Keep things breezy in the first half of September, dating casually or enlisting your sweetie in playful activities. On the 17th, stoic Saturn hunkers down in your relationship house for two years. Kind of heavy? Yes, but your attention turns to creating a lasting, supportive partnership. As the zodiac’s twin, you thrive when you have a second mate by your side.
Free up some space for your soulmate — whether they’re in the picture yet or not. On the 13th, a solar eclipse might see you shopping for a little love shack or leaving a few extra hangers in your closet. Just starting your search? The sun blazes through your romance house from the 23rd on, assisting with your recruiting process. Coupled Geminis could plan a wedding or start talking babies. But, with Mercury retrograde from September 17 to October 9, wait a month before picking a date or venue. Mercury’s backspin could rile drama or bring back an old flame. If you reopen that door, proceed with caution.

To get the look, blend a dime-sized amount of liquid luminizer with your foundation before applying. Spot treat as needed with concealer, and prep your eyelids with just a bit of foundation to neutralize any uneven tone. Using a small, domed brush, dust a shimmery lavender shadow all over your lids, intensifying it in the creases. Glide it along your lower lashlines, too, for an overall wash of color. Next, add a light coat of mascara for defined lashes that look fluttery and natural. Add soft contouring, using nude blush to sculpt just under your cheekbones. Then, sweep a peach-toned highlighter atop your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, and above your Cupid's bow. Finish with a swipe of neutral-colored lip balm.
To get the nails, start by applying a basecoat or use a two-in-one nail color that contains one. Then, place strips of tape diagonally across your tips so they come to a point. Paint the exposed part of your nails with a nude polish. Once dry, peel off the tape, and paint the remaining part of your nails a deep purple. Finish with a glossy layer of topcoat.
