Bite Beauty’s Upcoming Zodiac Lipstick Doubles the Color & Doubles the Fun!

Happy Birthday, Geminis! Bite Beauty is celebrating your birthday month in a big way by doubling up on a customized lip color that hit stores tomorrow.

While previous entries into the brand’s limited-edition Astrology Amouse Bouche collection have consisted of only one color, this tube includes a double-sided bullet that you can use to apply either hue or swipe on both for a tailor-made shade. One side features a warm nude with a slight pink undertone while the other is a fresh, cheerful red that allows you to easily switch things up and get as subtle or as bold as you want on a dime.

With a pair of twins to represent the astrological sign, it’s no surprise that it was reflected in the lippie shades selected. As Tara Greene, the astrologer who helped the brand come up with the colors, explained, “Gemini—represented by twins—embraces duality and is all
about having fun. Gemini thrives on change and can’t stand too much sameness.”

After all, Geminis are some of the communicators and innovators of the zodiac. That’s why many actors and musicians like Tupac Shakur, Paul McCartney, Judy Garland, M.C. Escher, Angelina Jolie, Stevie Nicks, and many more are actual Geminis, all discovering new ways to share ideas that connect us all. It honestly shouldn’t be that difficult to spot a Gemini in the crowd because they’re naturally social butterflies with a playful appeal. But if you’re having trouble finding one, Greene says you can usually find them “planning weddings and other big events, running their own PR firm, or leading a brainstorm meeting.”

With double the color, don’t expect this shade to stick around for too long when it hits shelves tomorrow, the 21st. And with Leo season drawing near, I can only think of the brand dreaming up the loudest, look-at-me lip color hitting shelves in the next few weeks to symbolize the zodiac sign that loves the spotlight. But until then, have your mice at the ready to snap this dual-shade up!

Bite Beauty’s Latest Zodiac Lipstick Taps Into Taurus’s Sensual Side

Taurus season has finally arrived, and Bite Beauty has already found a way to indulge: a new lipstick!

The brand has added another lipstick to its Astrology Amouse Bouche collection, and it just hit stores today! As with the others signs released so far, this limited-edition launch uses the signature traits of each sun sign to customize the color. While Aries had everyone seeing red with a fiery hue, Taurus taps into the sign’s element for a muted white-chocolate rose hue that the brand says is the perfect way to treat yo’self.

Thanks to Taurean’s penchant for earthly pleasures, a chocolate-inspired nude seems like a perfectly suited shade for the season. After all, Tara Greene, the astrologer who helped the brand select the shades, says, “[A]ll the finer things in life are essential to beauty-loving bulls.”

They’re the definition of “down to earth” as they’re known to be generous, dependable, ambitious, practical, independent, and reliable — basically, they’re the kind of people you always want to have in your support system. So it’s no wonder why Internet baes like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Channing Tatum, Dev Patel, Megan Fox, Henry Cavill, Rosario Dawson, and many more give us heart eyes.If you’re looking for one of your own, Greene says you can “find them running a florist shop, decorating and re-decorating their stylish abodes, or whipping up a delish new dish.” Yum!

Don’t expect this sultry nude to stick to shelves for long since Taureans love to treat themselves though makeup mavens will likely snap up this nude since it works for a slew of skin tones. With the shades sticking close to the signs’ most significant aspects, I expect to see something light and slightly shimmery for the airy Gemini in the next few weeks, but I also wouldn’t be surprised to see a shade that’s totally out-there, as the sign is known to do the unexpected (we’re looking at you Kanye!). We’ll just have to wait and see!

Bite Beauty Unleashes Its Aries Zodiac Lipstick for the Start of Spring

Sure, my birthday (aka the vernal equinox) is tomorrow, but there’s another celestial event taking place this week that begs every beauty buff to go bold.

Bite Beauty’s latest launch in its limited edition Astrology Amouse Bouche lipstick collection, which will hit Sephora stores on March 21st, takes the signature traits of each sun sign and applies them to a particular hue. While February’s Pisces lipstick offered makeup mavens a chance to get mutable with pretty peachy nude, this month’s Aries addition turns up the heat with an “in-your-face…fiery red,” according to the brand.

There’s no question why this bright and bold red was chosen to represent that Zodiac’s resident ram. According to astrologer Tara Greene, who helped the brand select the shades, Aries is the sign of “winners and wonder women,” like the newly-announced candidate for Governor of New York Cynthia Nixon, Dolores Huerta, Victoria Beckham (who’s slated to launch her own skincare line this year — so psyched!), Maya Angelou, Robert Downey Jr., and Selena Quintanilla-Perez, just to name a few. Greene says those born under the feisty sign are considered to be the take-charge type in any situation whether they’re “sitting front row at spin class (if they’re not the instructor already), saving lives in the ER, or nabbing a round of funding for their hot new startup.”

Aries are also known to be pretty impatient, so don’t expect this shade to sit on shelves for long. In fact, the first two hues released in the collection each sold out within two days of release! This rich, orange-toned tomato red is just as fresh as the start of spring, and would work for a slew of skin shades planning to slick on a layer or to polish up their beauty looks throughout the season and even into the summer. With the shades sticking close to the signs’ most significant aspects, I expect to see an earthy, terracotta Taurus lip color arriving in a few weeks.

Bite Beauty’s Latest Astrology Lipstick Offers a Pretty Neutral Pout for Pisces

It’s almost Pisces season, and according to Bite Beauty, it’s time to pucker up!

The brand is expanding its limited edition Horoscope collection of its popular Amouse Bouche lipstick with inventive takes on each horoscope’s attributes. While the first lipstick in the line offered a deep a rich take on the airy and inventive Aquarius, Pisces is a fresh and juicy take on a neutral in the form of what the brand calls a “pitch-perfect peach.”

Some astrology afficoinados might scratch their heads wondering why a pretty pastel like a lavender or mint green wasn’t picked to represent the romantic and whimsical aspects of a Pisces, but the neutral hue makes a lot of sense! Pisces is the sign of “artists, visionaries, and dreamy creative types,” like Nina Simone, Steve Jobs, Chelsea Handler, Elizabeth Taylor, and the bad gal of beauty herself, Rihanna (just to name a few), according to astrologer Tara Greene, who was tapped by the brand to help select the shades. While they’re considered the most spiritual and compassionate sign of the zodiac, Pisces are also known for working their magic behind the scenes, swimming from social circle to social circle seamlessly to help bring their visions to life — just like a good neutral goes well with anything in your wardrobe or on your vanity.

Or as Greene put in in a press release about the hue, “Pisces are soulful, and like water they ‘go with the flow,’ blending in and out of different environments. Find them painting a masterpiece, writing an original song, or volunteering at an animal rescue organization.”

So don’t sleep on this shade — snap it up ASAP before it sells out! Besides, as a Pisces myself, I would be remiss to miss out on snagging this shade! As much as I love the idea of owning a shade associated with my sign, the fresh hue could also be a great way to transition my makeup from winter to spring without skipping a beat. Plus it could be fun to mix with some of the other shades in the astrology-inspired collection — I’m an Aries rising, after all.

Bite Beauty Launches a Line of Lipsticks For Every Zodiac Sign

The next time someone at a bar asks,”What’s your sign?” Bite Beauty wants you to tell them: “Read my lips.”

The brand has launched a limited edition Horoscope collection of its popular Amouse Bouche lipstick for each sign of the zodiac, with inventive takes on each horoscope’s attributes. To suss out the signature shade for each and their subsequent descriptions, the brand enlisted the help of psychic astrologer Tara Greene, who has over 25 years of experience of reading the stars, tarot cards, tea, and, yes, lipstick.

Aquarius, the first shade in the lineup, is a modern take on a berry with a blue-based hue and a satin finish (an up-close-and-personal look at the shade’s swatch is under the cut). This cooler color is meant to evoke the sign’s association with inventors, pioneers, and radicals, like Angela Davis, Amal Alamuddin Clooney, Joy Mangano, Oprah, and more — “unique individuals who like to disrupt the status quo,” according to Greene. “Aquarians are on the cutting edge, tapped into higher consciousness, and aware of the cultural current, ‘what’s next,'” she said in a press release. “Find them motivating groups, managing teams, and totally ruling (or even inveting) the latest social media app.”

Aquarians are the early adopters of the zodiac. And they clearly got the message early because since its launch on Monday, the lipstick has already sold out at Sephora! Pisces (my sign) is on its way, as it’s slated to hit shelves in February. But I still have my fingers crossed for a re-stock. I mean, why not collect all 12?! Even if the signs don’t always suit your mood or aesthetic, pulling out the shade of your S.O. could be a fun way to add flair for date night. Plus, it can be fun to mix and match if your love of astrology reaches further into your birth chart — a Pisces base blended with an Aries rising hue could look pretty cute!
