While 2024 has begun with a retrograde the good news for your zodiac sign is that Venus will not retrograde this year. Venus is the planet of love and beauty, and a Venus retrograde is when you stay away from makeovers, changes, and experiments with your appearance. But without one in sight this year, we have all the freedom to explore new trends and switch things up.
Ahad, see your horoscope for the year according to your zodiac sign and the beauty product that can get you through it, while you look your best.
Aries
2024 is set to be a transformative year for your professional and creative endeavours. Take the career challenges on with Chanel’s Noir Allure Mascara in fiery red—nothing is as transformative, and it aligns with your ruling planet, Mars.
Taurus
Expect the unexpected this year. With unpredictable surprises to challenge your grounded nature, the upside is that your ruling planet, Venus, does not enter retrograde. Don't fear the unknown and take solace in the known, like your trusty earthy lipstick. Our vote goes to the new Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Lip Blur in Pillow Talk.
Gemini
2024 promises to be anything but boring—it is a year of change in your work and love life. Match that energy with makeup that is anything but boring. Wear an ultra-glossy pout with Clinique’s Black Honey Lip Gloss for a berry-stained standout lip.
Cancer
All good things await the crab in 2024. From friendships to love life, all aspects of your life will do well, especially your professional life. Get ready to shine bright in the spotlight with a luminous glow courtesy of Rare Beauty’s Positive Light Liquid Luminizer.
Leo
2024 is about self-care. Focus on personal wellness and nurture your well-being as your professional and personal life undergo reshaping. Masking is a surefire way to unwind and relax, and we like the Sulwhasoo White Ginseng Radiance Refining Mask for a home spa experience.
Virgo
The year begins with Pluto moving into your 6th House of Health. Translation – now is the time to rejig your beauty and wellness routines. Change things up with curtain bangs for 2024, or experiment with a trending makeup look like the electric blue eyeshadow with the newly launched ColourPop Pressed Powder Palette in Blue Velvet.
Libra
When Venus retrogrades, finances and love can slow down. It is also an unfavourable time to undergo any changes in your appearance. But that’s not the case this year – if a makeover is what you desire, go all in. Get ahold of the Dyson AirWrap to experiment with hairdos for a new you every day.
Scorpio
Your two ruling planets – Mars and Pluto – undergo retrograde this year. Slow down and focus on self-care and wellness to reduce stress and avoid burnout. Secret Alchemist’s Anxiety Reliever Oil, Calm, will ease your stress and calm the mind and body.
Sagittarius
This year sees your ruling planet retrograde – Jupiter. Indulge in a luxe wellness ritual to put focus on self-care. It's also your year for experimentation – eschew your go-to look and go big and bold with your beauty choices, like the Simply Nam Flawless Strip Lashes for natural-looking false lashes to amp up the drama.
Capricorn
The year for you is about finding a balance between your personal and professional. Navigate all the challenges and opportunities with resilience and determination. Keep your beauty tools handy for some at-home R&R, like the PureEarth Kwansha Facial Beauty Coin.
Aquarius
Your ruling planet, Uranus, goes retrograde twice. With that in mind, balance all aspects of your life and prepare for inner growth. Let this not ruffle your feathers. Instead, opt for soft and subtle feathered brows – a big trend in 2024 – with the help of Benefit Cosmetics Precisely My Brow Pencil.
Pisces
The new year focuses on your relationship and encourages you to explore its loving and passionate side. With romance in the air, we suggest an intensified glazed doll-like blush – the perfect mix of cream blush and liquid highlighters. Try the NARS Cosmetics Liquid Blush in Orgasm and build it to an intensity that suits you.
