Debating which lipstick shade is your perfect autumn hue? Your best bet (obvs) is to choose your perfect shade based on your zodiac sign. Whether you’re a watery Scorpio, earthy Taurus, or airy Aquarius, we’ve got you covered.
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
Fiery Aries love to be in charge and that’s why a bold hue is the only choice for these power-driven women. Patrick Ta’s Monochrome Moment Precision Lip Crayon (Dhs111, Cult Beauty) in She’s Strong embodies the Aries determined spirit. This ultra-lightweight and creamy deep brown shade reflects the inner drive of an Aries, her strong personality, and her ability to never fail at anything she does.
Taurus (20 April – 20 May)
Earthy Taurus is grounded, confident, and never takes no for an answer. We love these powerful women who always follow through with everything they do. It’s no surprise best autumn lip colour for Taurans is Vieve Modern Matte Lipstick (Dhs96, Cult Beauty) in Power Suit. This hydrating lipstick is bold and intense, just like you.
Gemini (21 May – 20 June)
Dual-sided Gemini reflects two personalities in one. This air sign is adaptable and playful yet can be serious and orderly. That’s exactly why the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Bahama (Dhs140, Sephora) is the best choice for our Gemini friends. This shade embodies both the flirty and innocence of pink undertones with the depth of mysterious and powerful brown. It’s demure yet provoctive and the ultimate autumnal shade for Gemini lips.
Cancer (21 June – 22 July)
Cancers are nurturers, lovers, and helpers by nature. This water sign devotes their emotional energies in assisting those who are close to them in anyway they can. Although Cancers have a sensitive output, they’re internally resilient. Maybelline’s Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Poet (Dhs58, Watsons) is a neutral nude lip shade infused with a rose gold warmth of soft pumpkin. Although this delicate lip hue reflects the thoughtful character of a Cancer, it’s tough too. This non-drying and non-transfer formula doesn’t crack. Just like a Cancer.
Leo (23 July – 22 August)
Everyone knows when a Leo walks into a room. They’re loud, proud, and have no problem sharing their opinion. Leos are the life the party, have great hair, and never, ever hold back. Fenty Beauty‘s Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color in Undefeated (Dhs135, Sephora) defines the energy of the Leo lioness. This sultry autumnal purple holds its own, never gives its power away, and stands true to what she believes in. Sound like a Leo? We think so.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Earthy Virgos are super aware of every detail. Their perfectionist and problem-solving nature make them great at handling situations like planning a night out for a big group of friends. Virgos are kind, intelligent, and always devoted to their friends, family, and work flow. Mac Cosmetics Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour in Burnt Spice (Dhs105, Mac Cosmetics) is a natural-looking matte neutral lip colour. It’s as though our fav spices like cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon were grounded up and served as a liquid lipstick. Perfect for a down-to-earth Virgo.
Libra (23 September – 22 October)
Libras bring harmony into every situation they encounter. Whether it’s settling an argument between family members or give petrol money to a friend who is driving them to a party, this air sign does the most to live a balanced life. Libras also love the luxurious side of life. They’re great shoppers and natural influencers. The perfect Libran shade this autumn is Live Tinted’s Huestick in Balance (Dhs113, Cult Beauty). This pumpkin-coloured lip crayon can also be used as a blush and eye shadow, bringing that balanced beat to your whole makeup look.
Scorpio (23 October – 22 November)
Get stung by a Scorpio and you’ll feel it for life. Scorpios are loyal AH but once crossed, there is no going back. This mysterious water sign is highly intuitive, observes everything, and never gives anything away. That’s why Natasha Denona’s Mark Your Lips Liquid Lipstick in shade Ninja (Dhs105, Cult Beauty) is so perf for a Scorpio’s pout. This mysterious cool-toned dark brown represents Scorpio’s ninja-like mentality.
Sagittarius (23 November – 22 December)
Fiery Sagittarius is consumed with passion, forward movement, and projects. This sign is the spice of the zodiac, which is why their autumnal-hued lip colour needs to be of the pumpkin spice variety. Youthforia’s Dewy Lip Gloss in shade Playing With Fire (Dhs95, Youthforia) not only represents the creative driving force of a Sagittarius, but it also gets us right into those autumn feels.
Capricorn (23 December – 22 January)
The DIYers, ambitious, and persistent AH ladies of the zodiac are the Capricorns. As the rest of the star signs sit back and watch, the Capricorns are the disciplined do-gooders who relentlessly pursue their goals and dreams. What better autumnal lip colour for Capricorns than Rare Beauty’s Lip Soufflé Matte Lip Cream in Inspire (Dhs115, Sephora). Capricorns inspire everyone, and with this red matte lip shade, they’ll be admired for both their beauty and aspirations.
Aquarius (23 January – 22 February)
Airy Aquarius is a humanitarian at heart. This light-hearted air sign is always lost in their thoughts day dreaming about how to solve both their own, and the world’s, problems. Aquarius women are creatures of the night. They like to stay up late and enjoy the silence around them. Rom&nd Zero Gram Matte Lipstick in Midnight (Dhs79, Watsons) is the ideal shade for their perfect autumn pout. A mysterious deep red, this shade relects the intellectualism of the Aquarius as well as it’s desire to be free from societal norms.
Pisces (23 February – 22 March)
Pisces are a bundle of love. This watery sign is emotionally aware, creative, and intuitive. This dreamy star sign is loyal to their family and friends, highly valued by those around them, and a great collaborator. Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Cream Color Drip Lip Cream in Honey Waffles (Dhs105, Sephora) not only has a shade name that’s as sweet as the Pisces personality, but it’s also the perfect buttery autumn hue.
