The ’ber months are officially here. It’s time to prep your coziest apple-picking outfit, restock your favorite pumpkin spice products, and start thinking about everyone who’s making your holiday shopping list this year. Some might say the last four months of the year are the highlight of the year, and Libras kick it all off with their star sign coming into full focus September 22–October 22.

At their best, Libras are known for finding the balance in life, encouraging others to see both sides of the same coin. They are romantic, thoughtful, and have a deep sense of justice. You can’t pull a fast one on them, and you can’t expect them to stay silent if you pull a fast one on someone else. At their worst, they can annoy their pragmatic besties by playing devil’s advocate, and failing to stand up for themselves, even as they protect others.

In short, they’re someone you definitely want in your corner. Ahead, here are all the makeup looks to try this Libra season that are romantic, eye-opening (literally), and a little flirty.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

5 Libra Makeup Looks Written in the Stars

The Silent Flirt

Libras are romantic, and flirting absolutely sustains them. They’re known to get someone to cross the room just to say hi, all with a subtle wink. Let your eyes do the talking with this romantic makeup look that puts the focus squarely on your gaze.

For natural-looking, sky-high, and fanned-out lashes, reach for TARTE Tartelette Tubing Mascara. It’s 24-hour flake-free and smudge-free, and comes off easily with warm water. The tubes attach to individual lashes to thicken and lengthen them without ever needing to wear falsies. Top off the look with a peach-kissed matte lip, by using the HOURGLASS Unlocked Soft Matte Lipstick in Poppy.

Subtle Sparkle

Libra makeup tends to favor balance, so instead of letting bold color take over the entire look, try concentrating a hint of sparkle in the inner or outer corners.

To recreate this look, pop on your go-to natural eyeshadow look, and feel free to deepen the hues for a special occasion. Then, grab a silvery eyeliner pen, like the TOO FACED Quickie Queen Eye Shadow Stick in Twinkle. We absolutely can’t get enough of how easy it is to use and smudge out to create your perfect highlighted look. Plus, it has 12-hour wear that won’t budge.

If Libras do opt for color, a nature-inspired green feels especially fitting for a sign associated with harmony and balance. But instead of thinking neon, think soft, earthy shades like this gorgeous green.

We found the perfect Libra hue in this NYX Epic Wear Liner Stick Long Lasting Eyeliner Pencil in shade emerald cut. Line the lower lashes with this gorgeous color and get Zendaya-inspired eyes for under $10.

Silent Glam

If you have a Libra in your life, you might know them as being a great listener. That’s because they’re constantly absorbing everything around them and speaking up only when necessary — making everything they say that much more impactful.

At first glance, you might miss the subtle details of this glam on Florence Pugh. But take a closer look and you’ll discover matte peach lids that make black eyeliner and lashes pop. You might not think she’s wearing much makeup, but the subtle details still make a powerful impact.

To recreate the look, reach for a black liquid liner that won’t move, so you can control the thickness of the line and carve out your powerful stare. We love BENEFIT roller liner in matte liquid for this, since it has waterproof superpowers. Finish off the eyes with a few, barely-there swipes of conditioning mascara, like the KULFI BEAUTY Badi Lash Smudge Proof Volumizing Tubing Mascara.

Open Eyes, Open Heart

Remember how we said Libras flirt with their eyes? Sometimes even they need a little extra help. For more romance-inspired drama, add falsies to just the outer corners of your eyes. We love ARDELL Naked Half Lashes for goof-proof flirtation.

For even more romance, buff a soft blush onto the cheeks for a finish fit for a princess—erm, we mean Libra. Same thing. You can’t go wrong with a classic like the NARS Orgasm collection. Hey, Libras aren’t just romantic; they’re sexy, too.

What Is the Libra Makeup Aesthetic?

If there’s one thing to take from these looks, it’s that Libra makeup is all about balance. Think soft glam with one detail that turns up the flirt factor: fanned-out lashes, a flash of sparkle, unexpected green liner, or a perfectly placed pop of blush. But just like your horoscope, consider these looks inspiration rather than rules. Wear the makeup that makes you feel good—even if your birth chart says otherwise.
