The Best Makeup for Your Zodiac Sign: Pisces Edition

It’s time to celebrate all the pretty Pisces whose birthdays fall between February 1 and March 20! This month’s zodiac sign makeup profile has been customized and inspired by your set-by-the stars personality traits, and let me tell you, babes of all signs are going to want to recreate this dreamy look. Heading in a whole new direction from the royal blue smokey eye featured in our Aquarius zodiac makeup tutorial, this Pisces-inspired look falls into a light, luminous realm that focuses on healthy-looking, glowing skin. We called in a friend of ours, the beautiful Justine Sharifi, co-founder of Perform for Life, whose world revolves around health, to set the tone for this glowing look! Beauty begins with the skin for this Piscean babe, so grab the best juice recipe for your zodiac sign to set the tone, and then read on for this month’s star-styled look!

Pisces are known as the chameleon of the zodiac for their ability to go with the flow of life. The two opposing fish positioned away from one another are a clear symbol of the duality a Piscean possesses in her highly intuitive, compassionate demeanor. This well-loved beauty tends to be of service to those around her. Her contagious joy emanates from below the surface, exposing an inner beauty more impactful than her appearance. Never wanting to rock the boat in life — or her beauty regimen — she sticks to her simple, glowing skin, neutral eyes and a luminous lip to truly highlight her natural gorgeousness. Pisceans like to leave those who surround them with a feeling of awe, without standing out in an obvious effort, which makes this subtle yet flawless glowing look the perfect zodiac beauty profile for Pisces’ moment in the spotlight.

The Makeup Look for Pisces: Glowing Skin, Bold Brows, Neutral Eyes + Mauve Lip

Prep — Glowing Skin: Apply your base makeup with our go-to flawless base makeup tutorial. Keep your blush in a natural, soft pigment for your skin tone. For Justine, we used the classic NARS Blush in Orgasm ($30) because it has a perfect peachy shimmer that brings out a natural flush in almost all skin tones. This is the time to go big on your highlighter — this look is ALL about that glow! A favorite of mine that looks stunning on Justine is Benefit Cosmetics Sunbeam Liquid Highlighter ($26). Apply and blend above your cheekbones, down the center of your nose, above your cupid’s bow and in the center of your lower forehead for a natural radiant glow.

Step 1 — Neutral Eyes: Start off by applying a soft shimmering highlight like Virgin from Urban Decay Naked Palette ($54) to your brow bones, the inside corners of your eyes and slightly along the lower inside corner of your lash line. To contour your creases, go for a neutral matte brown like Naked from the same palette. To deepen the look, add a shimmering deep brown like Darkhorse (also from the Naked Palette) to the outside corners of your upper lid and along the lower lash line, slightly blending into the Virgin shadow.

Step 2 — Bold Brows: Bold brows don’t have to be unnatural looking. To get the best of both worlds, fill in your brows with a natural shade that matches your own hair color like TreStique Brow Pencil in Espresso ($25). Start out with the pencil side, and then go over your brows with the other end, which has a mascara wand that blends your brows with a matching gel for a flawless, naturally bold finish.

Step 3 — Slightly Mauve Luminous Lip: Depending on your skin tone, this hue may vary. The idea here is to get a lip shade that is slightly deeper than your own. For Justine’s pucker, we went with a combo of Too Faced Melted Chocolate in Chocolate Honey ($21) topped with a touch of Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Sophia ($20) to create a subtle yet kissable finish.

Finishing Touches — Tightline + Mascara: Top off with a black tight line — apply liner in your upper waterline only — and a couple coats of your favorite mascara for a fluttery soft shimmer.

If you want to take this look up a notch, swap out the natural lip with a vibrant hot pink or bright red for a more dramatic vibe. This look pairs well with any outfit, because it’s all about polishing off and flaunting your natural beauty.

Eating out as a vegan can be a true challenge, especially if you don’t exactly know that what you’re ordering is 100% vegan. Fast food faves like McDonald’s and Taco Bell are secretly packed with vegan items, and Starbucks is no exception.

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)

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).

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

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!

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

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.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

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.

LEO (JULY 23-AUGUST 22)

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.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22)

The Queen is not pleased. Heads will roll.

A post shared by Smoothie the Cat (@smoothiethecat) on

Smoothie: The green eyes, those highlights, that poise — Smoothie cat is a physical embodiment of your perfectionist tendencies, Virgo. And from what we can tell from her owner’s Instagram, it seems this tiny fluff ball is quite the reserved, shy kitty, and you’ve got your own chilled-out vibe working for you.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22)

Snoopybabe: You’re a people-pleaser who feels happiest surrounded by your friends and family, forever the consummate hostess, Libra. Snoopybabe, with those big, sad eyes, cute little ears, and super fuzzy body is a people-pleaser too, in that literally, no one can resist his charms.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21)

View this post on Instagram

I'm sorry, whose bed did you say this was? 😹

A post shared by Lazarus (@goprofrozenkitten) on

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!

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21)

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.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19)

Grumpy Cat: We’re not saying you’re always grumpy, Cap, it’s just that Grumpy Cat does not suffer fools — and neither do you. Yes, you both exhibit incredible self-control, with Grumpy Cat doubling down on that trademark frown, and your incredible focus on succeeding on every front. Thing is, both you and Grumpy Cat are actually loyal, family-oriented beings with mushy centers full of love. We see you.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18)

View this post on Instagram

Yay! ❤️😍😀😀😀

A post shared by Nyan Cat (@_nyan.cat) on

Nyan Cat: Nyan cat is an internet kitty in a league of its own (what with being computerized and all), which makes him a perfect complement to your quirky personality, Aquarius. Nyan is a cat with a Pop-Tart body and a rainbow-colored trail, flying through space. That’s basically the best metaphor for how you live your life, with free-wheeling independence and an appreciation for all things original taking center stage in your life.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20)

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.

It's a tub of "smooth and nutty" hummus topped with a tapenade comprised of black olives, manzanilla olives, capers, and olive oil to give it a salty effect. It's gonna taste so great as a dip for crackers or as a spread on a Mediterranean pita wrap.
