Star Signs Makeup Series: @makeupmadhouse x Coloured Contacts

The first look in this Star Signs series is Aries makeup which is inspired by the zodiac symbol of the ram. The ram represents confident and fiery personalities who sometimes butt heads due to their impatience and steadfast opinions. To capture the Aries star sign, @makeupmadhouse has added prosthetic ram horns to her makeup paired with foliage. Reflecting the natural colours, she has added brown freckles, green eye makeup and Hazel Autumn Coloured Contact Lenses. To complete the aries costume, she painted the ram symbol on her chest in brown tones.

For her Taurus makeup, she has added small prosthetic horns to represent the bull. The bull symbolises a steady and stoic presence as well as confidence in who they are. Those born under the Taurus zodiac tend to enjoy fun and indulgence. For this makeup, @makeupmadhouse has chosen a mossy theme for her face and chest, paired with a bold brown eyeliner wing. To add to the bull elements, she has chosen a gold septum ring but every other tone in this look is very natural and earthy. To complete the makeup, she has chosen to highlight her eyes with the Jade Green Coloured Contacts.

Gemini is the zodiac symbol of the twins and represents people who love to be busy with hobbies, friends, and projects. They are often curious and talkative. For this Gemini makeup, @makeupmadhouse has found inspiration in the Gemini star constellation. This stunning makeup is of a starry night. To represent the twins, one half is painted with gold stars while the other features silver stars. Beams shine from below her eyes and her choice of contact lenses reflects the twins. Honey and Sterling Grey Coloured Contacts continue the gold and silver theme.

Those with a Cancer zodiac symbol are said to be loyal to their loved ones. They are quiet and reserved but have a foundation of strength that is nurturing and sensitive. The symbol for Cancer is the crab so in this gorgeous blue Cancer makeup, @makeupmadhouse has painted a crab on her chest in blue tones emerging from blue skin. To pair with this blue theme, @makeupmadhouse has chosen a deep blue eyeshadow and Sapphire Blue Coloured Contact Lenses.

Leos like to be the boss and are confident with it. They like to perform and be noticed but they can easily get jealous. The majestic lion is the zodiac symbol for a Leo and in this Leo makeup, @makeupmadhouse has channelled the golden brown tones of the lion’s coat. The golden, brown and orange sunshine theme of this look paired with glowing cheeks gets the attention that Leos tend to attract. To contrast with the gorgeous golden brown colour scheme, @makeupmadhouse has added the Sapphire Blue Coloured Contacts.

 People with the Virgo star sign are diligent and logical people who systematically improve their skills with practice. They are usually perfectionists. The symbol for Virgos is the Virgo constellation. For this Virgo makeup look, @makeupmadhouse has chosen an earthy look inspired by nature. She wears a wheat crown and has painted green leaves on her chest. This is paired with natural makeup on her face, highlighted by a soft green eyeshadow and the Eyes of Harmony Coloured Contact Lenses.

Libra is the sign of scales that represent balance which @makeupmadhouse has reflected in her makeup design. She has used contrasting materials, leather and lace, to reflect the need for opposites in order to create balance. Libra’s are honest people who highly value social connections but they do like to try and avoid conflict. All the attention is on the eyes for this Libra makeup and that is furthered by the Violet Rose Tri Tone Coloured Contacts.

Scorpios tend to be strong and independent. They have a personality that makes them attract others but are also very private. For her Scorpio makeup, @makeupmadhouse interpreted the scorpion symbol literally by drawing a scorpion on her face. This detailed makeup is highlighted by gems and glowing cheek and eye makeup. To keep the colour subtle, she has added the Soft Grey Tri Tone Lenses.

@makeupmadhouse’s Sagittarius makeup is all about colour, The rich pink and red tones are paired with a multicoloured body paint to the chest. The glitter and floral headdress ensure this look is bold just like a Saggitarius who is lively and passionate. They have adventurous free spirits paired with deep thinking. To pair with the green leaves in the floral headdress, @makeupmadhouse has added the Freshlook Gemstone Green Lenses.

Capricorns are honest, loyal and hardworking but they can be overly critical of themselves. They are organised, independent and a perfectionist. The zodiac sign for Capricorn is a sea goat - half fish, half goat. @makeupmadhouse has donned her horns for this makeup look and paired them with a cute floral design. There’s a sense of fun captured in this Capricorn makeup paired with plenty of elements of nature, continued by the Green Circle Coloured Contacts.

In the penultimate look in this series, @makeupmadhouse gives us a perfect look at her unique art style. With bold colours and defined brush strokes, this Aquarius makeup captures the water element of this symbol. Those with an Aquarius star sign are usually analytical forward-thinkers who innovate and problem solve. They are assertive and truthful, meaning they push for positive changes in the world. For the water theme, @makeupmadhouse has opted for a soft blue/lilac wig and Cold As Ice Coloured Contacts.

Last but not least, we have another water symbol. Pisces people tend to be artistic and deeply emotional which spills into being incredibly empathetic and caring intensely for others, often putting their own feelings aside. The symbol of two fish swimming together has been created by @makeupmadhouse in this Pisces makeup where the fish can be seen on her chest. Again, she has created this piece in her beautiful unique art style with bold colours and brushstrokes. It is paired with a stunning dark blue wig and the Blue Emerald Tri Tone Coloured Contacts.
