Aries (March 21 - April 19) If breakouts, sensitive skin or both are issues, take good care of your tools. Makeup applicators can harbor bacteria. Make a point of washing those brushes regularly. If it's been a while, get to it ASAP -- or consider replacing altogether.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Cover your bases today. Before you apply foundation, use a skin primer -- meanwhile, a lip pencil will hold your lipstick or gloss in place. That little extra preparation will help you go the distance right now.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) There's nothing less sexy than someone trying so very hard to be sexy. Sucked-in stomachs, overdone hair and harsh makeup just don't make you feel or look your best. It's time to discover what does.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Not feeling up to the whole mascara, eye shadow and liner routine? No problem. Groom your eyebrows and slip on a pair of glam sunglasses. They're good for your eye health and make you look seductively mysterious.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Trying too hard to look younger than you are will age you faster than anything. Live your life -- and not the one the media dictates. Dress in a way that makes your life more meaningful.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Knowing how to apply a great smoky eye or put on red lipstick so it looks natural isn't a skill people are born with -- it's acquired. Talk to the experts and then go to your bathroom and practice, practice, practice.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Bored with clothes in basic black? True, it's a staple, but you'd like a dark hue that feels fresher. Try navy blue or a rich shade of brown. Extra details like piping, trim and well-placed zippers add further depth.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) An old-fashioned touch makes you seem far ahead of your time. Think about switching from paper tissues to linen handkerchiefs -- they're more environmentally friendly and much more romantic too.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) It's not just about the styles other people see you in -- it's about what you see in your daily environment too. It's time to perk up your home and your workspace with flowers, pictures and postcards.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Be respectful of people's personal space -- bumping into someone in the locker room can be quite embarrassing. Make sure you're alert and aware of where you're walking so you can sidestep potential mishaps.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) You might need a little rehearsal time before you're ready to debut a certain look. Practice that new smoky eye makeup and walking in those lovely but higher-than-you're-used-to heels before you take them outside.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Give your skin lots of tender loving care, not an overload of products and potions containing the latest, much-hyped and totally unproven ingredients. It'll be easier on you and on your wallet.
