It’s no secret that the 90s were the best decade for makeup. Between all of the bold colors, glittery eyeliner, and matte eyeshadows, you could make your face look like an explosion of coolness in just a few minutes. It was also one of the only decades where it was acceptable to wear frosted lipstick or green eyeshadow with wild abandon-and still be considered fashionable! The best part is that you can recreate this look without looking too dated. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!
Step 1: Foundation and Concealer
As the base for your skin, you’ll need a foundation (and concealer if you’re like me and have typical “problem areas”) that matches your skin tone perfectly. Make sure to blend it in well so that there aren’t any harsh lines on your face or anything! A trick for this is to use a beauty blender-it helps to create an airbrushed look.
Step 2: Eyeshadow
For the eyes, you’ll want to use a matte eyeshadow in a natural color like beige, brown, or taupe. Sweep this all over your eyelid, from the lash line to the crease. This will help to set the base and make the rest of your eyeshadow look brighter.
Step 3: Bright Eyeshadow
Now it’s time for the fun part! Choose a bright eyeshadow in a color that you love and sweep it all over your eyelid, from the lash line to the crease. Make sure to blend well so that it doesn’t look too obvious. it’s okay if you use a little bit of glitter in here-just make sure that it isn’t too chunky or over the top.
Step 4: Eyeliner
To give your eyes a little touch of sparkle, draw on some eyeliner with a glitter liner or else just use the same bright eyeshadow you used before. Be sure to go above and beyond your lash line to give yourself that 90s makeup look!
Step 5: Blush, Highlighter, and Lipstick
Finally, dust on some blush (in a shade that complements your skin tone), add some highlighter (preferably in the inner corners of your eyes to make them pop), and choose a matte lipstick or lipgloss in an appropriate shade for your lipstick. If you want to be extra daring, throw on some glitter body spray for good measure!
Now that’s what I call a 90s makeup look! It might seem like a lot of work at first, but it only takes about five minutes to do-why not give it a try the next time you’re feeling adventurous? Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Choosing the right products
When choosing the products to use for your 90s makeup look, it’s important to go for bright, bold colors. Think matte eyeshadows in shades of pink, red, and orange, as well as glitter eyeliners and mascaras.
If you’re not sure which products to use, there are a few different options. You can buy a premade 90s makeup look, or you can buy a few individual products and create your look.
If you decide to go with a pre-made look, there are a few different options available. There are a few palettes that offer a range of colors that are perfect for recreating the 90’s look. Or, if you want an even more diverse range of colors, you can buy a few individual products and use them in combination to create this look.
If you’d prefer to go with an individual product for each item, there are a few things to keep in mind. For eyeshadow, try matte pink or orange shades. You can also add some glitter to the look by applying a glittery shade over the matte color. Make sure to use a range of shades, including light and dark colors. For eyeliner, you can use a black liquid liner, or try adding some glitter to your look by using a glittery eyeliner in brown or gold.
