'90s Beauty Trends We Still Love

It was a simpler time.

'90s Beauty Trends We Still Love
Cosmopolitan

Ah, the 1990s: a decade full of girly pop music, classic sitcoms, saxophone-playing presidents and Tamigotchis. It was a simpler time, one when you could come home from school, take out your butterfly clips and turn to MTV to watch some Spice Girls music videos. And while there are some beauty and fashion trends of the decade that we'd like to forget (skinny eyebrows, baby buns and parachute pants—oh my!), many of the decade's best looks are making a comeback, and girls across the country are proudly embracing them while simultaneously giving them their own personal touch. So get out that dark lipstick and blue eyshadow, it's time to step into a beauty time machine.

1. Brown lipstick

This look could seen all over the red carpet in the 1990s, especially being paired with bold lip liner. Now we can thank Kylie Jenner for it's revival. She's been seen rocking the shade and even has her own matte brown color called True Brown K, available in the Kylie Lip Kit.

2. Blue eyeshadow

We've come a long way since the days of just covering your eyelid in a single frosty blue shade. Now there are plenty of electric blue shades available from brands such as Kat Von D Beauty and Urban Decay cosmetics. To revamp this look, try using a royal blue with silver and gray tones to highlight the crease and inner corner of your eye like YouTube's Trisha Paytas does.

3. Crimped hair

We know what you're thinking, "is crimped hair really back in style?" The answer is yes! It may not be Iike you remember it, but using a larger crimping iron like the Bed Head Deep Waver anyone can achieve voluminous, wavy, hair. It's like the crimped hair of the '90s, just a little less uptight.

4. Baby braids

These cute braids are perfect for festival season or just to accent your everyday hairstyle. They're quick and easy to do, making them perfect for a busy school day. Don't feel the need to go overboard like Christina Aguilera, just a few poking out underneath straight strands adds a nice touch.

5. Serious side parts

We can't all be supermodels like Cindy Crawford, but tossing all your hair to one side is a good start! Whether your tresses are pin straight or naturally curly, brush them out and make a deep side part for a look that's every bit dramatic as it is natural and flirty.

6. Sky blue nails

Blue Hard Candy nail polish was an essential in every teens life in the 1990s, and while the shade is still bubbly and beautiful, it could use an upgrade. Instead of simply painting on a coat of the shade, find a nail specialist and get today's all-the-rage look of almond shaped nails.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
