Since there are many great foundations and many ask for recommendations, this is a fun way to educate readers on what foundation suits you. There will be suggestions based on the elements and the vibes they all give. There are fire, water, earth, and air elements, and I will share their unique suggestions. Keep on reading to find out about your zodiac sign!
Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius (Medium coverage, buildable glowy)
Sagittarius
Elf CC cream
Sagittarius’s known to be the zodiac group's adventurous, lucky, and philosophical sign. In nature, they are mutable, relating to their arches and a deep desire for change. Mutable signs tend to be the most flexible and ebb and flow with life’s transitions. They are making the elf CC cream suited for these signs! This product, when layered, can create a full coverage effect. While also maintaining a sheer glass-like finish. Also, when used sparingly, it evens the complexion while giving the skin a glowy finish. The flexibility with how buildable this CC cream is relates to Sagittarius’s adventurous nature.
Aries
It Cosmetics CC cream
Mars rule Aries and is the sign of action and, in nature, led by the cardinal. This means that they are natural-born leaders and action-oriented people. Aries is full of energy and can drive change in seemingly hopeless moments. Their durability is why they would be the IT Cosmetics CC cream. CC creams tend to have the stigma that they cannot provide coverage while still being lightweight. The It cosmetic CC cream combines those two worlds, leaving skin fresh and balanced.
Leo
Yensa CC Cream
Leo is known for their confidence and fixed modality. They stand firm in their decisions and expect the best of themselves and others. This is why Yensa fits Leo. Yensa is both a BB and CC cream, which means it has the built-in coverage of a concealer but the lightweight nature of a BB cream. Their secret is infusing healthy oils into products such as black seed sesame oil, black seaweed, black tea, shitake mushroom, black rice, Korean black raspberry, nettle, and chia seed. Infusing a makeup product with skincare is the best of both worlds — healing and full coverage.
Water: Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces (Full coverage glowy)
Scorpio
UOMA
Scorpio is the fixed sign of the zodiac and the most seductive and secretive sign of the zodiac. That said, for foundations, the water signs would be full coverage foundations. The intuition of a Scorpio is unmatched, which is why a full coverage foundation that does not show any blemishes is ideal. This foundation does a great job at being transfer-proof during the night and keeps the desired look together, much like the Scorpio’s emotionless disposition. This is what Scorpios can do well if they do not want you to know their inner thoughts and feelings.
Cancer
Makeup by Mario
Cancers are the cardinal modality of the water signs. This means that this group tends to be the leaders. Their tough exterior is a defence mechanism of who they are because they protect their authenticity at all costs. The Makeup by Mario foundation is lightweight but buildable in coverage. It has a dewy finish that adds a natural touch. Much like Cancers, with multiple layers, their vulnerable selves will show. Although it is easy to underestimate Cancer because of its emotional nature, it is its strength. Similarly, Makeup by Mario may seem too lightweight and sheer, but it is a very buildable and full-body foundation.
Pisces
Haus of labs
Lady Gaga is known for making a statement through her glam in her early years as a musician. It is no surprise that her products are inclusive and spot-on. Pisces is the mutable modality of the water signs. They are known to rule the subconscious and are one of the more creative zodiac signs. Meaning they function best using their flexibility. Much like Pisces, they may seem like a fantasy initially, but more qualities become positive with time. The initial application of this foundation is promising, and it becomes even brighter by the hour.
Earth: Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo (Full coverage matte)
Taurus
NARS
Earth signs are all known to be reliable and sturdy. What comes to mind with earth signs is their ability to be “tried and true.” That said, Taurus is known to be the sign of possessions. They rule luxury and indulgence. In nature, they are stubborn and stick to what they know best. Therefore, NARS is the best match for a Taurus. This foundation has been leading the game for many years. Many makeup professionals realize it is a product that can be easily trusted. Earth signs also exude matte energy because this timeless look delivers cold baddie.
Virgo
Wet n’wild
Of all the zodiac signs, Virgo is one of the most underrated. Often Virgo can seem cold and heartless, but that is not the case. Virgos are great at prioritizing what makes sense. Once they have the details sorted (which is something they can get transfixed on), they act accordingly. This misconception is why they perfectly match the Wet n’wild PRO filter foundation. Although they are a drugstore brand, this foundation is promising with coverage and finish. This specific foundation can be great with layers and does a great job of giving an even complexion.
Capricorn
Kosas
Capricorns have a fixed modality and are known to do things in their way. Capricorns love money and success. They are hard-working and sturdy signs to be associated with. Kosas is an excellent match with Capricorn because a lot is happening in this foundation. Kosas’s foundation is known to have a nourishing element to it. The Capricorn’s hustler streak shows how they strive to do the most while looking great. Kosas is the perfect foundation for them because it’s a nourishing full, coverage foundation that will help your skin thrive even in full glam. Similarly, Yensa infuses its products with healing oils as well.
Air: Libra, Aquarius, Gemini (Medium-Full CC creams)
Libra
Fenty liquid
Libra’s may not be the most intimidating sign, but leave them in charge, and they have a natural ability to dictate. Venus, the planet of feminine energy and aesthetics, rules Libra. Libra’s are known to be people pleasers and do their best to instill justice regardless of the scenario. This is why Fenty is the ideal match for Libra. Fenty changed the game in the beauty industry, becoming the first ever-inclusive line of makeup geared towards black women. In doing so, this equality trickled into a more diverse visual for beauty that helped every woman of colour thrive.
Gemini
Ilia
Geminis have a terrible reputation for being two faces. However, this is simply due to their nature of enjoying debate and banter. Gemini is the zodiac intellectual and enjoys a good round of devil’s advocate, which is why they are the perfect match for Ilia. The air signs exude a medium to full coverage CC creams because, with layers, air signs can be a force. This skin tint is known for its SPF and skin care ingredients. Although it may seem like a sheer foundation at first glance, it is a buildable product. Much like Gemini and their unexpected love for debate, this foundation does an excellent job of providing coverage while nourishing the skin.
Aquarius
One Size BB Cream
Of the air signs, Aquarius is the cardinal modality. This means they take the lead in creating actions and change. Also, they are known to be the black sheep of the zodiac signs — Aquarius’s value perspective and how the small pieces work together as a collective. One Size Beauty is another brand that fits everyone for every shade, body type, and look. This bb cream has all the light elements of a BB, but it still has the wear and coverage of a foundation. One Size also has a great range of inclusive colours. Much like Aquarius, this brand ensures a match for you.
