A full-on come back of 90’s fashion and beauty that has been trickling in for a few seasons, and continues to burn strong.
From the perfectly arched brows, earthy hues and wispy tendrils made iconic by the supermodel elite, to the vampy lips, kohl-rimmed eyes and chokers that made up the uniform of grunge-girls—these cool-girl trends from the ’90s are back in a big way. Read on for where to spend your beauty dollars for an on-point spring and summer look.
Glitter
While body glitter was big in the ‘90s, nothing is a bigger beauty trend than glitter for 2018. From glittered lids and liner to glitter face masks, embrace that shiny, sparkly pull to playful makeup that makes you feel like the star that you are.
Sheer Glossy Lips
Perfectly lined matte lips have been one of our recent beauty go-tos, with gloss feeling a little forgotten… until now! Gloss is B-A-C-K and the perfect topper to a fresher faced look. Plus, high-shine gloss in a clear or translucent pinky-peach keeps lips looking totes luscious without a lot of colour transfer.
Grunge Eyes
This kohl-rimmed look killed it in the grunge era, creating an intense eye usually done in blacks, greys and browns. Nailing the look today is all about blending and balancing the smokeyness on the bottom lids as much as your top lids.
