Zodiac Beauty Tips

A recent beauty survey suggested that ninety per cent of women would refuse to leave the house without make-up.

Almost all of those quizzed  said wearing cosmetics made them feel more confident and attractive. Without it they felt insecure and exposed.

And 65% said they reapplied make-up before sex.

But what does your zodiac sign say about your attitude to beauty and how can it help you enhance your looks. Read on to find out.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Like sporty yet dashing Aries Kate Hudson, you're a blow-dry-and-go kind of girl. Because your sign rules the head, however, it's worth investing in the right cut and colour to frame your fabulous face. A few blonde highlights will go a long way toward boosting your youthful appeal. Though you're usually too busy to fuss with your face, taking the time to apply a little mascara and tinted lip gloss will make you look and feel great.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Your beauty stems from your innate femininity. Because you're ruled by voluptuous Venus, like screen siren Uma Thurman, you have curves aplenty and a lovely complexion worth preserving. Wear sunscreen religiously, and use high quality skin care products -- not only on your face but also your neck and chest. Highlighting your luscious lips with the works -- liner, lipstick and gloss -- will give added glamour.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Like Gemini goddess Angelina Jolie, your appeal comes not just from your beautiful face, but also from your quirky intelligence and unpredictable moves. Enhance your reputation as a quick-change artist by constantly trying out new hairstyles and the latest makeup tricks. Pay particular attention to your lovely shoulders, arms and hands -- tone them with weights, baby them with rich oils and invest in regular manicures

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
It's no accident that Cancer is associated with the breasts and belly, since Cancer is one of the most womanly signs. Whether bestowed by nature or acquired through plastic surgery -- like Cancerian Pamela Anderson's -- your cleavage is one of your most alluring attributes. Enhance it with rich moisturizers, shimmery highlights and revealing tops. And, learn to love your belly's curves while toning it with regular sit-ups.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Your gorgeous mane is your beauty trademark. Like glamorous lioness Jennifer Lopez, known for tossing her curls over her shoulder, you get extra mileage with long hair. Pamper it with the best in hair-care products and salon styling. You also have a dazzling smile, so invest in keeping your teeth healthy and whitened -- and straightened, if necessary -- so you'll look your best in rich red and bronze lipsticks.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
There's a certain purity about you, which gives you a special allure. Like diva Beyonce Knowles, you're characterized by seeming innocence coupled with keen intelligence. Some of you abandon makeup entirely, preferring the natural look, while others spend hours trying to camouflage  imperfections. Instead, why not go for the middle route and aim for a fresh-faced look that plays up your most attractive features

 Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Never was there a more perfect Libra icon than the cool, blonde, impossibly lovely Gwyneth Paltrow. Like her, your beauty flowers not just from your pretty face, but also from your fierce idealism and elegant presentation. Your eyes are one of your loveliest features -- play them up by investing in high-quality shadow and mascara. Having your makeup or colours professionally done will bring you the sense of harmony you crave.

 Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
There's a dark mystery and smouldering depth to you. Like magnetic beauty Demi Moore, you radiate inner power. Because you're ruled by both energetic Mars and passionate Pluto, finding a sport, workout or active pursuit you love is the key to tapping into your true splendour. Invest in martial arts training or yoga classes, and you won't need more than a hint of lip gloss and mascara to bring out your natural beauty.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Like songstress Christina Aguilera, who belts 'em out with passion and panache, you're not afraid to make a statement. Whether you go over the top with playful makeup and hairdos or prefer to present yourself au naturel, it's your spirit and enthusiasm that make you beautiful.  You like to be wild and carefree and enjoy the wind in your hair -- so keep it lustrous with top quality products and styled for ease of movement.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
There's a no-nonsense beauty about you, and people rightly sense there's more to you than meets the eye. Like take-charge diva Mary J. Blige, you're willing to do whatever's necessary to reach the top. You apply the same philosophy to your beauty regimen, scheduling workouts and haircuts with military precision. Be sure to showcase your softer side, too, by wearing pastel colours and light, shimmery makeup.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Like curious, intelligent Jennifer Aniston, your friendly style wins converts. You may be the girl next door, but you also have an experimental side that's reflected in your cutting-edge hairstyles and outfits. The most radical among you may put pink streaks in your hair or pierce your nose, playing up your 'offbeat and wacky' side. Give equal time to your feminine self via 'girly' things like having your makeup professionally done.

 

 Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Dreamy and romantic are the words most often used to describe you. Like starry-eyed beauty Eva Longoria, you radiate a mysterious allure that stems from your connection to spirit and compassion for others. Play up your beautiful eyes by taking the time to be creative with shadows and liners. And, be sure to pamper those lovely feet with pedicures and reflexology -- it'll give you some relief from all that fancy footwear!
