Zodiac Beauty | The Pisces

By Jenny Brownlees

Zodiac beauty is trending. Here’s how to get the look…

2019 saw the world go astrology-mad – with our zodiac signs adorning everything from notebooks to phone cases, whilst The Pattern had everyone asking how an astrology app knew them so well (yes, even Channing Tatum was perplexed.) Zodiac jewellery trended, and minimalist astro-tattoos were on the rise. When a trend infiltrates our cultural zeitgeist this deeply, we knew it was only a matter of time before our beauty routines became inspired by the planet’s cosmic movements.

It makes sense, since our astrological signs speak to the traits of our character – do you always gravitate the same shade of lipstick or blush? It may be because it’s written in the stars. We regularly look to our horoscopes for clues on internal issues of life and love, so it’s not surprising it’s starting to inform our outward appearance as well. All our favourite beauty brands seem to be taking inspiration from the zodiac right now, meaning there’s a whole host of innovative astrology themed beauty buys for you to browse. Take a glimpse into the future…

The mere look of this planet-inspired palette alone is enough to entice us. A divine spectrum of twelve shimmering shades, twelve matte shadows and an illuminating highlighter – this combo is packing serious star powder for your money. Each smouldering shadow is pigment-rich to illuminate eyes and cheeks with dazzling colour.

Spectrum’s zodiac-themed brush set has us seriously starry-eyed. If its luxe look of gold ferrules, matt black handles and scattered star print weren’t enough, this set compromises super soft bristles and expert application. Consisting of foundation, powder, highlight and contour-ready angled brushes, this set provides all the tools you’ll need for a flawless base.     

We love this mask for its intense hydration – the mineral-rich ingredients provide a serious quench of moisture for all skin types. This mask manages to feel thick and luxurious, but with a non-oily texture that won’t clog your pores. Made with Réotier water, hyaluronic acid and water-binding molecules, this multi-tasking mask also helps to minimise the appearance of pores. Relaxing with this on will leave your skin soft, recharged with and with a healthy-looking glow – the ideal start to any makeup look.

Spectrum’s pink cosmos lipstick is Pisces-perfect. This suit all skin tones colour is soft yet has intense pigmentation, in a trending matte texture. This winning lippy is made with the extract of the Indian gentian plant – known for its antioxidant, smoothing and rejuvenating properties. If the fact that this lipstick smooths your lips as you wear wasn’t enough, it’s hosed in a super-chic acrylic case adorned with zodiac-inspired gold stars.

We don’t know about you, but we’re forever needing come-in-handy toiletry bags for travel, organisation and our many, many beauty products. What better way to flaunt your sign than with a personalised zodiac pouch? The Pisces constellation and pretty stars have been beautifully embroidered onto the black fabric bags, making for a chic finish to a practical product.

Perfect for all skin types, this advanced moisturising formula uses a combination of hydrating hyaluronic acids and botanical extracts to help skin absorb and hold vital moisture. Enriched with tamarind extract and papaya enzyme, this enzyme cream also promotes gentle exfoliation of the skin – to brighten any dull areas. Hero-ingredient alpha-arbutin works to lessen the effects of hyperpigmentation and dark spots whilst plumping and restoring youthful dewiness. Literally, chill out by taking some you time, (a Pisces favourite hobby) to massage this cream into the skin for a water-inspired pamper session.

Herbivore has been making waves on the beauty scene, and for good reason. Creating all-natural products with tangible results. Not only will the Pacific Ocean sea salt speak to your sign – the brand uses the zodiac to inspire its product collections. This quick and easy spray will transform your hair with that perfectly undone, beachy texture in no time – paired with a gorgeous light coconut scent. If that wasn’t enough, this multi-use spray detoxifies and refreshes your skin whilst it’s at it. A great little all-rounder.
