Put simply, the 1990s were a magnificent time for beauty. Yes, there were some regrettable moments (pencil-thin eyebrows, endless body glitter), but many '90s makeup trends hold up today: matte lipstick, bold eyeshadow, natural curls, and lip gloss with lip liner, just to name a few. We even had some cool new beauty aesthetics to draw from, like the beach blonde (Pamela Anderson) and the mob wife (Sharon Stone).
Now that we're firmly in our '90s renaissance era, it's only right to reflect on the '90s beauty trends that hold up in 2024 (...with a few tweaks here and there).
