August is off to a passionate start as white-hot Mars lingers in Cancer until the 9th. Attached? Take the lead in your relationship, and be the one to bring the sexy surprises. A crash course in sensuality wouldn’t hurt. Hey, maybe it’s time to take that couple’s massage workshop or even Burlesque 101.
If you’re still searching for a soulmate, pursue your targets fearlessly. A more assertive approach is a turn-on this August. Traditional Saturn lends supportive energy to your search for lasting love. But, who is your ideal playmate? Someone both scintillating and stable, Cancer. You can be slow to open up — since once you fall, you fall hard — but Saturn helps you become a better judge of character this month. And, when outspoken Jupiter lands in your communication house for a year this August 11, you won’t be shy about asking the right questions to screen your mates and dates. Surprise! Someone who’s been “just a friend” could show signs of deeper feelings, especially after the 24th. Your Beauty Forecast: High Shine

To get the look, apply a mattifying primer all over. Then, mix a dab of liquid luminizer into your foundation for glowing skin. Dab a multipurpose balm over your entire eyelid to get a glossy look, and then add a burst of silver cream shadow to the inner corner of your eye. Blend the shade up and outward, halfway across your crease and a third of the way along your lower lashline. Apply a coral powder blush to the apples of your cheeks for vibrancy. Finish by lining your lips in a deep-pink shade and sweeping on a matching lipstick with a shiny finish.
