Whether you can't take your eyes off of rich burgundies, or have a taste for caramel or lemon instead, that decision could have something to do with when you were born — and, no, we're not talking about food. We're talking about the eyeshadow shades [1] you're most likely drawn to based on your horoscopes [2].
Turns out, you may feel an astrological pull toward certain beauty trends [3] without even realizing it, so we looked through hundreds of makeup palettes at Sephora [4] and picked out ones for every zodiac sign from Aries to Pisces to make the choice even easier.
These eyeshadow palette picks [5] are based on each sun sign but, if you want to get really creative (and expand those color choices [6]), you can check out the ones based on your moon and rising signs [7], too. See the shadows we chose especially for your horoscope and just tell your credit card it was already written in the stars.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Scarlet
Fiery, enthusiastic Aries get inspired by bold reds and oranges. This Melt Cosmetics Baby Girl Eyeshadow Palette Stack [9] ($58) offers a range of crimson hues, or there's the summery Viseart Aperol Spritz Eyeshadow Palette [10] ($39) with orange and mustard options not for the faint of heart.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Pine
Patient, determined Taurus should seek of shades of lush green to bring a closer connection to nature. Take this verdant Melt Cosmetics Smoke Sessions Eyeshadow Palette [11] ($48) or the more subtle, olive-y Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eyeshadow Palette — Green Lights [12] ($53) for a fresh, nature-inspired look.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Lemon
What's bolder than a bright yellow for fun-loving, expressive Gemini? Looking to that hue for a dose of color is key, and both the new Pat McGrath Mothership VIII Artistry Eyeshadow Palette - Divine Rose II Collection [13] ($125) and the Natasha Denona Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette [14] ($65) have sunny, lemony shades inside.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Silver
Sleek silver soothes sensitive, generous Cancer. The metallic tones in both the Clinique All About Shadow 8-Pan Palette — Neutral Territory 2 [15] ($40) and the Too Faced Pretty Rich Diamond Light Eyeshadow Palette [16] ($49) are nicely offset with creams and whites, too.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Gold
Often regal and dramatic, Leos truly shine when a bit of sparkle is added to the mix. This Natasha Denona Gold Eyeshadow Palette [17] ($129) has several golden shades to mix and match, whereas this new Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette in Extravagance! - Limited Gold Edition [18] ($50) has one gold stunner as its standout.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Caramel
Shades of warm brown can apply to Virgos' practical, modest side as it's easy to wear the hues in this Artist Couture Supreme Nudes and Pressed Pigment Eyeshadow Palette [19] ($40) every single day of the week. Of course, there are also mostly caramel tones in this Too Faced Natural Lust Palette [20] ($59) . . . but with pops of color for more daring days, too.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Rose
Play into charming, balanced Libras' romantic side with soft pink. This Nars Eyeshadow Quad - Orgasm Collection [21] ($52) has shimmery and matte shades to choose from and, of course, the Viseart Paris Edit Eyeshadow Palette [22] ($39) sends them straight to the city of love.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Burgundy
Passionate, independent Scorpios won't shy away from rich merlots and burgundies . . . and that doesn't mean wine. Both the Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette [23] ($65) and the Urban Decay Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette [24] ($49) have sultry shadows to light a spark and keep it blazing.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Violet
Rich plums are a power color for adventurous-yet-adaptable Sagittarius. Whether that translates to darker tones like in this Urban Decay Naked Ultraviolet Eyeshadow Palette [25] ($49) or softer ones like in the Aether Beauty Amethyst Crystal Gemstone Eyeshadow Palette [26] ($58) instead, purple's here for you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Charcoal
Gray's a solid choice for ambitious, responsible Capricorns. But it doesn't have to be boring as the colors in this Kevyn Aucoin Emphasize Eyeshadow Design Palette — Magnify [27] ($46) can still create a stunning smoky eye and the cool tones in this Givenchy Le 9 De Givenchy Eyeshadow Palette — Cool Grays [28] ($65) are far from the ordinary, too
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Cobalt
Bold blues set a bright tone for friendly, inventive Aquarius. The cobalt shades in this Melt Cosmetics Blueprint Eyeshadow Palette Stack [29] ($48) and the Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palette 28 [30] ($239) add a pop of cool color on the eyes with no lack of sapphire sparkle.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Seafoam
The colors of the ocean are perfect for intuitive, compassionate Pisces. And what better shade is there than the actual seafoam found in this Tarte Sea High Tides and Good Vibes Eyeshadow Palette [31] ($39) or the similar green tones in the Huda Beauty Pastel Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette — Mint Obsessions [32] ($29), too?
