Some say the year doesn’t officially start until March 21 rolls around, which signifies the start of Aries season. Aries are known for being the bold leaders of the zodiac, as the astrological calendar begins with this sign. If you have an Aries in your life, you probably know them as being die-hard loyalists who have no problem being confrontational, have big dreams that they always accomplish (if they can stay focused long enough), and are constantly boosting up the spirits of everyone around them.
“Why not me?” is their tagline, and they’re going to try to push it upon you too. Why? Because once an Aries loves you, they’re going to make sure you know the reasons why. They value the people they choose to love like no other, and they’re not going to rest until you see yourself the same way they see you. The best makeup looks for Aries zodiac signs include bold moves, stand-out colors, and outside the box thinking, so everyone can know how unique and special the Aries sign truly is. We are in the midst of this fiery season until April 20, so make sure to get all your best and boldest beauty looks in now while the energy is still white hot.
It's about glam time you treated yourself.

Aries never shies away from a bold entrance. In fact, they are known to feel more comfortable in social situations if they are the center of attention. That’s why many Aries lead with a bold lip before crafting the rest of their makeup look. But just because the lips are bold doesn’t mean the eyes have to be drab. Fan your lashes to their fullest with a tubing mascara, like the KULFI BEAUTY Badi Lash Smudge Proof Volumizing Tubing Mascara, which was actually created for those with stick-straight lashes in mind.
Grab a bright or deep matte red lipstick, like BEAUTY FOR CERTAIN Matte Liquid Lipstick, and fully cover the lips before adding a clear gloss on top. Bonus points if you also make your eyelids sparkle. Use a silver, shimmery powder shadow, like the ASHUNTA SHERIFF BEAUTY Unicorn II Glitter & Matte Shadow Palette as the backdrop for your sky-high lashes.
Aries, you don’t need a reason to rock bold and colorful makeup. In fact, just going to the grocery store on a weekday afternoon is enough to warrant all eyes on you with a bold, graphic eyeliner look.
Aries love experimenting with non-traditional eyeliner colors like bright red and lime green. As an Aries I know I personally couldn’t get Lana Del Rey’s neon green cat eyeliner look out of my head for months after her Norman F*cking Rockwell album dropped. If you’re not skilled with the graphic shapes, start with a regular cat eye in a bold color, and then line the waterline in the same shade. You’ll still turn heads without spending hours at the vanity mirror. For this, grab a flat eyeliner brush, like the angled brush from MORPHE. Dip it into the ABOUT-FACE matte fluid eye paints.
You know the full face of glam most people reserve for special occasions, you, Aries, go full glam with minimal effort, because you know exactly what works for you and have perfected your routine. Your friends and family might be surprised by how quickly you can actually get out the door looking absolutely perfect, while others are holding up the group.
For an instant glam moment like this one, keep bright bubblegum blush on-hand, and don’t be afraid to overly dust your cheeks with the stuff. We’re huge fans of the PEAR NOVA Cheek Palette.
An Aries can’t get enough of a fiery hot makeup look, which means they don’t shy away from bright red eye makeup whenever they get a chance. For a look like this, consider using varying shades of red in different formulas (powder and liquid). You can create dimension by adding a bit of white eyeshadow in the corners of the eye, using the LASH STEP Matte About You Eyeshadow Palette, or build drama with the darker black shades. Dust the red shades outwards towards the orbital bones for an extra cool rockstar girlfriend look. Bonus points if you also create a blurred, ombre lip to go with it.
Aries can seduce anyone with little to no effort, and it starts with the look in their eyes. Siren eyes refer to a lifted eye look that shapes the eye using liquid eyeliner and cut crease eyeshadow. For this version, we’re swapping out traditional black ink eyeliner for something with a little more sparkle. To really make the eyeliner stand out, start with a nude eyeshadow that’s about two shades lighter than your skin tone. This provides a base for your eyeliner to pop. For this oil spill metallic shade, reach for STILA’s All Day Chroma-Flash Liquid Eyeliner. Start the line in the inner corners of your eyes trending down to add to the lifted effect. Line the top of the eye close to the lash line, and when you get to the outer corners, bring the cat eye up higher than you normally would. Make the cat eye even sharper by dipping a cotton swab in some makeup remover to shape it.
