Makeup and Beauty Blog Horoscope

Found this in Karen's blog (http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com) and I thought it was interesting to share. Happy reading!



Aries (March 21- April 19)
Make room in your luggage for an extra large makeup bag, amazing Aries, because travel’s on the table this month. Make sure you pack your beauty necessities (how’s your lash curler?), and triple check everything, including the fine print on your itinerary, because Mercury, being in retrograde, might try to cause problems.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Peruse the perfume department for a sexy new scent, tempting Taurus. With Venus in Scorpio cranking up your levels of passion and affection this month, you’ll find yourself in the mood to get a little closer to others (now don’t be shy).

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
If you’re single, jazzy Gemini, get ready for a grand adventure. If you’re attached, book a couples massage at a fancy schmancy spa. Your independent streak will shine brightly this month, and you might feel the need to exercise your freedom (which could make things difficult for your partner). Try to plan some activities with your sweetheart so you don’t grow apart.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Treat yourself to some new work-friendly eye makeup, charming Cancer. With a New Moon in Sagittarius, your career could shift into overdrive, making you feel extra motivated and optimistic at work.

Leo (July 23-August 22)
Fill your makeup bag with long-wearing makeup essentials for last-minute party invites, lovely Leo, because adventure’s in the air! Your month will be filled with opportunities to mix and mingle with a new love interest; expect a fun romantic adventure around December 21.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Break out your little black dress, vivacious Virgo, and get ready for action, because Cupid has an arrow with your name on it. Don’t be surprised if a former flame reconnects with you; Mercury’s making you remember an earlier love, and what approaches will be an intensely romantic phase… There’s no telling what could happen!

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Don’t forget to breath, alluring Libra, and try some calming essential oils on your pulse points. Expect a last-minute travel invite or some unexpected news from afar on or around December 21. Practice your relaxation exercises (and do your best to unwind), so you’re able to keep your cool.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
My goodness, what’s that glow?! Why, it’s you in the spotlight, stunning Scorpio. With Venus moving though Scorpio, all eyes will be on you this month. Make appointments to get your hair and nails did, because you’ll want to look your best.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Break out your makeup brushes, and let your imagination run wild, sassy Sagittarius! This month will fill you with lots of energy, confidence, motivation and creativity; it will be a great time to express yourself through a few bold new makeup looks.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Find the time to buy a new pair of comfortable (and cute!) dancing shoes, captivating Capricorn, because Jupiter and Uranus will give you happy feet. Stay limber, because this month will have you feeling extra festive and energetic!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Plan a movie night at home with a friend, adorable Aquarius, or an at-home spa day with your closest buds. With Mars in Capricorn, you may crave the comforts of home over being out and about.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)
It’s party time, playful Pisces! If anyone out there could handle the coming flood of holiday parties this month, it’s you. Don your favorite party makeup looks (perhaps something with glitter?), and enjoy this festive time.

Makeover-Emo Look for boys




Did a makeover for this sweetheart and I decided to go for emo look!


How to create this look? I've emphasised more on his eyebrow and eyes. I've drawn thick black eyeliner around his eyes and did a little bit of contouring around his cheeks. Line and draw the eyebrows and end with a touch of nude lips.
