Geminis love experimenting with their look and trading notes on their beauty routine with their social circle.

Anyone born between May 21 and June 21 can likely say their sun sign is Gemini, the air sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, technology and transportation. Known for being curious, bubbly, friendly, creative, quick-witted, changeable and interested in a vast array of subjects, Geminis love experimenting with their look and trading notes on their beauty routine with their social circle. Their mercurial, dualistic nature (they are symbolized by the Twins, after all) characterizes their self-care style: They’re always up for flitting from one trend to the next. Whether you’re a Gemini yourself or are looking to gift one, we’ve curated a list of beauty products that are ideal for this cerebral, social air sign.
(And BTW, even if your birthday doesn’t fall between Gemini sun sign dates, you may have the moon or another placement in your astrological birth chart in Gemini, so it’s worth casting a chart, which you can do here.)
Given that Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of travel, it’s no surprise that many people born under the buzzy air sign adore being jet set. That said, Summer Fridays’ super-hydrating, multitasking mask and moisturizer is a must to manage the dryness that comes with hopping from destination to destination.
Information-gathering Geminis love a good fragrance tester sesh—and an intriguing story. Henry Rose has a Discovery Set that offers up both. Gemini-rising Michelle Pfeiffer founded the brand, which features clean, genderless scents with eyebrow-raising monikers like Queens & Monsters and Windows Down. The set is sure to intrigue any Twins person.
If anyone can pull off soft, creamy neutrals one day and wet-effect metallics the next—or even find ways to combine the two—it’s a versatile Gemini, which is why this bold fan-favorite palette from Urban Decay is right up their alley.
Talkative Geminis rely on their hands to express themselves, and the hands also happen to be a body part associated with the sign. So anyone born under the sign of the Twins would do well to have a go-to hand cream like this bestselling rich formula that contains peach and apricot extracts and shea butter to treat dry skin and keep wrinkles at bay.
Anything that comes in a pair was basically made for Twins people, and a set meant to renew and moisturize lips is too perfect for a super-communicative Gemini. iS Clinical’s Lip Polish exfoliates and restores moisture with shea butter and jojoba oil, while their Youth Lip Elixir delivers hyaluronic acid, peptides, and vitamins to plump and smooth.
Playful, curious Geminis are often itching to experiment with their personal style and relish any opportunity to get in touch with their inner kid, which is why they’ll be head over heels for this fun-loving, rainbow-hued nail polish collection from 17-free brand Ella + Mila. The colors even have lighthearted, creative names like Tooti Fruiti Lover Boy and PB Jelly Time.
Because they’re always on the go, Geminis could always use versatile, easy-to-pack cosmetic sets like this lip gloss kit—featuring one lip vinyl, one shimmer glass lip plump and one regular lip plump, all of which boast moisturizing hyaluronic acid and 10+ superfruits. Bonus: A spirited Twins person can mix and match various colors to their heart’s content.
Expressive Geminis love to play around with a sexy, mischievous, even bold cat eye. (Hello, Angelina Jolie.) ILIA’s liquid liner is not only super-user friendly thanks to its smooth gliding power, but its smudge-proof formula also lasts all day, so busy Gemini won’t have to worry about slowing down to bother with touch-ups.
With their innate youthfulness and perpetually buzzing minds, Geminis can’t help but radiate from the inside out. But it never hurts to reach for a subtle blush and highlighter to enhance their natural look. Benefit’s charming mini duo features a soft-pink Dandelion Twinkle highlighter and warm, shimmery pink Shellie blush that’ll serve as a sweet finishing touch for whichever creative look a Twins person is trying on.
