Makeup with a 90's inspired look is coming back into fashion - if you were wearing makeup from the first time the 90's makeup was in vogue, there are some things that you will need to do to update your look: If you did not wear makeup in the 90's, then the precision and intensity of 90's makeup will take some getting used to in order to apply your makeup correctly.

Update opaque lipsticks by mixing with Vaseline to create a sheer gloss, or use your favorite clear lip plumper like Fusions' Lip Fusion or Too Faced Lip Plumping Extreme glosses to add some plump to your pigmented pout. Nineties makeup was done with a very precise lip line, a look we got away from when lips were primarily glossy and not as rigid. As long as you apply some sort of base with a lip brush and blend well, you will get the more defined look to your lips without heavy use of lipliner.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize - colors will be heavier, but aging skin tolerates that less well. Consider a good moisturizer like Clinique Dramatically Different lotion. Makeup is nineties colors but will still retain the dewy look.
