So, Let's Talk About Lips
Real eyes, Realise, Real Lies
Sported by icons JLO, Britney and Christina Aguilera (pre-transformation to Xtina, of course), frosty pastel coloured lids were a staple of the era — Natasha Denona’s {Pastel Palette} is perfect for achieving this look yourself. Her stay-all-day shadows include metallic, duo-chrome and multi-chrome finishes (AKA what '90s dreams were made of).
How about a superpower glitter liquid eyeshadow? about-face's {Fractal Glitter Paint}, available in eight shimmer-loaded and high-impact smooth mousse shadow shades, this high-performing formula doesn't crack, crease, fall-out or transfer — we're impressed!
Or for a less obvious choice Huda Beauty's {Mercury Retrograde} palette has the perfect selection of shimmery glittery hues (pass the clear quartz asap!).On the other end of the spectrum( away from the innocently sweet baby doll looks) kohl rimmed eyes were the vibe. For inspiration, look to the '90s classic The Craft and bad witch Nancy Downs, Courtney Love or the subculture superheroes Riot Grrrl.
Arm yourself with a good kohl liner and start defining, not only along your lash line but your water line (top and bottom) too. Then smudge it out — the messier and more 'lived in' the better. Charlotte Tilburys {Rock'n'Kohl} is the perfect pencil for this, thanks to the addition of crushed pearl powder in the formula, which adds a subtle lustre. Or try Chantecaille and their {Luster Glide Silk Infused Eyeliner}, which is super pigmented and ultra-blendable It's time to start channeling your inner Kate Moss...
