Today’s post is all about woman’s makeup and cosmetic
trends. Makeup looks from the ‘grunge look’ to neutral tones and no-makeup
looks.
The early 1990’s makeup trend, ‘grunge look’, primarily
consisted of dark red lipstick, slept-in, heavily-applied black eyeliner and black
nail polish. Dark eye shadows and mascara were also used to keep the eyes
looking dark. Grunge music was a strong influence in this makeup look due to
its rising popularity in the early 90s. This style continued into 1994 but was
getting out of style the year after.
During mid 90s, neutral tones became desirable and woman had
a broader colour palette with a wide variety of neutral, light pink and brown
shades. For eye shadows, lighter shades on the lids and darker shades in the
crease then the brow bone highlighted. Eyeliners were usually dark and only
applied on the top lid. Matte lipsticks were also a trend that emerged where
dark shades of red were worn for an evening look.
Blue-frosted eye shadows became fashionable.
By 1997, lip gloss and sparkling, glittery makeup had come
into style. It was called ‘Y2K makeup’ and consisted of facial glitter and lip gloss.
What 90s trend are you still sporting today?
Thanks for tuning in!
