The ’90s fashion trends have made a significant comeback in recent years. And it appears that everything old is now fashionable. And right now it seems that 1990s makeup trends are imitating them.
So, if you’ve always been enamoured of the decade’s beauty and splendour, this post is just for you. In this post, we’ll look at some of the best 90s makeup looks that are still very popular today.
Top 90s makeup that are a trend now:
Defined lip liner
The 1990s saw the emergence of a defined lip as a key trend in beauty. It was popularised by models like Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford. But also then-famous stars like Pamela Anderson. The look gave the lips a neutral-yet-full effect. And it was normally worn with sheer lipstick or bare lips and a dab of gloss. This look has been updated recently by Kim Kardashian, Lizzo, and Bella Hadid. So it’s likely to become even more well-liked this season.
Thin brows
We’re not suggesting that you pluck the beautifully arched brows you’ve spent time trying to grow, though. However, it can’t be denied that the ’90s trend of thinner brows, popularised by Tyra Banks and Drew Berrymore, has started to resurface. Use a brow freeze gel to form your brows first. Then pencil and shade them in a slimmer shape with concealer to mute a portion of the current volume. This makes for a less drastic (but also commitment-free) means of attempting this fad.
Icy and pastel eyeshadow hues
In the 1990s, creating a bold eye looked a little more diverse than it does today. Most of us today think a “statement eye” includes a dark and smokey influence in a deep and rich hue. When this fashion was in style, the full lid would have been covered in layers of icy eyeshadow or bright pastels. Britney Spears took this fad to the next level in the 1990s. She did it by applying bold colour swipes to the edges of her eyes. Lily-Rose Depp enjoys the current throwback makeup craze and frequently chooses to give her eyes a smoky effect. Deepika Padukone is also frequently seen sporting this makeup trend on red carpets and other occasions.
Vampy lips
A bold pout was in vogue in the 1990s, when even bare lips were created in a deeper hue liner. This trend ranged from a dark lip liner to a completely dark lip. To achieve the vamp lip homage look, the lips needed to be filled in with a definite shape and a dark shade. People usually choose brown or plum. This bold lip style is making a comeback thanks to celebrities like Rihanna and Vanessa Hudgens. This makeup trend is also popular among Indian actresses Sonam Kapoor and Kajol.
Glittery Makeup
If you think you’ve outgrown glitter, take a moment to think again. Because it’s time to update those glittery looks with a contemporary twist. For the supreme throwback beauty look, consider glossy lips, dewy skin, butterfly clips, and plenty of sparkles. If you browse social media, you’ll notice that glitter makeup looks are making a triumphant comeback in our daily makeup routine. For example, this season, we’re all about shimmery, glittery lids and body shimmer.
Natural-looking highlights
You may be surprised to learn that natural-looking highlights emerged at this time, given all the extreme beauty fads of the 1990s. Compared to the then-trendy high-contrast roots and hue trend, this gives beauty enthusiasts a more understated look to imitate. No one has ever better embodied natural highlights than Jennifer Lopez. And we adore how she has made this classic by sticking with it as her signature style.
Moody black eyeliner
There once was such a thing as black eyeliner, used to pencil in the lower and upper lids. No, it won’t “open up” your eye structure the most flattering way. But it is still a fun revival trend to experiment with when creating a moody, vintage eye. You may have noticed Indian beauty queens Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone frequently sporting this makeup style.
Bright blush
In the 1990s, “more is more” was the guiding principle for achieving the era’s signature flushed appearance. So rosy cheeks achieved with vibrant blush were regarded as a must-have. Therefore, this season, let’s not be afraid to add some colour to your cheeks.
