Scorpio hair and beauty
Strong Scorpio placements in your chart, especially Venus in Scorpio, leans towards a sexy gothic glamour beauty look.
Famous Scorpio beauty icons Alexa Chung, Kendall Jenner and Katy Perry know how to rock a red or oxblood lip and feline eyeliner flick.
The Scorpio makeup bag is usually quite minimal, but red lipstick, black eyeliner and mascara are essentials for achieving their beauty look.
When it comes to Scorpio hairstyles, this sign loves a sharp cut!
Vogue Editor Anna Wintour is famed for her sharp bob and sunglasses look that’s typical of her Scorpio sun sign.
Scorpios prefer darker hair colours, with dark brown, black, red and purple all proving popular hair shades for this zodiac sign.
Scorpio shopping style
A Scorpio’s wardrobe is full of similar styles from their favourite shops and designers.
Once they know what they like and what suits them, Scorpios gravitate towards these styles and become the master of subtle reinvention.
Alexa Chung and Anna Wintour have been wearing the same trademark looks for years, but they always manage to make it modern with simple updates on classic styles.
In fact, Anna Wintour taps into her ruler Pluto’s penchant for transformation in the fashion world, recycling trends season after season in a unique way.
If they have to venture on to the high street for clothes, Scorpios will only want to stop off at their handful of favourite stores, where they know they will get something that satisfies their needs.
It’s the same logic with online shopping, where only a few privileged websites will make it on to the Scorpio favourites list for repeat spending sprees.
