The ‘90s are back and better than ever. Besides the resurgence of ‘90s and early-2000s trends in fashion via low-rise bottoms (courtesy of Miu Miu), graphic crop tops, slip dresses, and more, the beloved era is returning to spark looks within the beauty industry as well. 

These trends were popular on ‘90s It girls Gwen Stefani, Drew Barrymore, Destiny’s Child, and Naomi Campbell, now get ready to spot their comeback on 2022’s hottest influencers and celebrities like Bella Hadid, Megan Thee Stallion, and Miley Cyrus.

Thin Brows

 

Seen on practically everyone who was anyone in the ‘90s, thin brows are slowly coming back into style. Unfortunately for those of us who still love our thick, natural Cara Delevigne-esque brows, the beauty community has decided that we’ve neglected our tweezers for far too long now. If you’re intending to partake in the skinny brow trend yet again, we’d recommend going to a professional to sculpt them for you.

Frosted Eyeshadow

 

Pigmented icy blue pastels all over your eyelids was the standard for hot girls. Big stars like JLo, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz, and Angelina Jolie were all seen fronting frosty eyeshadow back in the day. For its comeback in 2022, we’re seeing these silvery-blue pastels neatly shaped and more pigmented than ever before. Less shimmer, more blue.

Lip Liner

 

This fad of 2021 is here to stay. Dark lip liners have taken over TikTok, with many influencers (not just beauty) trying their hand at the eyebrow pencil lip liner trend. According to experts, take your go-to eyebrow pencil and line your lips. Next, fill it in with your typical lip color and add a gloss over it. And voilà, there you have it! The perfect modern twist to the ‘90s lip liner trend.

Dark Lip

 

The ‘90s were known for darker, matte lip colors like browns and maroons, often seen on models like Cindy Crawford, Christina Ricci, and more. Set against a pale foundation shade and smokey vampire-like makeup, the lip added to the intimidating look. This year, beauty brands are keeping up with trends and formulating more lipstick lines that include darker shades for the reinvention of gothic-inspired makeup.

Space Buns

 

Get creative with your hair by playing with tiny space buns! Worn by Resse Witherspoon, Björk and Gabrielle Union once before, the trend is seeing its return via Zoë Kravitz, Kiko Mizuhara, and more for a playful, yet chic everyday look. The best part about buns? There’s no wrong way to style them. Take some tiny hair ties, bobby pins, and hairspray, and a versatile, yet unique, hairstyle is created.

Claw Clips

 

Embrace that effortless aura with the help of claw clips—the perfect accessory to keep your hair in place while still looking stylish. Our favorite thing about them? You can style them with any fit—to the grocery store in sweatpants or to a posh brunch with the girls in a silk slip dress and heels.
