No matter if they were seen on Neve, Janet or Drew, revisit the 90's makeup trends you loved back in the day. Whether you looked good rocking full-on face glitter a la Gwen Stefani during the height of No Doubt popularity or opted for the subtler look of barefaced beauties like Winona Ryder, the 90s had a look for you. Revive the days of blue shadow, lip liner and other 90's makeup looks with some of the trends listed here.
Shine On
Metallic shadow was practically the neutral of 90's makeup. Channel the shimmery look in a pretty (and pretty bold) way by sweeping a powder or cream shadow over the top lid to just above the crease and smudging under the bottom lid. Add a liner in black, brown or a darker metallic for added drama. For shadow, we love Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow, $32.
In the Nude
A nude lip shade only a bit darker than your natural skin tone creates a chic 90's makeup look that's still modern. This trend is especially easy to do with the liquid matte lipsticks on the market today. Try Bare Minerals GEN NUDE Matte Liquid, $18, because its cream to matte formula leaves lips moisturized all day long.
Join the Glitteratti
While those little pots of gel glitter we used to use 20 years ago are better suited for Halloween, there are plenty of new glitter creams on the market. For an updated Coachella-style look, spread glitter cream from eyelids out to temples and your upper cheekbones.
Stay in Between the Lines
Ombre isn't just for hair. You can revolutionize the lipstick plus liner look by blending three shades of lip color to create a more pronounced pout. After prepping with a lip primer, start with a dark liner just outside the lips. Line the middle of your lips with a liner that's a few shades darker. Use a bold lipstick all over, and then dot a light high-shine gloss in the middle of the lip. Blend and go!
Shades of Blue
Look more mermaid than 80's prom with a deep jewel-tinted blue like Rihanna's. Try Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadow in Paranoid, $21, for deeply pigmented coverage.
Paint it Black
Or paint it plumb, boysenberry or midnight 90's makeup style. In homage to Courtney Love and her famous grunge glam, use a deep matte shade on your lips.
Au Naturale
90's makeup mastered the art of "I woke up like this." To get barefaced beauty, start with a color correcting primer like Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base SPF 15, $23.50. Conceal any blemishes and follow with a sheer foundation for a no-makeup makeup look.
