Gemini Your best eyeshadow color is: Yellow One to try: L'Oreal Paris HiP Bright Shadow Duos in Flamboyant, $6.99 Why: Energizing and stimulating, this is a color filled with radiance and light. It has the ability to lift your spirits. Wearing it increases your memory and communication skills. How to wear it: "Bright sunshine yellow can be beautiful as a pop of color on inner corners of eyes and lids. Finish with a smoky black [outer] corner," says Karsten. Next: Cancer Taurus Your best eyeshadow color is: Green One to try: Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Eye Shadow Duo in Green Eyes Organics, $7.95 Why: This color rejuvenates the spirit. It resonates with stability and healing and gives you balance of strength and substance. Wearing it helps heal the body and attract wealth and prosperity. How to wear it: MAC Pro artist Jennifer Karsten says: "Try taking an olive [green] and sweeping it on the eyelids and lower lash lines around a [black] fully lined eye for a smoky look." Next: Gemini Aries Your best eyeshadow color is: Red One to try: Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow in Heat, $18 Why: This color signifies passion, strength and courage. Wear it to increase your strength, energy and vitality when beginning something new or initiating action. How to wear it: Apply vibrant red shadow over a neutral or gray shadow to tone down the brightness. And be sure to apply eye drops if necessary first; you don't want the red shadow to highlight red eyes (and believe us, it will). Next: Taurus Cancer Your best eyeshadow color is: Pink One to try: Bobbi Brown Metallic Eye Shadow in Pink Pearl, $20 Why: This color inspires love and can be worn in times of change or transition. It is also a good color to wear when you're in need of emotional healing. Wearing it opens the heart and increases receptivity. How to wear it: "To avoid the 'bunny rabbit effect,' keep pinks on the 'icy' side with a bit of white in them. Try a soft rose shade with a more muted tone as a natural wash of color all over lids and into crease and keep the lashes 'starry eyed' with a light [coat of] mascara," says Karsten. Next: Leo Leo Your best eyeshadow color is: Orange One to try: MAC Eye Shadow in Orange, $14.50 Why: This color resonates with power and greatness. Wearing it increases joy and optimism and also assists in aligning you with riches and your position in life. How to wear it: Try wearing orange as eyeliner for a subtle pop. Wet a thin, flat brush and draw a line of orange powder shadow along upper lash lines. Next: Virgo Virgo Your best eyeshadow color is: Royal blue One to try: Josie Maran Eye Shadow in Magic (a shimmery gray navy), $20 Why: This color resonates with beauty, purity and wisdom. It helps ease tension and promotes tranquility. Wearing blue opens the mind and encourages patience and eloquence.

Next: Sagittarius Sagittarius Your best eyeshadow color is: Teal One to try: Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Super Shimmer in Peacock, $14 Why: This color will enhance wisdom and optimism. Wear it while traveling or exploring. It promotes tolerance and understanding and is useful in dealing with others who have alternative points of view.
