The style report on trendcentral has declared a new trend: The 90s are back.
Phat!
This is major news for all the girls (mememe!) who spent 1994 in baggy “boyfriend” jeans, refused to pluck bushy eyebrows, and lived in Clinique’s Rum Raisin lipstick. And, of course, never left home without a scrunchie....
The article points to some very specific 90s trends, but I’m taking this a step deeper: I’m going to tell you which modern makeup match will let you relive the 90s - without actually having to grow out your brows:
Totally 90's: Flower Prints
To Donna Martin, Brenda Walsh, Kelly Taylor, and the entire collection of hats that appeared in every episode of Blossom, we salute you.
Modern Match: Cargo’s PlantLove™ Botanical Lipstick
The packaging isn’t the only thing infused with flowers (literally! Plant the box and sprout a fleur-ty bouquet). These hothouse hues are crafted with Cargo’s own natural Orchid Complex.
Totally 90's: Color Changing Fabric
The best part about wearing those Hypercolor tank tops was letting the hot boy in Homeroom leave his heated handprint on your back.
Modern Match: Smashbox’s O-Gloss
This intuitive lip gloss is nothing like the mood lipsticks of 1991 (why did they always turn hot pink?). Thanks to the marvels of modern chemistry, this gloss actually reacts to your individual skin chemistry for the right rosy flush that’s perfect on you.
Totally 90's: Manic Panic Hair Dye
What Mother Nature herself didn’t produce, Manic Panic took care of in shades like Electric Banana, Atomic Turquoise, and Vampire Red.
Modern Match: Make Up For Ever’s Flash Color
The names are a bit more subtle (gentle-sounding Gold, Violet, and Wine), but the colors certainly aren’t. These high-watt shadows stay bold and stay put all day. ROY G BIV couldn’t have done a better job.

Neat comparisons!
I have a follow-up for my own 90s list: my sister would like me to add the fact that every single ounce of makeup anyone wore in 1990 also had to be matte. Anything that wasn't matte already got the cover-it-in-powder treatment.
Of course, I'd also like to add belly (I had one) and nse (my sister had one) rings....but what makeup trend does sterling silver match up with?
