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'tall 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.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters.

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
