Bring The Drama With These Leo-Inspired Makeup Looks

As the warm summer sun turns to scorching August heat, the placid nature of the water sign Cancer gives way to the fiery season of Leo (July 22- August 22). Leo's symbol is the lion, a regal creature considered to be the kings and queens of the animal kingdom.

Ruled by the sun, Leo is the definition of "main character energy." Leos are known for their theatrical flair, exuberant personalities, and inherent leadership skills. It's no wonder that famous Leos Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, and Dua Lipa make such good entertainers. 

Capture the fire sign's desire to be the center of attention with beauty looks that are anything but demure—think bold lipstick, glowing skin, and over-the-top amounts of opulent gold. L'OFFICIEL's list of Leo-inspired makeup will help you embrace the sign's tendency for dramatics all season long.   

Leo is ruled by the sun, making bronzed skin the obvious choice. Use a combination of a gold-toned highlighter, an all-over bronzer, and a luminous foundation to achieve a glowing look.

Symbolizing wealth and extravagance, Leo's over-the-top nature and love for the finer things in life makes gold a fitting color. Pack in the shimmery shade in unexpected places, such as the brows or eyeliner, for a regal look worthy of your inner lioness.
