Taurus is the cardinal Earth sign of the zodiac notably ruled by Venus, goddess of pleasure and the arts, and its natives are endowed with determination and passion. Copper is the associated metal and emerald is Taurus' signature birthstone. As a sign connected with material wealth and beauty, I was inspired by Taurus to think of luxury and sensuality. Many of the looks shown here exude these qualities, especially in dewy skin, thick eyebrows, and bold 'love warrior' looks along with products that can help anyone achieve the same look for themselves.

Employing a basic spoolie brush with clear mascara on naturally thick brows can create a variety of shapes to suit your mood, whether it be warrior-goddess or more of the extraterrestrial variety. Highlighters are the key product to create a dewy finish on the skin and this can be achieved with a multitude of products. Highlighters can be applied with a brush, sponge, or fingertips. A few of my favorites are listed here.

In the spirit of luxury and decadence à la Taurus, what could be more appropriate than a gilded mirror compact with an emerald gem?
