If in addition to the crisp fall breeze you've noticed a little more harmony in the atmosphere, it could be because Libra season (September 23 to October 22) has arrived, ushering in, among other things, birthdays for the zodiac's resident social butterfly and peacemaker.
Libra is the seventh sign in the zodiac and is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love. According to astrologist Ophira Edut, one half of the The AstroTwins, those born under this sign are masters of social graces and have a taste for elegance, so it's no surprise that many Libras are also influential beauty powerhouses -- just look at famous Libras like Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow. Enough said.
However, while Libras have a special place in their hearts for pretty, shiny things, Edut notes that this harmony-loving sign is never over-the-top, meaning Libras strike a balance in their beauty routines and veer toward tasteful, understated complementary looks. Pastels, shimmer and makeup products in both peach and pink tones, appeal to Libra's ladylike but level-headed aesthetic, and ethically sourced products speak to their compassionate nature.
To properly celebrate the birthday girls of the moment, we've rounded up 14 products perfect for Libras -- or for anyone else who can appreciate their style.
