Happily ever after or consciously uncoupled? April brings some big questions about your love life to the forefront. At the beginning of the month, a lunar eclipse in Libra will make your desires crystal clear. In some cases, you might even be surprised by the depth and intensity of your own feelings. Just go with it. Feel free to ask for what you want, and don’t compromise or soft-pedal one bit. You’ll be amazed at how easily you can gain your partner or your crush’s collaboration. Not feeling 100 percent pure love? Get real and set yourself — and your partner — free. There’s absolutely no reason to settle. With the sun, Mars, and Venus in your commitment zones for all of April, you could lock down lasting love without a doubt. You’re magnetic and irresistible under this magical moon.
You’ll be in quite the sexy headspace for the first part of April, but don’t rush to spill the beans to your besties. Let the relationship play out between you and your amour sans outside interference for a change. On the 11th, romantic Venus heads into Gemini and your free-spirited, adventurous ninth house. This will bring much-needed levity. After the 20th, pack your travel bag and slip off for an overnight with your boo, or go visit a lover living in another port. #YOLO, Libra.
Your Beauty Forecast: Playful Pastels

To get the look, use a tapered blending brush to apply a pastel-turquoise eyeshadow to the inner corner of your crease and around your tear duct. Use a small pointed brush to smudge the color along the inner half of your lashline. Then, sweep a peach eyeshadow across your eyelid. Dust the same shade under the outer half of your lower lashline. Leave your lashes bare to keep the look light and airy, and finish by sweeping on peachy-pink lip gloss and blush.
