They say your rising sign is key to how others see you, so could the astrological signifier also be key to transforming your makeup routine? According to TikTok, absolutely.

For those unfamiliar with the significance of a rising sign, allow us to catch you up. Unlike your Sun sign — which is most commonly referred to when reading your horoscope —  your rising sign is a secondary component of your astrological profile. Your rising sign reflects how others perceive you, and it can also show how you present yourself to the world. It’s determined by the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact time of your birth. For example, if your sun sign is Virgo, but your rising sign is Leo, you might appear more confident and outgoing to others than your serious Virgo nature might suggest.

Following this logic, the connection between your rising sign and your makeup routine has become quite a thing in the world of astrology and beauty. The idea is straightforward: your rising sign can influence how you express yourself, including through things like makeup. So, people might think your rising sign can help guide the types of looks you might feel more drawn to or that align with your true self.

"Virgos value cleanliness and feeling put together, so we're starting off with skin prep," one TikTok user explained in her Virgo rising makeup tutorial. "Virgos are very natural, so less is definitely more."

Want to know how to nail your makeup routine for your rising sign? We're breaking it down, below.

Aries Rising

Aries love to stand out, so go for strong, statement looks, like bold red lips or a dramatic eyeliner. While some signs might lean more towards soft, sheer formulations, high-impact products are key to evoking Aries fiery, daring nature through makeup.

Taurus Rising

Less is more when it comes to Taurus' soft, sensual vibe, so embrace natural products in earthy tones. Go for a dewy foundation, warm eyeshadows (like browns and bronzes), and a gentle rosy lip. Taurus risings also love comfort, so luxurious-feeling products like creamy blushes or lipsticks will work well here.

Gemini Rising

Gemini's love to have fun, so get creative with your products. Gemini risings can pull off just about any look, so have fun experimenting with colour and texture. A pop of graphic eyeliner or a dual-tone eyeshadow will give fresh, lively vibes, and a high-shine lip gloss adds to that youthful energy.

Cancer Rising

Embrace your feminine side with soft, natural products. Use baby pinks, mauves, and peaches for eyeshadows and blushes, and enhance your natural lip colour with a swipe of balm or a lip tint. Finish the look with a subtle shimmer on your high points to enhance your glow without being too bold.

Leo Rising

Leo risings, this is your time to shine. Start by amping up your skin with a luminous base, before honing in on the eyes: a bold cat-eye and thick lashes can help make a dramatic statement. On the lips, think deep berry red and, for eyeshadow, shimmering tones are perfect to make you look like the star you are.

Virgo Rising

Like most things in life, Virgo risings prefer things neat and orderly — including their makeup products. Perfect your base with rich, skin-loving products, and a subtle skin tint. For eye makeup, soft browns and taupes that enhance your natural shape will keep your look fresh, while a natural lip colour is the perfect balance.

Libra Rising

Libra risings love symmetry and harmony, so your makeup should reflect that. Opt for classic beauty markers: you can never go wrong with a timeless red lip, while light contouring and soft highlighter help accentuate your natural beauty.

Scorpio Rising

If you're a Scorpio rising, you likely gravitate to beauty looks that lean a little sultrier. Embrace this side of your personality, by trying a smokey eye in darker shades like charcoal or mauve. Rich, pigmented lip colours like deep reds, plums, or even browns can enhance your powerful presence. Don’t forget high-impact lashes for that seductive vibe.

Sagittarius Rising

Light, bright and natural is the agenda for Sagittarius Rising. Go for a fresh, natural look with a bit of brightness and fun. A glowing complexion with a subtle bronzer will give you that sun-kissed, adventurous vibe. Opt for peachy or coral tones on your cheeks and lips. For eyes, something like a soft, warm eyeshadow and light mascara will keep things light and breezy.

Capricorn Rising

Much like their work ethic, Capricorn risings tend to favour a more polished, professional look when it comes to makeup. Go for a matte foundation for a flawless finish, along with neutral tones for eyeshadows and a soft contour to enhance your natural bone structure. On the lips, keep things chic and low-fuss with a lip tint that will last all day.

Aquarius Rising

Like most things in life, Aquarius risings love to push the boundaries with their look. Play with unconventional colours—like bright blues, brat green, or chrome—for eyeshadow or eyeliner. Make space for experimentation by keeping your skin fresh and dewy, to really let the details shine.

Pisces Rising

The eternal dreamers of the zodiac, soft, ethereal, and romantic looks are perfect for Pisces risings. Think pastel eyeshadows, soft pink blush, and a dreamy, shimmery highlighter. You can even add a little sparkle with a light glitter for a whimsical, fantasy-inspired vibe.
