From Thin Brows to Frosted Lips: A Throwback to 90s Beauty Trends
The 90s era was all about bold and daring makeup looks, from super thin eyebrows to frosty lips. And while some of these trends may seem outdated in today’s world of natural and subtle makeup, the 90s beauty movement continues to influence the industry.
Let’s take a look back at some of the most iconic 90s beauty trends and how they’ve evolved over the years.
Thin Eyebrows
Back in the 90s, it was all about having the thinnest eyebrows possible – think Drew Barrymore and Pamela Anderson. But nowadays, fuller, more natural looking brows are in. Thanks to the rise of social media and beauty influencers, the trend has shifted towards achieving a more effortless and natural brow.
However, some celebrities such as Rihanna and Gigi Hadid have brought back the thin brow look, but with a more modern twist – a sharper arch and a slightly thicker tail.
Dark Lipstick
Matte, dark lipstick was a staple in the 90s. Shades such as deep berry, chocolate brown, and burgundy were popular. Fast forward to today, and dark lips have made a comeback, but this time with a satin finish and a slightly lighter shade range.
Celebrities like Kylie Jenner have also contributed to the resurgence of darker lips, but with a more modern approach. Her famous lip kits offer a wide variety of shades from pale nudes to deep, vampy hues.
Frosty Lips
Frosty, shimmery lips were a popular 90s trend, seen on celebrities such as Alicia Silverstone and Mariah Carey. But as we headed into the early 2000s, the trend started to fade away.
Nowadays, frosted lips have made a comeback in a more subtle way. Instead of an intense, frosty finish, lip glosses and balms are more commonly used for a subtle shimmer. Kylie Jenner’s lip glosses in particular have been a hit, with shades such as “Literally” and “So Cute.”
Overall, the 90s beauty trends may have come and gone, but they continue to influence the industry today. Whether it’s a modern twist on a classic look or a completely new rendition, the beauty industry continues to evolve and adapt while paying homage to the iconic trends of the past.
