The ’90s Makeup Trends We Can’t Wait to Try This Year
March 02, 2023
’90s Supermodel Eyes
To recreate this ’90s-supermodel-inspired look, blend a mix of matte brown and black shadows in your crease and outer corners, and be sure to wing the colors outwards to elongate the eyes. Any neutral eyeshadow palette will do, but we love the NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Color Palette in Ultimate Queen.Blue Eyeshadow and Nude Lips
Blue eyeshadow was a ’90s beauty staple, as were nude lips lined with dark brown lip liner. Recreate the look by packing a pale blue shadow on your lid and crease with a flat eyeshadow brush, and heavily line your lips with a chocolate brown shade.Dark Berry Lips
A deep berry lip is an easy way to try out the ’90s beauty trend. We love the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick in Le Plum Dominant, a deep plum shade that looks great on every skin tone.Grunge Smoky Eyes
Smudgy, smoky eyes and taupe lipstick look just as cool in 2023 as they did when grunge music soared to popularity in the early ’90s. To master the grunge makeup look, use your fingers to blend out a creamy black eyeliner, like the Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil Dramatic Eyeliner in Café Noir.Monochrome Makeup
Toasty brown shadows complement a warm nude lip perfectly. Replicate the warm brown tones with the Urban Decay Naked Half-Baked Mini Eyeshadow Palette.Frosty Lips
For full, frosty lips, slick on a layer of the NYX Professional Makeup Filler Instinct Plumping Lip Polish Gloss in Brunch Drunk. The gloss is flecked with champagne shimmer and contains a powerful plumping complex.
