas Bravo is just as confused as we are.

Carole Bethuel/Netflix

“The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in Season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take,” Lucas Bravo told IndieWire while promoting Mélanie Laurent’s Freedom. “As they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimizing and always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him.”

Honestly it makes me really sad that a character we all love so much is becoming unrecognizable. But at the same time, it makes me feel a little bit better, because we're not the only ones who feel like Gabriel has changed. And while Lucas has done what he can to bring those early-series aspects of Gabriel back, he says "there is only so much I can do in the limits of a script.”

Netflix

“I tried for seasons to bring nuances but we don’t have much liberty on set," he continues. “It makes me question if I want to be part of Season 5…because my contract ends at Season 4. I really want to see if Gabriel gets back to his fun, cheeky, playful, alive self. Because three seasons playing melancholic, sad, depressed, and lost is not fun anymore. It’s a comedy, everybody is having fun around me, everybody is jumping around, and I’m just slowly sinking into god knows what.”

Say what now?! If Lucas Bravo leaves Emily in Paris, I truly don't know what I'd do. Gabriel is my favorite character on the show! (Or at least, early Gabriel was.) Seeing him move from 30, flirty, and thriving to someone who's consistently in the middle of an existential crisis doesn't make sense within the world of the show. And even though Lucas thinks the show has a "lack of risk," he still loves everyone involved.

“I love the show. It started everything for me. I love the show and the people in it," he says. "With saying that, I feel like I am not being nice or grateful, but when you love something you want it to be…you want the best version of it. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been frustrated with the direction by character is taking. But we’ll see where it goes. The show is not over.”

Just like the show's iconic costumes are all about expression and fun, here's hoping Emily in Paris is able to bring some life back into our favorite chef. Because if not, it sounds like we could be nearing the end of the show's most popular would-they-won't-they relationship. Fix this Netflix, I beg you!

What do you think of Lucas Bravo's dilemma? Do you miss season 1 Gabriel? Let us know in the comments and check out the latest Emily in Paris season 5 news.

Your Spirit Internet Cat, According to Your Zodiac Sign

Cats rule, dogs drool (or so says the internet, at least). It seems that we’re all secretly (or not-so-secretly) cat ladies, attending cat yoga classes, buying cat furniture, and Instagramming our kitties — it’d be a crime not to share those cute faces with the world. But there are some celeb-status felines who fetch major likes for their adorable mugs and silly antics. We all have our favorite internet cats, for sure, but you may be missing out on some serious gems. We paired each zodiac sign with a popular internet kitty just to give you options (you’re welcome in advance).

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

今日は四角い生き物になってみました。 Hi! I am Square Maru.
A post shared by Maru&Hana (@maruhanamogu) on Feb 16, 2018 at 12:35am PST

Maru: This intrepid feline knows exactly what he wants and how to get it — namely, boxes and being inside them. It’s this same type of resilience and bravery that makes us love you so much, Aries. Neither of you know how to take no for an answer and often find yourself in situations (or boxes) where the only way out is to fight through it. We admire your shared determined bravery (and Maru’s adorable facial expressions too).

Shironeko: Lazy mornings, curled up in bed with a big cup of coffee, a good book, and a cute cat — sound like paradise to you, Taurus? You’re a confirmed homebody who prefers to be surrounded by beautiful things (who doesn’t?!) and enjoys spending time with loved ones. Shironeko is known for his happy-go-lucky, sweetly laid-back personality, seemingly always dosing in the sun or spooning with a friend. Sounds like the life to you!

Bonnie and Clyde: As an inquisitive, energetic soul, you totally get it. Sometimes, curiosity does kill the cat. And these two Himalayan siblings know a thing or two about getting into mischief — just check out the daily videos their owner posts on Instagram for proof of their mischief. This pair also represents your own natural duality, offering that yin and yang you need to stay grounded. These two poufs are also particularly affectionate with their family, and we know how much showing your love means to you. Go ahead; give ’em a follow.

Lil Bub: Have you seen a sweeter, more disarming animal than Lil Bub? Born with several genetic mutations that are responsible for her short legs and toothlessness (thus that perma-tongue), she put some serious Cancerian tenacity to the test as a baby to survive, and just look at her now. She’s a loyal, playful cat who loves her family and loves to eat. We figured this one would pull on those trademark heartstrings of yours, sensitive Cancer.

Lola Emeline: You’ve got a big personality and a penchant for drama, and this internet kitty can definitely match you for both. Lola lives with four brothers and sisters and rules over them all with benevolent grace (and a perfected icy glare). She’s definitely got that Leo fire inside her, as neither of you like being told what to do and both prefer to be the center of attention.

Lazarus: There’s no one more resourceful and brave than you, Scorpio — except, of course, for Lazarus the cat. This incredible feline was found lifeless, buried under freshly fallen snow, when he was literally brought back to life by his now-forever family. To show his appreciation, Lazarus is the most loyal, true companion anyone could ask for, even keeping watch over his owner’s side while he was laid up by a broken leg. Yep, we know it sounds familiar!

Honey Bee: Nicknamed “the hiking cat,” Honey Bee is an adventurer just like you, Sag. Honey Bee enjoys the great outdoors no matter the weather, bravely forging her own path (literally) through the forests of Seattle with her two humans, never letting the fact that she can’t see stand in her way. She’s an inspiration to anyone, but especially to you, since travel and freedom are at the core of who you are.

Nyan is a cat with a Pop-Tart body and a rainbow-colored trail, flying through space.

Fukumaru: With one blue eye and one gold eye, this Japanese cat immediately gives off an other-worldly vibe. And once you learn that he just showed up out of nowhere on his now-owner’s farm and has stuck around as her loyal companion ever since, that meant-to-be feeling gets even stronger. As a spiritual empath yourself, it’s a feeling you know well, Pisces. We have a hunch you two would get along very well indeed.

See Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie Reunite In The 'Paris & Nicole: The Encore' Teaser Trailer

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie created reality TV gold when The Simple Life debuted in 2003. Their antics were outlandish, but we couldn't help repeating their iconic phrases like "That's hot" or "Sanasa" during random moments in our own lives.

It's no secret the two didn't really act that way, but their 'characters' left a huge mark on a generation of millennials. "I knew what I was doing but the whole world didn’t, so it was kind of frustrating to me to be perceived in that way because it’s not who I am at all," Paris told People.

Even though she may have felt judged, it seems that Paris Hilton realizes how many people actually loved The Simple Life because she and Nicole Richie are teaming up to film a reunion special that'll debut on Peacock as we speak! Here's everything we know so far!

When did speculations about 'The Simple Life' reboot begin?

NBCUniversal Media

Peacock first shared a video clip on Instagram that hinted something special involving Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie is coming in May. A nostalgic TV set with a black and white screen can be seen while our favorite duo's voices can be hearing saying, "Sanasa, Sanasa."

Peacock captioned the post, "New Era. Same Besties. Coming soon to Peacock," and fans could barely contain their excitement. Even celebs like Naomi Campbell and Katy Perry commented on these hot vibes.

Bravo

Then Paris Hilton took to her own Instagram to share more about what fans could expect. She said, "As some of you may know, we are doing a reunion special to celebrate 20 years of our show The Simple Life and it's been so much fun."

Actress Selma Blair shared how much she's looking forward to this by commenting that she's "living for this."

So are we!

What was 'The Simple Life' about?

The Simple Life/20th Century Fox

The Simple Life showed Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie as they basically traded their wealthy lifestyles for 'everyday' living. Cameras followed them from fast food jobs to dealing with getting out of sticky situations they'd supposedly never experienced. Needless to say, it was hilarious, iconic, and instant reality TV gold.

How long was 'The Simple Life' on air?

Peter Kramer/Getty Images

The Simple Life was on air from 2003 to 2007 with five successful seasons. It seemed like it wasn't going to be hit at first, but it defied expectations. By how much you ask?

According to reporting from The Cut, somewhere around 13 million viewers tuned in to watch Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's oddball take on daily life. That's a pretty huge deal if you ask us!

When will 'Paris & Nicole: The Encore' debut?

Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images

Paris & Nicole: The Encore will premiere on Peacock December 12! The two were previously seen at a Sonic drive-thru yesterday so it can be assumed filming is underway (via People)!

Sporting partial Sonic uniforms, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie added accent pieces that match their signature flairs. Paris wore a pair of reflective sunglasses, silver sequin heels, and added a pink flip phone to front of her blue apron. Nicole wore gold hoops and a pair of slingback pumps alongside her hotdog mascot costume. That's hot (dog).

How does Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie feel about reuniting for a reunion special?

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Paris Hilton has expressed how much she loves to be sharing the screen with Nicole Richie again. "I'm so excited to be doing this with Nicole on Peacock. Nicole has been my best friend since we're 2 years old, every memory that I have is with her," (via E! News).

Nicole also posted a few throwback moments from The Simple Life on her Instagram, but the most notable one is the video mashup of them singing "Sanasa, Sanasa" over and over. "20 years ago, not only did we become television stars… we became song writers. Happy Anniversary Sill @parishilton #TheSimpleLife#sannnasaaaaa" she wrote in the caption.

What have Paris and Nicole said about their reunion special?

Peacock

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie sat down with W Magazine to let the world know the Paris & Nicole: The Encore show is on its way! Not only that, but fans can expect to see an Opera version of the show they fell in love with two decades ago. Paris said, "The idea of the opera was unexpected" while Nicole chimed in with, "What people need, even though they don't know it yet, is for 'Sanasa' to be an opera.'"

The two besties came up with the idea via a series of texts that started off as ideas between them. Nicole said everything "came up organically" for the two and we can only imagine the memories this brought up for them. OG influencer Paris even talked about how The Simple Life was an "important show in pop culture history" and we couldn't agree more!

Nicole truly wants people to enjoy themselves while watching Paris & Nicole: The Encore and "find the same joy" she had while filming it. According to Paris, she feels what they have is "magic" because "there's just so much history behind it."

It's not every day that you can get to have fun with your best friend while coming up with long-lasting memories that contribute to pop culture, but Paris and Nicole have always danced to the beat of their own drums. Now we'll get to see them in action again!
