By Shannon Ullman — Written on Apr 21, 2020
Wondering how to prepare for a virtual date while you’re social distancing through COVID-19? Knowing your zodiac colors can help you out.
All zodiac signs have a power color that can help you look and feel your best.
That’s why understanding your astrology color is important for choosing the best eyeshadow to wear on your virtual date. Whether you’re using FaceTime, Skype, or Zoom, you can have a first date without ever leaving your home.
Glossier’s latest sheer matte eyeshadow line, Skywash, is offering seven new shades inspired by the southwest landscape. They’re hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and won’t smudge!
Now you can channel the energy of your zodiac, as well as Mother Nature’s color palette, to impress your date.
Ready to put your best foot (eyelid?) forward? Here are the best eyeshadow colors for each zodiac sign.
Aries: Red (Skywash Terra)
Aries are active in nature and have a ton of excitement and passion for life. That’s why red is the perfect color to get their soul stirring and ignite their inner flame. The ruling planet of Aries is Mars, which makes red an obvious match with their personality.
Command attention on the first date by wearing Skywash Terra. It’s a burnt sienna that will make your eyes pop while you’re having virtual coffee with that special someone.
Taurus: Green (Skywash Lawn)
A Taurus thrives in the springtime when the natural greens of the trees and flowers start to show. Use this power color to inspire your growth as a person, especially as you embark on a potential new relationship. The Taurus bull runs through green pastures, perhaps new pastures, which can mean that wonderful things will come from your date.
Reinforce your spirit and connection to growth with Skywash Lawn, a greenish-yellow eyeshadow that will definitely get you noticed.
Gemini: Yellow (Skywash Lawn)
A Gemini’s intellect and thoughts are stimulated by the color yellow. The color of the sun helps a Gemini feel more enlightened and tapped into their curiosity. A first date is the time to shine, which is why you’ll want to harness all of the power of this bright and energetic color.
Show off your mind and intelligence by wearing Skywash Lawn. It’s a yellowish-green that can draw your date’s attention to the beauty of your mind and the power of your intelligence.
Cancer: White & Silver (Skywash Pool)
A Cancer is in touch with their emotions, seeing their feelings, and the feelings of others clearly. Like the glistening moon or the crystal-clear surface of water, white and silver are a Cancer’s power colors.
With Skywash Pool, a bluish shade, you can connect with your deeper sensitivity and intuition. This will allow your date to feel your authenticity so they can open up for a deeper connection.
Leo: Gold (Skywash Palm)
There’s no better power color for a Leo than gold. A Leo exudes class and prestige, so it’s no surprise that they’re attracted to gold. Leo tends to be generous, warm, and optimistic; qualities of a true queen of the jungle!
Try Skywash Palm, a golden beige color that will draw the attention of your date. It’s no secret that Leos like to be the center of attention, so let this eyeshadow shade help you get it while on your date.
Virgo: Green & brown (Skywash Lawn and Cocoa)
Virgo’s power colors are brown and green. The green represents a Virgo’s constant quest for growth and self-improvement. The brown helps a Virgo stay grounded and centered, so they don’t lose touch with reality as they stay busy and striving for perfection.
Use Skywash Cocoa, a brown shade that can help you feel grounded. Or, use Skywash Lawn, a greenish-yellow shade that can help you express your own personal growth.
Libra: Pink & blue (Skywash Valley)
A Libra tends to lead with their heart, offering tenderness and love. They’re known to be sweet and can soften even the hardest of hearts. Light pink and airy blue are the Libra’s power colors because they are just as calming and likable as this zodiac sign.
If you’re preparing for a first date, try Skywash Valley, a warm peach that is just as soft and lovely as the Libra. You can also try Skywash Pool, which gives off a bluish hue that shines! Your date won’t be able to help falling in love with you!
Scorpio: Black & deep brown (Skywash Cocoa)
Scorpios tend to be mysterious and passionate, making black or deep browns perfect power colors for them. A Scorpio knows how to see the deeper meaning in things, always looking below the surface to see what’s really going on.
Try Skywash Cocoa, a deep brown that will give you just a little bit of mystery on your first date. This color can also help you command the respect of your date, letting them know that you’re paying attention to any ulterior motives they may have.
Sagittarius: Purple (Skywash Pebble and Pool)
A Sagittarius is known for their adventurous spirit, awareness, and spirituality. The color purple is fitting for this zodiac sign as it represents abundance, openness, and positivity.
Skywash Pebble, a taupe shade, mixed with Skywash Pool, a blue shade, can give off a purple hue that will make your eyes pop. Impress your date with this magical color combo that will show off your enlightened and open spirit.
Capricorn: Brown & Grey (Skywash Pebble)
The goal-oriented Capricorn is known to be stable, practical, and reliable. Brown and grey are power colors for this zodiac sign as they are neutral and from the earth.
Try Skywash Pebble, a taupe shade that’s neutral, yet commanding. This shade can help represent you as the goal-oriented, no-nonsense person you are. It’s a practical color that shows you’re determined to make a good impression on your first date.
Aquarius: Blue (Skywash Pool)
It’s no surprise that this water sign’s power color is blue! The ruling planet of Aquarius is Uranus, which is also blue. This color represents smoothness and calmness, just like the ocean or the sky.
Wear Skywash Pool to show off your confidence and keep things calm, cool, and collected on the first date. Your openness to bold colors can put your date at ease, so the conversation and ideas can flow smoothly.
Pisces: Light green (Skywash Lawn)
Light green can help a Pisces connect with their deeper sense of self and creativity. This zodiac sign relies on this power color for inspiration and motivation. It brings out the best in the Pisces, allowing them to help others heal with their positive energy.
Try Skywash Lawn to channel the positive vibes on your first date. Your bold color choice may just inspire your date to open up in order to really get the conversation going.
