Lucky colour: Rose red

Try: The Lancome L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte in #82 Tapis Rouge, S$49, is super pigmented so one swipe gives your lips full colour. The long-wearing formula is also enriched with jojoba oil and proxylane so it doesn’t dry lips.

Lucky colour: Pastel green

Try: It’s your birthday month so we say go a little bolder and experiment with a pastel green shade on your lids. The Jill Stuart Shimmer Couture Eyes Palette in #03 Layered Jewelry, S$64, has a pastel green pan that gives a sheer, shimmery finish that is flattering on most skin tones.

Lucky colour: Light orange

Try: A full and juicy pout will give you that burst of extra confidence. Nars Lip Gloss in Outrage Potent, S$36, has sea lavender to hydrate your puckers and smooth out fine lines. Its doe-foot applicator makes it easy to apply the gloss precisely within lip lines too.

Lucky colour: Silver blue

Try: It’s the middle row of colours that fits the bill for you Cancerians this month, but we predict you’ll be wearing the colours from this investment piece for months to come. The creamy formula of the Chantecaille Polar Ice Eye Palette, S$163, has next-gen pearl pigments which go on sheer and can be layered to give a more dramatic finish.
