Makeup of the 90s

The make-up of the 90s is a fashion boom that turned out to be on the verge of bad taste at that time. Most of all this was manifested in the post-Soviet countries, where women were finally able to use foreign cosmetics and touched fashion trends from European countries and from America. So began the unprecedented so far bold experiments in makeup. Nowadays, many fashion critics are inclined to believe that this was a time of fashion bullying.

And although they know perfectly well that fashion has the ability to return from time to time, and that everything new is well forgotten old, but they would not want to return the fashion of those years.

The make-up of the 90s, which came to the countries of the former USSR, had a lot in common with the fashion that was relevant for America and Europe in the early 80s. This is a very bright and outrageous fashion. Its feature, above all - in the individuality. The face should look as if it had just been washed - fresh, natural, with slightly shiny sponges. Hair should be different violent colors, you can gather in a knot tail on the side, make hair "Page" or curl curls. Perhaps the most famous fashionistas of the time include such celebrities as:

• Julia Roberts;
• Bjork;
• Courtney Love;
• Jennifer Aniston;
• Sharon Stone

Since in the former USSR it was still too early to talk about the development of fashion industry and beauty salons, Russian fashionistas had no choice but to take as a basis the appearance of just such celebrities whom they could see on the page spreads of expensive glossy publications.

A woman of the 90s is a girl with lush curls of rich tone, lipstick with glitter on her lips, the same shiny shadows on her lips, her cheekbones are underlined with bright blush. A short dress is necessarily decorated with numerous sequins, if the girl has leggings, then necessarily bright, complemented, as a rule, with a “ragged” sexy T-shirt, which was worn with shorts, and shoes with tall heels were necessarily decorated with rhinestones.

1. One of the principles of make-up of the 90s is “minimalism”. This is manifested in the natural makeup and preference for matte shades. For powder with rouge - natural peach and pink tones, for lipstick - solid, terracotta and brown tones, for the contour of the lips - a darker color.
2. The choice of style "Grunge." He guesses the "ragged" women's haircuts, the unusual tone of the curls, the way the eyes are thickly folded, the false eyelashes and the lipstick saturated tones of dark brown, cherry and even purple.
3. Electrician. This means a matte texture in the shadows, tonal means and lipsticks, in the naturalness of the eyebrows, in the relief of the cheekbones and richness of the lips with natural shades, underlined by blush.

But it was only until the evening when the young people began to preen and go to the disco. The girls very quickly got rid of the restrained day makeup and turned into the ultra-modern beauties of their time.

If you were invited to a disco in the style of the 90s, with incendiary rhythmic pop music, with huge hanging balls that glitter and rotate near the ceiling, with break dance and crazy pa-n-roll, then you need to properly prepare for such in the evening, so that you look accordingly.

Nothing complicated in this process will not be. It should only be taken into account that the image is determined not only by make-up, it is unlikely that it will be clear to someone that you are in the image of a girl of the 90s, if you don’t try to dress in the same spirit and take care of those years. Make-up of the 90s does not require any additional accessories and tools, except, perhaps, lipstick - its tone is desirable to be saturated orange or cherry.

For a make-up in the 90s it was not necessary to have some particularly tanned skin, or vice versa - with aristocratic whiteness. It is clear that the problem areas of the skin must be applied corrective means, disguising them in this way. Only one should not use such modern means as bronzer or highlighter - this is, of course, beauty, but artificial, whereas in the 90s everything natural was more welcomed.

• The use of foundation creams is not necessary - it is enough to mask small flaws to use only the corrector, then you will have a more natural and fresh look.
• Powder is applied in a thin layer. moreover we choose delicate shades, and after that we emphasize the cheekbones with the help of a wide brush and rouge. They must match the color of lipstick, usually they were pink and peach tones.
• Eyebrow shape should be arcuate, and for greater expressiveness, they must be emphasized with an eyeliner or a shadow with a corresponding tone.
• Now make out the eyes. First of all, bright shadows should be applied on the upper eyelids, which should be carefully shaded. Then eyeliner - black, brown or dark gray, and in conclusion - mascara on the eyelashes, they should turn out long and fluffy.
• Lipstick for lips is selected in a bright tone. The contour is underlined with a pencil a little darker in tone. Transparent gloss is applied over lipstick.

Tips makeup artists and stylists with experience:

• Make up of the 90s is recommended to be done without applying foundation, only with corrector.
• At brows the form is welcomed accurate and natural.
• Eyes should be very expressive, so eyeliner is a must.
• The contour of the lips is recommended to allocate a pencil on the tone darker than lipstick.
