REVIVAL OF ‘90S MAKEUP TRENDS

20 years later, the Gen-Z is making statements recreating the 90s makeup with a modern twist.

The adage, ‘what goes around comes around’, fits ostensibly when modes in the beauty industry are concerned. Recently, the ‘90 decade has been making heads turn both in reel and real life as makeup trends.

The 90s era saw a rise in grunge aesthetic while gloss and liner duo lived rent-free through the decade.

The Gen-Z is making statements recreating the iconic 90s makeup with a modern twist. City First asked a few makeup artists and beauty influencers how to ace 90s makeup trends today.

Viny Verma, Makeup Artist and Jewellery Designer said, “Makeup is what people have been doing and loving for ages.

I would say the 90s makeup trend has done a comeback but in modern style. People have started loving those soft and subtle looks with heavy winged eyeliner adding some coloured liners in a modern twist that looks fierce and fabulous.

Overlined lips are in trend, also not making it look bad because of some modern tips and tricks. Brides are also loving this.

As a Makeup Artist, I've seen people loving and experimenting with it yet they are keeping that 90s makeup vibe.”

Apeksha Rathore, freelance makeup artist and beauty blogger said, “Perfected Matte Skin is so ’90s and so in fashion now.

Dewy skin is also a trend, but this is more classic if you ask us. Brown Lipstick has been back ever since and what makes it so loved by so many is that it looks good on just about every skin tone and is wearable enough for every day.

White Eyeshadow was all the rage in the ’90s. A frosted eye look was everyone’s go-to look for red carpets and performances.

Maybe because it stood out on stage or because it is a simple one shadow look. Either way, it is making a comeback.

Today’s version of a frosted eye is a little bit less pastel.” Soumya Sharma , make-up influencer said, “In my opinion some of the 90s trends that are making a comeback are -

•  Dark brown outlined lips - they are making a comeback but with a twist i.e. Bold overlined lips with lots of blinding gloss.
•  Terracotta-hued orangey bronzer cum blush to add both structure & colour to the cheeks leaving the rosy pink cheeks.
•  Frosted eyeshadow: Frosted eye makeup involves using pale blues to sparkling purples and shimmery whites, cool-toned shades that instantly brighten the eyes.
