Gemini, you can be lively and social making you the life of the party and so much fun to be around! But since you tend to have two sides to your personality, your makeup showcases your intellect and cunning wit with an intriguing brow while complimenting your socialite ways with fun golds.







Cancer is loving and nurturing, always striving to serve and please those they love. This compassion can come in strides with a little moodiness...Cancer's, you know what we mean. So your makeup is deep and smokey to resemble your emotion and caress.










Leo. The brave, the bold, and the fearless. You live to be the center of attention, and your charisma and enthusiasm keep you there. Your makeup look is bold just like your spirit with a thick liner and heavy-handed highlighter to resemble that spotlight you chase.







Virgo is modest and responsible with a tendency to be quite meticulous. Your makeup is down-to-earth and precise with with a thin, subtle liner flick and matte shadows. Don't be afraid to cut that crease! Sharp angles are what adds to the lure of your look.








Libras are known for their strategic charm. You are very sociable and diplomatic in your ways, which can cause you to be indecisive at times. Your eyes flaunt flirty shadow colors and curled lashes to portray the fun-loving, social adaptability you possess.








Scorpio, you are mysteriously magnetic and live life in an intense, passionate manor. Your eye look is dramatic and sultry with romantic lashes that reach new heights. You also rock smokey shades of red to exhibit your passion.







Sagittarius, you're the free spirits of the zodiac. Slightly careless and somewhat restless at times, you are always looking for the next adventure! You are good-humored, but never beat around the bush. Your look strays outside of the lines with shimmery purples and unique lower liner. Rock it!







Capricorn is ambitious and disciplined, you live your life in a very traditional way and rarely stray. Sport natural shadow shades with dimension that overachieves most looks. You reach for the stars with your makeup just like you do with your success!







Aquarius shows affection freely. You are a humanitarian at heart and strive to make the world a better place for all people.

The Look of Love


The day of love is almost upon us! If you are looking for a sultry, romantic makeup look for your big date night, we've got you covered. Follow along with these easy steps for a jeweled tone smokey eye that is sure to turn the head of your loved one (and you)!

Let's start with the eyes! Whenever you tackle a smokey eye, it's best to do your eyes first, then complete your look with foundation, blush, and lips. This will help with fall out clean up!

Step 1. Using Plum Eye Pencil, apply a thick line from your lash line to your crease (this does not need to be clean or precise).
Step 2. Grab your Sugar Plum Eye Shadow Trio and your Contour Shadow Brush. Smoke out the liner with the Dark Purple shade form your trio.
Step 3. Using your Blender Brush and the Copper shade from your trio, blend into the crease.
Step 4. With the Crease Brush and Amethyst Water Color Eye Shadow, tap Amethyst onto the ball of your lid (center lid).
Step 5. Apply the highlight color from the trio onto your brow bone with the Oval Shadow Brush.
Step 6. Line your lower lash line with Plum Eyeliner.
Step 7. Smoke out the lower lash line with the Dark Purple shade from the trio using the Eyeliner/Brow Brush.
Step 8. Use your Contour Shadow Brush to blend the Highlight shade into the inner corner of your eye.
Step 9. Fill in your brows with Brow Gel. 
Step 10. Coat lashes with Curling Mascara (2 coats will be the perfect amount of drama).

Finish the look by cleaning up any fall out and applying your choice of Foundation (find which one is right for you). This look is complemented by Pink Pearl Blush. Don't forget to add our Body Shimmer to your collar bone, arms, and legs for a sexy shimmer and feminine scent to complete your Valentine's Day Look!

Trash Talk: When to toss your makeup!


Raise your hand if you are a makeup hoarder! It's safe to say that throwing away makeup feels like a mortal sin (maybe an exaggeration?!?), but seeing a half used blush from 1984 go into the trash creates a pang sadness, what if you throw it away and decide one night that you need it to complete your look but that shade has been discontinued for years and you can't find one like it...gasp... THE HORROR!!!  We get it, makeup can be quite an attachment to a lot of women, it holds your personality, expression, and memories. BUT, there does come a time when your makeup needs to be tossed. So let's call this an intervention of sorts, a PSA if you will. All makeup has an expiration date!

Why do you need to toss expired makeup? As makeup ages, it looses its efficacy, and anti-microbial power, which means bacteria could be building up in your products. So when do you toss the goods?Each product you use has a Point After Opening guideline, meaning once you open and start using the product, that is when your "toss it" count down begins.


Powder Products (Pressed Base, Loose Base, Setting Powder etc). - Powders have the longest shelf life due to their lack of water. Keep your powders in a cool dry place to prolong their life span. 
Liquid Foundations and Concealers - Liquid products should be tossed within a year. 
Blush and Bronzers - Just like your Pressed Base, these can go the distance! 
Lip Products - Once 12 months hits it's time to say, "So long!". 
Eyeliner and Mascara - Liquid Eyeliner, Pencils, and Gels as well as Mascara needs to be tossed and replaced every 3 months. We can't stress this one enough, using an old eye product could really do some damage to your peepers, so keep em' clean! 
Eyeshadows - We like to say 12 months on your shadows, but they could last up to 24 months, just be sure to keep them clean, dry, and to yourself! 
If you are not sure if your makeup is ready for the trash or not give it the sniff test. If your makeup smells rancid (kind of like musky dust) toss it. We also like to write the date we open our product on the bottom label as a reminder. 
We know it's hard to part with your precious makeup, but it may be time for a clean out, so put on your big girl pants and get to cleaning!

Not sure how to work a soft blue eye shadow into your New Years look? Read on for our easy steps to achieve the perfect New Years Look with the Pantone Colors of the year!

Step 1. Start with an even, clean lid. We LOVE using the lightest shade from the Impulse Trio from Lash line to Brow Bone.
