6 Common 90s Makeup Mistakes

The pendulum of changeable fashion constantly swings, throwing us from one extreme to another. Following her, we obediently curl or straighten curls, rush in search of a fashionable tone of lipstick or nail polish. However, it is easy to see that fashionable images of a certain era return from time to time, suddenly becoming the most relevant beauty trend of modern fashion. Together with estet-portal.com, we bring to your attention an overview of the most striking beauty failures of the end of the last century, because the best way to avoid your mistakes is today — analysis of someone else's, albeit unsuccessful, experience. So, let's study information that will become relevant for any girl who tries to keep abreast of everything related to fashion and appearance.

Perm — chic from the 90s

Now it seems almost unbelievable, but a good half of our women went with a perm in that "harsh" time. The fact that the hair will become dry and brittle, lose shine, & nbsp; I didn’t have to think: in addition to fashion, this hairstyle was also very practical, since curls lasted from three months to six months. Considering that in conditions of total shortage, it was not so easy to buy even a high-quality shampoo or hairspray, "chemistry" seemed an excellent way out and was very popular even in the dashing nineties.
There was another option for using a perm . This is the so-called "bang-washcloth", when only a rather short strand of hair above the forehead was curled. This type of bangs evoked vague associations with clothes with a brush,

The most fashionable eyebrows: where and how much to remove

Fashionistas of all times and peoples strive to improve the shape of the eyebrows in all conceivable and inconceivable ways. Imitating the dazzling fashionable images of beauties from Hollywood films, many domestic fashionistas also stopped plucking their eyebrows "in a thread", trying to give them a modern, fashionable shape. Of course, not everyone succeeded in doing it carefully, without overdoing it with the width.

It was a special success in those years to get a high-quality pencil that would help to correct the shape, and no one had even heard of shadows and mascara for eyebrows. Is it any wonder that in such a difficult time it was difficult for girls to achieve the perfect shape of their eyebrows?

Fortunately, for a modern woman, the problem of improving the eyebrows is much easier to solve. To give the desired shade, makeup artists recommend using shadows that are slightly lighter in tone than your hair, this will make your look more open. Shadows must be carefully blended and fixed with a transparent gel.

Fashion looks: black eyes or panda look

Another typical mistake that a huge number of our contemporaries continue to repeat when trying to create a fashionable image also came to us from the distant eighties. We are talking about incorrectly drawn "arrows". There are a lot of options here: too long or wide lines of "arrows", eyes with a solid black outline, as well as other, no less "interesting" options. It remains to be assumed that the ideas of such makeup were borrowed from pop stars or famous actresses. However, it is better not to use the tricks that are acceptable in stage make-up in real life, since the bold continuous contour around the eyes visually reduces them, makes the face rougher.

Experts recommend for  beautiful, neat arrows using a felt-tip eyeliner or helium eyeliner, which is applied with an angled brush. In addition, the tail of the arrow should not be too long or curled down.

 

A riot of colors or a realm of shadows

Of course, experiments in the field of make-up and attempts to create a fashionable image were not limited to chemically burned hair or ridiculous, overly wide eyebrows. Multi-color palettes of shadows pushed fashionistas to other experiments — now with color. The choice of the color of the shadows was motivated by anything: they were matched to the color of the eyes (lipstick, bags or leggings). However, with all the variety of options, the pink-lilac range was considered a special chic, it was used by brunettes, blondes and brown-haired women. The fashionistas of the last century tried to compensate for the lack of quality cosmetics by the amount of applied makeup, which stubbornly did not want to stay on the face.

Another feature of fashionistas of that time — "Smoky Ice", made in black. Today, makeup artists strongly recommend using softer, brown and gray shades.

Retro study in lilac tones

Particular passion for pink and lilac colors was a real trend, although it was not so easy to find the right color of lipstick or gloss for a fashionable look in such mysterious colors. However, the matter was not limited to the defiant brightness of the color, since the lipstick was supposed to shine with a mother-of-pearl shine. It was not easy to get such a treasure, but the enterprising fashionistas of the nineties did not get lost, combining matte lipstick with mother-of-pearl gloss or eye shadow.

It is possible that a professional make-up artist working in tandem with an equally professional photographer will be able to make spectacular lips with pearl lipstick on a model in a cosmetics catalog. In real life, such lipstick, as a rule, makes lips thinner, and in addition, emphasizes every wrinkle, reveals all imperfections.

Experts recommend looking for more natural, warmer tones and opting for a matte lipstick that can add a little extra volume to your lips.

Who in the world of all blush

Of course, blush was also not ignored by fashionistas of the last decades of the last century. And, of course, not everyone here was guided by a sense of proportion. The blush was quite distinct, quite intense, the color varied from brick to pink. Needless to say, such a "war paint" had nothing to do with a fashionable look and competent daytime makeup, which is characterized by restraint of natural tones. Alas, some women repeat this mistake even today.

In order not to repeat such a mistake, experts recommend limiting the use of blush to a moderate amount of blush, since an unnatural, too bright blush will make the face rougher, emphasize all skin imperfections.

The make-up worn by fashionistas of yesteryear sometimes seems ridiculous and strange to us, because capricious fashion ruthlessly declares as ugly bad taste what only yesterday seemed just stylish and bold.

Women, whose youth fell on a very difficult time, learned to express themselves, using all the means available to them. Of course, we will generously forgive today's mothers and grandmothers the ridiculous and defiant make-up of their youth, thanks to them, today it is much easier for us to get around many typical mistakes when creating our own, individual fashionable image.
