Ever miss how early aughts magazines used to help us pick an aesthetic, or guide us to our “best” beauty match? That’s essentially what the “birth month makeup” trend that’s currently blowing up social media is doing right now.
One TikTok video, from creator @kianadalleave, has picked up over 10.7 million views and 1.2 million likes on the one video alone. It just goes to show that we’re still very much here for whimsy and a little playfulness when it comes to our makeup.
What is birth month makeup?
Like the name suggests, the trend helps to match different makeup aesthetics to the birth months of the year, tapping up your cosmic sign, the season you’re born in, and even your birth stone to help determine the perfect makeup look for you.
Creators on the app have had a go at doing their birth month makeup, reporting back how accurately it captures their personality, or noting that it pushed them out of their comfort zone to try an aesthetic they never would have run with before.

August
Bombshell makeup
August babies know what’s up. You’re birth month has main character energy, what with being one of the hottest months of the year. Add to this the fact that the majority of August babies fall into the confident and charismatic Leo star sign—and end of August babies benefit from meticulous Virgo energy—and an immaculately sculpted bombshell makeup look is the only answer.
