Features and make-up in the style of the 90s

Make-up of the 90s of the twentieth century now attracts the attention of many young girls. Vivid images from the past are easy to recreate using modern cosmetics. The main thing is to stick to simple rules and not be afraid to experiment with colors.

For starters, it is worth noting that girls in Russia and America in the 1990s painted differently. In the USA, the peak of popularity of bright colors and unusual images fell on the 70s and 80s of the twentieth century.... It was then that women experimented with their appearance and created vivid images in the disco style. In the 1990s, American women fell in love with more natural makeup. This can be seen in the example of the heroines of films and TV series of that time. Style icons of the 1990s include Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston.

In Russia, the situation was slightly different. After the collapse of the USSR, a lot of scarce goods appeared in the country. Women wanted to experiment with bright lipsticks and eye shadows. Therefore, they were often painted in an unusual way. Russian beauties used blue eyeshadows, red lipsticks and colored eyeliners. The girls tried to follow American fashion, inspired by the images of American actresses and singers.

When creating makeup in the style of the 1990s, you can use both old post-Soviet photos and American posters as inspiration. In general, such a make-up has the following features.

1. Optional use of foundation. Previously, a light and even complexion was in vogue. But in the 1990s, the images became more natural. Women did not try to change their native skin color. Cosmetics were usually used only to mask various redness and breakouts.

3. Variety of shadows. In the 1990s, girls almost always painted their eyes with shadows. For daytime makeup, they used lighter products. In the evening, bright shadows were applied to the eyelids.
4. Clear arrows. Evening makeup was also most often complemented by straight, clear arrows. They were painted with both classic black eyeliner and brighter means.
5. Volume lashes. To make the eyes look more expressive, they were always emphasized with black or dark brown ink. It was usually applied in 2-3 layers.

3. Eye makeup usually doesn't take long. For a 1990s look, leave your eyebrows intact. If they are naughty or too light, you can emphasize them with a transparent gel or a light pencil. But you should not get carried away with a clear drawing of each hair.
4. After that, you need to apply shadows of a suitable color to the eyes. For daytime makeup, beige, light pink or peach eyeshadows are usually used. They must be shaded thoroughly.
5. You can add expressiveness to the look by drawing neat thin arrows on the upper eyelid. They should only be slightly curved upwards.

2. Do not overload the image with details. Despite the fact that in the 1990s, both lips and eyes were brightly painted, now it is worth focusing on only one thing.
3. Do not get carried away with shading cosmetics. Then, straight arrows and a clear lip contour were in vogue. Therefore, the products do not need to be shaded after application.
