Fresh off the heels of Aries season comes indulgent, Venus-ruled Taurus. Beginning April 19 until May 20, Taureans are known for being ruled by the planet Venus, which means they appreciate a rich luxury to life that can come from anything they find beautiful—from a gorgeous pile of leaves that happened to arrange themselves outside of their front door, to shiny, light-catching diamonds that cost more than a year’s worth of rent. Either way, Taureans love the finer things in life, which is often showcased through their hair and makeup choices. 

As an earth sign, Taureans love wearing rich, neutral shades and tones for their everyday look, but when the occasion calls for it, they're often the ones who try out a more glamorous vibe that calls for special attention to detail. In honor of Taurus season, here are the best beauty looks to experiment with.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

Warmed Up Neutrals

For a Taurus, earth-toned makeup is so much more than slapping on your favorite neutral eyeshadow. To get the glamorous look Taureans are after, they know a few tricks that make their makeup pop. Try building up dimension on your lips by lining them with a darker, smudged-out shade on the outer edges that gets progressively lighter towards the center. Reach for brown eyeliner to create a wing that complements this natural look. We love the SHAINA B MIAMI Gel Eyeliner in Cafecito for this. To complete the look, brighten up eyes with a white or skin-toned eyeliner shade in the waterline, the easiest way to achieve this is with the TARTE Fake Awake Eye Brightener.  

Muted Plum

Who says all neutral shades have to be green or brown? This muted plum look is a perfect neutral choice for the Taurus who’s been binge-watching Bridgerton. Taureans just can’t get enough of the opulence: from decadent tables full of colorful desserts to ballrooms where everyone’s wearing a flowing gown with matching gloves. 

To recreate this look, grab a shadow palette that has buildable neutrals with shades that lean towards purple, like the BEAUTY VAULTE Eyeshadow Palette. Start by applying concealer or foundation to the eyelid to create a neutral base for the color to adhere to and pop. Then, dip a fluffy brush into the plum shade and dust that all over the lid. Opt for a denser brush and dip it into the brown shade to build dimension in the outer corners of the eyes. Top this look off with plump, kissable lips—like a tinted lip balm that adds a bit of hydrating color. 

Metallic Angel

Taureans understand that doing something simple, like swiping on a metallic shadow, can be enough to make them stand out in any room. And if you ever invite one out to cocktails, there’s a good chance they’ll show up wearing this look. 

The key to making the look shine is by playing with light. Create a smoky look with brown shadow on the outer corners of your eyes, but be sure to leave a spot in the center of your eye for a lighter shade. Blend the two together for a seamless look, then dab your finger in the gold metallic shade of the BAREMINERALS MINERALIST® Sunlit Eyeshadow Palette and tap gently across the entire eye. Keep the bottom lash line bare so the glittery shadow gets all the attention.

Modern Fairytale

This look is giving Drew Barrymore in Ever After and we can’t get enough. Pat on a darker brown shade on the outer corner of your eye and add lime green to the inner corner. Grab the fluffiest shadow brush you can find and blend the two together at the center. Bring the same shades underneath the eye and finish off with fanned-out lashes by adding a few swipes of the TARTE Tartlette XL Tubing Mascara. Try our mascara hack for a clump-free look. 

Perfect Pout

Taureans are represented by the bull, which means the first word most people use to describe them is stubborn. Hey, if it’s stubborn to demand the finer things in life, we don’t mind being guilty.

This perfectly pouted look is the ultimate accompaniment to any demand. To get the vibe, keep the eyes and cheeks on the minimal side, and let your lips do all the talking. Grab a long-lasting lip liner stain, like the NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Lip Lingerie Lip Liner Stain in shade Barely There. Bonus points if you go outside the lip line for extra drama. Then grab a matte lipstick, like the MISCHO BEAUTY Lipstick and fill in the rest of the lips. Finally, choose a gloss with glitter flecks in it to tie the entire look together. We can’t get enough of the ABOUT-FACE Light Lock Lip Gloss for this.
