Cancer Season-Inspired Makeup Looks to Try

As Cancer season kicks off, the first of the zodiac signs to fall squarely in summer (June 21- July 22), take it as a sign from the stars to embrace all things emotional and romantic this season. 

While the rocky ups and downs of Mercury in retrograde have thrown us for a loop in the past month, the tumultuous celestial event has finally come to end, bringing more stability as the sun moves into Cancer. While the zodiac sign is driven by emotion and motivated by feeling, the crab represents a sort of stable passionate force as governed by the moon. 

Much like famous Cancers, such as Ariana Grande and Frida Kahlo,  leave your fears at the door and embrace the water sign’s emotive and creative nature. From glowing dewy skin to rosy cheeks to a bold red lip, embrace all things romantic and the hyper-feminine with L'OFFICIEL’s picks of the best Cancer-inspired makeup looks. 

Flushed from the heat or embracing 2021’s love of hyper-pigmented creme blush, rosy cheeks appear summer after summer for a reason. An unmovable summer trend, embrace blushes in pinks and light oranges to fake that perfect sun-kissed look.

The days of wearing layers of matte foundation are thankfully behind us. With makeup brands and influencers alike leaning towards a more natural, dewy look, follow the lead of Instagram’s favorites and embrace a youthful glow with a highlighter.
