Understanding your horoscope can be a fun and creative way to explore different aspects of your personality, especially when it comes to slaying your birthday. In this article, we delve into the world of astrology to pair each zodiac sign with a birthday makeup glam look that reflects their individuality.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Hot As Fire

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Old Money
Taureans appreciate simplicity and elegance. A natural, minimalist look with earthy tones suits your grounded nature. Sophia Ritchie should be your go-to IT girl for inspo. Opt for nude lip colours, a soft brown eyeshadow, and a gentle blush to highlight your innate beauty.
