The ’90s makeup trends are the new retro decade to be refashioned in fashion currently. Slip dresses worn over t-shirts with combat boots, Mom jeans, and grunge plaid are seen time and again. Then what about ’90s makeup trends? At that time makeup was all about matte, flawless skin, the smoky and edgy eye looks, lips liner, pale lipstick, blue eyeshadow, and glitter.
These are some ’90s makeup trends to revive in the modern era! Use your free time to try and transform your looks according to them.
Dark Lip Liner and Shimmer Lipstick
In the 90s Lipstick was most often cool matte or metallic warm brown, as worn by some famous models at that time. However, another crucial role in the lipstick game was dark liner with pale, shimmery lipsticks. Pamela Anderson, Naomi Campbell, and Destiny’s Child favored this look, plumping out their already luxurious lips.
Tips to Try it:
- You need to start off with your go-to deep nude liner and very slightly over-line your lips, softening the line with a lips brush or clean, solid eyeshadow brush.
- After that, you need to pop a paler pink or nude lipstick or crème onto the center of the lip and press it out to meet the liner with your fingers.
- Use Lavish that would be perfectly paired with a chocolate brown liner, with a little shimmery nude gloss on the center of the lip.
- In the end, take your nude liner again and slightly fill in the outer corners of the lips to make them fuller and highlight the pouty paleness of the center lips.
Blue Eyeshadow
Blue eyeshadow along with Smokey eyes and red lips and matte skin was one of the highest styles in 90s makeup fashion. The brow bone was coated in super cold silvery shadow and the waterline was bitterly lined with black kohl. That was a classic style to try. Now, blue eyeshadow is back, but in a more modern way.
Tips to Try it:
- First, you need to take a shimmery blue cream eyeshadow stick and draw it over the mobile lid, smudging it out with your fingers
- Then take an ultra-frosty silvery shadow or cream and press into your brow-bone (the more opaque, the better)
Draw navy or black pencil onto your tight line and waterline to transform your looks according to 90s/early-2000s smoky eye complete with spidery lashes.
Body Glitter
These chunky glitters normally suspended in gel, which can be rubbed all over your bodies, faces, and in your hair.
Tips to Try it:
- First, you need to apply a hydrating moisturizer and primer to get the skin ready for all that paint.
- Then lay down a full-coverage matte or satin foundation.
- You need to add a lighter, creamy concealer to the under-eyes, nose, and chin and blend in with a small brush or scrubber.
- Then add a skin-matching matte shade to the entire eyelid, then buff a deep taupe shade into the crease and lower lash line. Press a chocolate-brown pencil into the upper lash line and smudge in.
- Apply plenty of mascara.
- Apply a satin bronzer to carve the cheeks and warm up the hairline, temples, and under jawline.
- Buff a rosy or brick-toned blush into your cheeks
- In the end, draw a matte brown liner over the entire mouth and top with a creamy matte brown or nude lipstick to the center of the lips.
