I'm really into astrology and not horoscopes. I don't believe in the "this is what is going to happen to you today" but I definitely believe in characteristics and behaviors that are associated with given signs. With that being said, I was browsing the Internet look for beauty stuff of course and ended up on totalbeauty.com. I saw make up horoscope and immediately was intrigued. So I read them all and decided I'd post what I found on my blog. Maybe you ladies are just as intrigued as I was.
The guru is Michele Bernhardt of MyInnerWorld.com and she claims by wearing the suggested eye shadows it will balance your life. Each suggestion comes with an explanation as to why the color best suits you and a recommendation from a senior MAC Pro artist Jennifer Karsten on how to wear it.

How to wear it: "To avoid the 'bunny rabbit effect,' keep pinks on the 'icy' side with a bit of white in them. Try a soft rose shade with a more muted tone as a natural wash of color all over lids and into crease and keep the lashes 'starry eyed' with a light [coat of] mascara," says Karsten.
