What's Your Sign, Baby?: Libra

Libra, September 24 - October 23
Symbol: Scales
Element: Air

According to Buzzle, Libra has a:
Secret Desire - "To live an easy, uncomplicated life"

Considered to be the most civilized of the twelve zodiacal characters, people born under this sign exude elegance, charm, and good taste. They are naturally kind, generous, and are lovers of beauty and harmony. They have a great sense of understanding of the emotional needs of people around them and try fulfilling them with their own innate optimism. They hate cruelty, conflicts among people, and make their best efforts to cooperate and adjust with others.


After reading the description of Libras, I decided to look some famous ones up to get a better sense of who a Libras are.  I found a list that included Madeline Kahn, and I have decided that Libras must be pretty cool because Madeline Kahn was the shiz.  (Seriously, go watch Blazing Saddles and Young Frakenstein if you don't know her.)  The colors most associated with Libras are blue, pink, and green and their element is air.  This brought to mind the idea of something ethereal.  I actually kept thinking of Cate Blanchett in Lord of the Rings. So I decided to do something very soft and pretty.  I am serving up some Galadriel realness with this look (I have been watching a lot of RuPaul's Drag Race).

Frizzy hair attack!
The look on the eyes is a combo of pink fading to mint green while adding some bright blue in the crease.  I added some liner to ground the look but kept the cheeks and lips pretty in pink.  While some people fear brighter colors on the eye for daytime.  I think it's kind of refreshing.  Mint eyeshadow for everybody!  What do you think, Libras?  Join Galadriel and I, won't you?
