The '90s was a decade known for its memorable music and romantic comedies, but it also left us with a mixed bag of beauty trends, which, let's face it, were still better than the 2000s. Whether you were a fan of the '90s looks or not, one thing is clear: minimalism had no place in '90s makeup. Celebrities and models embraced bold and daring choices, from dark lip liner to sparkly eyeshadow, pushing the boundaries of maximalism. Ultra-thin eyebrows, frosted lips, and even face gems were all part of the authentic '90s makeup aesthetic.

While we might have thought these trends were long gone, some of the hottest makeup looks from the '90s are making a fierce comeback. Today, everyone is embracing maximalism and taking their makeup looks to the next level.

If you ever rocked fabulous flipped ends or remember the struggles of removing body glitter, chances are you're a '90s kid who gets a strange sense of nostalgia when seeing stick-on earrings. So, let's take a trip down memory lane as we highlight the best beauty trends from the '90s that are currently making a stylish comeback.

Brown Lipstick: 

Achieving the '90s brown-lipstick look is incredibly easy with just one product. Apply your favorite brown lipstick all over your lips, and instantly, you'll be transported back to the '90s.

Bitten Red Lips:

Bitten red lips have always been a classic and timeless makeup trend that exudes sophistication and confidence. This iconic look involves applying a rich red lipstick that mimics the appearance of just-bitten lips, giving a subtle yet alluring effect. The beauty of this trend lies in its versatility, as it can be worn for both casual and formal occasions.

Face Gems:

Crystal eye makeup in the form of face gems is taking the runways and red carpets by storm. You can easily achieve this look at home with a few minutes of application.

Thin Eyebrows:

Thin eyebrows may still be a matter of personal preference, but celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kylie Jenner have embraced the trend. If you're not ready for thin brows, you can try the faux '90s brow trend.

Frosted Lips:

Mastering frosted lips is a breeze because it's all about the gloss, not the color. Opt for a lip gloss that offers high shine, and you'll have the perfect '90s-inspired pout.

Brown Lip Liner:

Brown lip liner, known as the '90s "supermodel lip," has been spotted on stars like Kim Kardashian and Lizzo. To achieve this look, simply line your lips with brown liner, leaving the center nude.

Blue Eyeshadow:

While a full blue-eyeshadow look might not be as prevalent nowadays, we've seen it making a comeback in the form of fierce eyeliner, such as Hailey Bieber's reverse blue eyeliner at Coachella.

Body Glitter:

While we haven't fully reintroduced body glitter into our makeup routines, we've embraced a subtler variation: body highlighter. This shimmering trend is currently in high demand, with numerous products available to help you achieve that radiant glow at home.

As the '90s and '80s trends resurface, it's clear that they continue to inspire and captivate the world of makeup. Embrace the nostalgia and have fun experimenting with these iconic looks, adding your own modern twist along the way. Whether you're channeling the bold and colorful '80s or the maximalist charm of the '90s, there's no shortage of inspiration to draw from. From neon eyeshadows to statement blush and over-the-top lip colors, let your creativity soar and create a makeup style that is uniquely yours. The beauty of these throwback trends is that they provide a sense of fun and individuality in a world that constantly evolves. So go ahead, dive into the '80s and '90s beauty vault, and unleash your inner makeup artist.
