Lined Lips Or Pink Eyelids? I Tried 2 Throwback Fall Makeup Trends

Looks of the '90s are projected to lead Fall 2021's top makeup trends, with a range of easily recognizable trends that defined beauty more than 20 years ago.

Highlighting pronounced features and fully lined lips, this was the decade of both sultry-sexy neutrals and over-the-top everyday glam. Inspired to create a fresh take on throwback makeup trends this season? Keep scrolling for my take on the iconic looks inspired by my childhood. Dark and sultry, or fun and flirty: Which '90s sweetheart are you?

Dark And Sultry

When the '90s supermodel ruled the world, there was a mix of both sexy-sultry with an ultra cool-girl exterior. Two of my favorite icons, Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks, were the leading ladies of beauty and makeup trends during the decade.

Never shying away from a beat face and stunning looks to match, I was inspired to recreate a combination of two looks using a glossy lined lip and dark undereye pair.

Along with the '90s lip and undereye liner, I went for a sultry shadow for more of a neutral fall vibe. Perfect for an evening out, I absolutely loved this look.

Fun And Flirty

This dreamy '90s-inspired makeup look is a fun and flirty combination when going for a bit of drama. With a pop of pink lips and eyeshadow to match, the iconic combination, inspired by Clueless, is a super fashion-forward look that should be worn sparingly.

Although impressing myself, there is such a thing as overdoing it. Wearing brighter colors felt a bit out of my comfort zone, but I still loved it. In my opinion, go for both a lighter lip and eyeshadow for a daytime look.

Of the two looks, I gravitated toward dark and sultry. Confident and chic, I truly felt like a '90s bombshell.
