We'll be honest—as fun and exciting as it can be to embark on a beauty shopping expenditure, sometimes, it feels like a lot of freaking work. With so many products and retailers to choose from and sift through, even deciding whether or not we want to re-purchase the same serum we just ran out of (versus trying something new) feels like the decision of the decade. Anyone else? If only we could just let the stars decide… oh, wait.
We're super into astrology over here at Who What Wear HQ, so we thought we'd streamline your beauty buying process by teaming up with our nontoxic sister skincare line, Versed. (The brand's product development director Tamerri Ater—aka AstroFashionista—just so happens to be a professional astrologer, modern mystic, and all-around beauty savant.)
A skincare- and beauty-themed astrology reading is fun any time of the year, but there's something about fall (and October, in particular) that feels especially festive. ICYMI: Versed launched the skincare set of all skincare sets—meet The Big Chill ($17)—to help you transition into the cooling shift of season, so we recommend you grab yourself a kit and settle in for Ater's personalized skin and beauty prescription based on your sign. Keep scrolling! The three most astrologically strategic beauty products for every sign await just below.
Symbol: The Ram. Element: Fire. Skincare reading: Aries is the first fire sign of the zodiac and is ruled by energetic Mars, so staying active and avoiding boredom at all costs is your thing. Keep that heart rate up and that skin protected with Guards Up Daily Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 ($22). And no need to sweat the potential of back acne when you use Back-Up Plan Acne-Control Body Mist ($15). The makeup add-on: Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 ($46)Symbol: The Bull. Element: Earth. Skincare reading: Luxury and relaxation are always at the top of a Taurus’s mind, with the pleasure-seeking planet Venus as your ruler. Enjoy the ultimate pamper-yourself-night-in with the Photos, Please Brightening Tightening Mask ($10) and Keep It Supple Body Oil ($15). Pro Tip: Add to bath water or to damp skin after bathing. The fragrance add-on: Heretic Midnight Toker Eau de Parfum ($85)Symbol: The Twins. Element: Air. Skincare reading: Gemini is a mutable air sign ruled by the planet of curiosity, Mercury. You thrive on change. Multiple makeup looks? No worries. Melt the day away with Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm ($18). Then, restore balance with Dew Point Moisturizing Gel-Cream ($15). The makeup add-on: Kosas 10-Second Liquid Eyeshadow ($28)Symbol: The Crab. Element: Water. Skincare reading: Cancer is ruled by the moon, so you’re a nurturer to many but may forget to take care of yourself from time to time.

The makeup add-on: Rare Beauty Always An Optimist 4-in-1 Prime & Set Mist ($24)Symbol: The Lion. Element: Fire. Skincare reading: Leo is ruled by none other than the center of our universe—the Sun.

The makeup add-on: Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick ($50)Symbol: The Scales. Element: Air. Skincare reading: Libra is the sign of partnership, and diplomacy is one of your strong suits. Discord makes you uncomfortable, especially when it comes to your skin. Keep calm and carry on with Keep the Peace Acne-Calming Cream Cleanser ($17). Then, kiss and make up with Silk Slip Tinted Lip Oil ($10). The fragrance add-on: Jo Malone London Amber & Lavender Cologne ($121)Symbol: The Scorpion. Element: Water. Skincare reading: With Mars as your traditional ruler and Pluto as your modern ruler, nothing gets by you, Scorpio. You're a natural investigator who knows how to get down to the bottom of things—even your pores. Physically and chemically exfoliate with Day Maker Microcrystal Exfoliator ($17) and The Shortcut Overnight Facial ($20). The makeup add-on: Exa Jump Start Smoothing Primer ($34) Symbol: The Archer.

Only minimal commitment is needed for an instant glow with Doctor’s Visit Instant Resurfacing Mask ($18). And don’t forget to pack Vacation Eyes Brightening Eye Gel ($18) for your next escapade. The fragrance add-on: Byredo Gypsy Water Eau de Parfum ($180)Symbol: The Goat. Element: Earth. Skincare reading: Capricorn is an earth sign ruled by serious Saturn, so you value structure, hard work, and follow-through. Nothing says serious business like the clinically proven-to-work ingredient, retinol. Level up with Press Restart Gentle Retinol Serum ($22), and keep those fine lines in check with Zero-G Smoothing Eye Cream ($18). The makeup add-on: Ilia Limitless Lash Mascara ($28) Symbol: The Water Bearer. Element: Air. Skincare reading: Aquarius is a fixed air sign with the symbol “The Water Bearer,” causing many to mistake you for a water sign. You’re constantly in your head cooking up utopian ideals. A clean slate at the start and end of your day helps keep you focused. Start with Wash It Out Gel Cleanser ($13), and follow up with Just Breathe Clarifying Serum ($20). The fragrance add-on: Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi Eau de Toilette ($120)Symbol: Two Fish. Element: Water. Skincare reading: Pisces is the only water sign in the western zodiac represented by a symbol that actually lives in the water full-time—two fish swimming in opposite directions. Moisture is a nonnegotiable for you. Stay hydrated with Hydration Station Booster With HA ($20) and Look Alive Hydrating Plumping Mask ($10).
