This Makeup Trend Is Convincing Beauty Fans to Believe in Astrology
Here’s why TikTokers are looking to their rising signs for the most flattering makeup looks.
If you’re in need of makeup inspiration, rest assured TikTok is coming through with tons of tried-and-true looks to experiment with. Recently, astrology makeup trends have been the go-to way for creators to test out new looks. Specifically in the case of the rising sign makeup trend, users are referencing their rising signs for personally-curated makeup looks.
Although there are multiple astrology-inspired beauty trends making the rounds on TikTok, rising sign makeup in particular is said to make you feel your prettiest and attract what some TikTokers are calling “princess treatment.” The trend, which makes use of your rising sign, or the zodiac that rises on the eastern horizon during your birth time, is said to capture the vibe of your outward appearance. While your rising sign is a symbol of how you appear to others, your rising sign makeup look is meant to channel the most flattering elements of your appearance — like dark feminine energy for Scorpio risings or fairy vibes for Pisces risings.

While trends like high contrast makeup are said to broadly suit people with similar features, rising sign makeup and other astrological trends instead attempt to tap into the overall energy that coincides with your sign. For example, someone that’s a Virgo rising might discover that more natural and refined makeup looks make them feel most confident, while someone with a Leo rising may find bold and shimmery makeup more suitable. At its core, the rising makeup trend emphasizes that wearers should focus on beauty looks that make them feel their best — rather than worrying about what suits their skin tone or hair color.

Since rising sign makeup relies on energy rather than physical traits, it can seem like a shot in the dark when it comes to identifying flattering makeup looks. However, beauty fans on TikTok have found that implementing guidelines based on their rising signs has dramatically improved their routines — with some users even claiming that their views on astrology have changed as a result. Although there will always be skeptics, adjusting your makeup to suit your aura might just be an innovative way to make your beauty looks feel brand new.
