Goal time! This July, you’re thinking ahead and wondering what the long-term holds for your love life. What’s the point of investing all that time and energy if it’s not going to bring a solid ROI? Keep your search light on for someone who can go the distance, Libra. You might find ‘em in the suit-and-tie crowd or through a work function. (Yes, business and pleasure can mix if you’re careful not to blur the wrong lines. The boss or an as-yet-unsigned account manager, for example, might not be your best bet.) With lucky Jupiter and Venus connecting in your tech sector until the 18th, online dating could bring some truly promising prospects, too. Post some new pics to your dating profile, and see who bites.
If you’re in a relationship, July could bring the possibility of a business collaboration with your S.O. Although it might seem overly formal, consider writing up a document that spells out your respective roles and responsibilities. Clarity can blast away lovers’ quarrels. On the 31st, a full moon in Aquarius lights up your fifth house of true love and fertility. This could be the day that you put a ring on it or get baby-making plans underway. But, Venus will be retrograde from July 25 to September 6, which could stir up some old fears about being trapped with the wrong person. Keep a levelheaded friend on speed dial to talk you through the anxiety and bring you back to reality. You don’t want to let a good one slip away.

To get the look, sweep a nude blush directly under your cheekbones to sculpt the face. Over the top of your cheekbones, dust a pale-pink-toned highlighting powder that’ll catch the light. Then, line your lips in matching pink lipliner and top with shimmery pink lipstick.
To get the nails, start by applying a protective basecoat and let dry. Next, paint a pastel-blue polish that’ll pop against your pale-pink lips. Finish with topcoat for a smooth, ripple-free surface.
