RESURGENCE OF THE 90's MAKEUP ERA

2023 witnessed many swoon-worthy trends and makeup crazes. A makeup trend that profoundly knocked on our doors and left all of us startled is the comeback of 90's makeup. This autumn, look sprightly with the beauty's best trends.

Frosted Eye Shadows

Statement eyes have not only taken over the runways but have also flourished on social media. The frosted eye shadow trend complementing the summer aesthetics adds a pop of colour to your eyes. Captivating all the attention we could see many fashion enthusiasts embrace this vibrant trend including Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid and Doja Cat. This saga of playful colours was initiated during the 90s and was a cult favourite back then. The 90's colour palette was a mélange of iridescent lilacs, vivid lavenders, frosted silver, icy blue and pale pink. Frosted eye shadow levels up the mermaid core aesthetic, a ravishing trend embracing the under-ocean princess. To achieve this look, sweep the shimmer eyeshadow only on the eye socket, middle under-eye or inner corners and contour with muted shades to give more dimension. Amplify your look by keeping the rest of the makeup sophisticated and minimal.

Brown Lips

Red pouty lips are fascinating but a classy shade of brown on the lips exudes elegance. The 90's era swung in the direction of brown, rust, and beige lip colours. This autumn season, we are opting for classic darker lips. Shades of brown like dark berry, mahogany, wine or coffee suit many people's aesthetics, including the dark academia and fairy core aesthetics. Earlier brown lip colours were paired with smokey eyes and minimal makeup. You can achieve smacking hot lips and slay this trend by steering away from an uber matte finish and choosing a lip shade with a dash of shine in it. Apply the lipstick at the centre of your lips and blur it outwards for a 'hastily applied' look.
