And?? Yall act like anyone born after 1990 are burdens and aren't worthy of living just because they didn't experience the 90s lmao if it makes you that disappointed then you need help
I was a teenager in the 90's and definitely did NOT wear periwinkle, purple or pink eyeshadow (yuck- too much like my mom's 80's eyeshadows!). I turned 18 in 1996, so I was a teen throughout of the 90's. I wore a lot of neutral tans, browns and gold tones on my eyes and a lot of brown based colors on my lips and nails.
L B I was 14 in 1996 and every day I wore Benefit's Bad Gal eyeliner (the original, which was a HUGE kohl pencil that smeared everywhere) and frosted blue lipstick from Delia's
I too was a teenager in the 90s. I turned 13 in 93 and this is not accurate. There were different styles. The all denim style, vamp style (black, burgundy, wine red), dark metallics (especially copper), the snob style with all plaid like clueless. And don't forget the Kelly from 90210 short hair style. The tattoo chokers were just black. The small round shades Lennon style in different colors. Also the there was a trend of lips in colors like white, blue, green. The zigzag hair part. French nails and dark burgundy nails were in or just plain with clear polish and they were short. About makeup it was almost no makeup, no glittery eye shadow and the lipstick was almost matte, a lot of browns and neutral colors or the panda eyes with nude lips and very light to no blush.
What about blue? I was a toddler back then (born 1992) but I remember teenagers and people around me wearing it casually. Like, it wasn't in magazines but people used it.
I love how historically accurate this is, I keep seeing just the replica 90s grunge inspired makeup videos but this is much more accurate & true to the era.
@@LornaKelso Maybe because you and your friends were grunge & you happened to be in an area that was more into grunge music in general or something? Zabrenas look is totally historically accurate, it's a more "popular girl" mainstream kinda look. The 90s had multiple looks, not just grunge.
EL ZORO I’m not saying Zabrena’s look isn’t historically accurate. I was disagreeing with your comment that this is more true to the era. There were many styles in the 90’s. You were saying that this one is somehow more 90’s than the grunge style. I was saying that grunge was definitely a thing also. Do you remember the 90’s?
@@LornaKelso I didn't say that. You're confusing me with the original poster of this comment thread lol. When would you say that grunge was at it's peak? If I had to guess I'd say 1993-1997. It seems like such a "mid 90s" thing when I think back.
Finally an adequate 90s makeup video with thin eyebrows and no bronzers, highlighters and heavy contouring! You look more 90s than all of the '90s makeup tutorials made from "professional" makeup artists. Just nailed it!
Unfortunately, I was born too late to be a 90s kid (1999). However, I was born to a mother who is a 90s fanatic and I have followed in her awesome footsteps. I love the 90s soooo much! Lauryn Hill, Gwen Stefani, Naomi Campbell and Aaliyah are some of my style icons. OH! And TLC (my mums fave band!)
Would 1995 be considered late? I never really felt like it was too late as i felt i did experience a lot of the 90's like buffy and charmed started after i was born, the whole jelly sandals that were in, the weird 90's hairstyles shown in the video, butterfly hair clips just like the ones in the video and the 90's music.
MultiBigbird01 I feel the same way really, I grew up with a lot of 90s culture. I think by technicality 90s kids would be ppl born in 1984-92 because they would've been 7-13 in 1999 which is basically childhood (also old enough to remember events). Buuut I honestly feel like kids born up to 2000 experienced the 90s too. So we're still 90s kids at heart 😎
Jessica Sebastião I always see stuff like 'only 90s kids would remember' but like i was born in 1997 and I remember it all. I feel like the late 90s and the early 2000s really bled into each other a lot.
Brown makeup, thin eye brows, dark nails, flat face. I NEVER wore blush. I have to say, I'm still attracted to raisin colors. Everything was brown and neutral.
Class of 98 here and my friends thought I looked like a combination of Tye from clueless and Rose from Titanic - they used to tease me sooooo much LMFAO
I love this style of 90s makeup. The supermodel and grunge look was alright but the dark lip liner, skinny brows, brown lipstick, and matte skin is just so beautiful to me on everyone. Like I just shaved and tweezed my brows because I’m literally a 90s makeup stan lol 😩
Aahhh, Lisa Frank, overalls and those itty bitty butterfly clips! What a time to be alive!! - - - - - I do kinda like how fashion is going backwards now.. a lot of styles from the 90's and 80's are popping up everywhere! I'm personally looking forward to when the styles from the 60's makes a come back!! I would like to get myself another see-through phone, though - those things were just awesome!!
i was in my 20's in the 90's and em what was primer.. i never even heard of it. i used matte foundation put on with my fingers. and then i powdered my face.i never used blusher I had never heard of eye primer then either. the eyeshadow was put on with those little eyepad applicators. i used dark black eyeliner to make a cat eye. then i either used brown eyeshadow and used black eyeshadow on the outside to create a smokey eye. and i either used pink or red lipstick. i carried my makeup to touch up during the working day. i have big blue eyes and was always complemented on my makeup.. maybe you heard of all the products in the 90's but i didnt.. thanks for the vid girl have a great day!!!
I was 26 years old in 1990. I remember that infomercials were just really taking off and I ordered Victoria Jackson makeup. It was the first time I had blended two shades of foundation. What fun! Another favorite of mine was the workout show on ESPN Body By Jake. He helped me get back into shape after giving birth to my first daughter. By the time my daughter was two years old, she used to go around repeating his catch phrase..."Don't Quit" and copied his workout moves. I videotaped her imitating him and I thanked him for motivating me to workout every day. Jake loved the video and wrote me a letter and sent Body By Jake T-shirts for my family. I thought that was so sweet! Amazing video Zabrena! xoxo Laura
I graduated in 95 in Seattle and remember using Revlon's Rum raisin, soft brown eyeliner and just a dusting of a tan colored eye shadow, for cheeks it was a barely there nude looking blush.Some girls had really heavily lined smudgy eyes and dark grungy eye shadows.
I turned 20 in 1990 so I spent every year of my 20's in that decade and I feel like it shaped my whole style of makeup and beauty (yep giving away my age here lol). That pale, matte face was something I strived for so I used this FULL coverage matte foundation from Estee Lauder that came in a tube - it was specifically designed for people with facial scars and birthmarks. And I had my eyebrows waxed so much in the 90's that they stopped growing back so now I have to really work with them (IT Cosmetics Brow Power works pretty well). I finally got it through my head in about the past 5 years that I don't need all that matte coverage so I have toned my foundation down quite a bit, mostly I use BB cream but once you have that certain style pounded into your brain it's hard to change LOL I've been catching up on The X-Files lately and Scully is a great inspiration for anyone looking to get the normal, everyday-woman 90's look. She's got that neutral-mauvey eye and deep lips, the pale skin......totally fabulous! I enjoyed your tutorial very much!!
OMG I used to wear Revlon's lipstick and nail polish in the colour "Toast of New York" back in the 90s. I would steal it from my sister all the time lol. I miss the 90s :D Thanks for sharing!
I can see it now...me, sitting in my room (which was COVERED from floor to ceiling in Backstreet Boys posters) with my shirt tied up in one of those goofy plastic things that scrunched it to the side, listening to BSB, NSync, or whatever, bathing myself in bath and body works blueberry glitter spray (cause it smelled sooo gooood, lol) while waiting to be taken to the mall to buy butterfly hair clips, and hit clips!! Haha Z, thank you so much! This was a wonderful trip down memory lane! I'm pretty sure I had the same brown lipstick, mine was in a silver tube that came up when you pulled the little button down. LA Colors? I think? Pretty sure the color I wore was called "Chocolate" lol!! I have it on in my 8th grade photo! Heh...thank you again! This was fantastic!
***** haha and they were soooo expensive! My parents only got me like 2 or 3 of them, and didn't they only play about 30 seconds or a minute of the song?? Haha good times!!
I bet all the 90s christian mother's had a heart attack at the very name of the product and then proceeded to blame it on influencers such as Britney spears. lmao
i was 8 through 18 in the 90s lol. so many memories lol. i didn't do much with makeup just lip liner, lipgloss, eyeliner and maybe foundation. i did wear a light brown or mauve on my lips lol. loved those butterfly hair clips and i still have them lol. i was *obsessed* with lisa frank folders and stationery!!!!!! lol loved all the pretty colors and still like when colors are mixed like that. i put colorful backgrounds on my iphone all the time lol. 90210!!!!! omg i LOVED that show and dawson's creek!!!! total 90s baby here lol. great look and video, nice blast from the past ;)
I miss the 90s so much. I was a kid, not a teen, but of course we kids liked to copy the same trends! When I was 8 years old, I had this sparkly teal mini crimper that I begged my mom for, butterfly clips with moving butterfly wings which were the coolest... couldn’t wear makeup, but it was always about either red or sparkly nail polish. And HAIR GLITTER. Oh and those same braids you’re wearing.... Lisa frank everything.... I didn’t own a bubble chair, but friends did. Desperately wanted my own phone line! ... every guy had frosted tips and spiky hair, jerseys down to their ankles, and chains. I was in middle school in the early 2000s and the trends hadn’t changed too much. No more butterfly clips, but it was still pretty Lizzie McGuire
I was a teen in the 90s and still remembee my makeup routine: Cover Girl powder (from my compact), thin eyebrows using Maybelline pencil, brown eyeshadow palette with an iridescent shimmer on the lids, Maybelline mascara, liquid eyeliner (thin line on top lid, close to lashes), and swap meet Jordana lipliner in Nutmeg as an outline filled in lips with natural lipstick.
90's was my favorite era. I remember rocking dark lips in school either with toast of ny or blackberry. Mostly blackberry though. Ah... The good old days
I loved all the goopy glitter and lip glosses at the time! In regards to hair, I loved crimping, random little braids and twists/cornrows around the hairline!
I am an 80s kid, but the 90s were the most memorably for me. By day I was the conservative paralegal working for the 4th largest law firm downtown Seattle and by night either performing with my band or just bathing in the music at the now dead hot spots where you would hear bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Hole, L7, Babes in Toyland, Mother Love Bone and on I could go. I miss those clubs some great ones were Gorilla Gardens, RKCNDY, Weathered Wall, Vogue, Gibson's (played there a few times), just to name a few. That was a musical era I will never forget and luckily I passed it on to my daughter along with my Seafoam green Strat just like the one Courtney Love used to play. Those were the days........
I was 20 in 1990 and graduated in 1991. The 90s were So MUCH FUN, and I remember all the makeup trends you show. I loved vamp, dark lips and thin brows- all very elegant. What is with the caterpillars all the RUclipsrs are wearing over their eyes today - it’s ugly. Ironic that I did not wear any of the trends back then, but I loved the look. The 90s were the last time that short curly hair styles trended. Please bring it all back. Think I’ll get some vamp and rum raisin for Fall 2023, and see if I can start the trend in my city.
Totally random-ish video topic, but what if you chose a specific celebrity that has had a long enough career that their makeup look or style has changed (i.e. Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Miley cyrus...) and make it like a "Makeup through the years: [Insert celebrity here] edition". I know this might seem super weird or stupid to some (or all except to me) but I hope this makes sense to someone lol & by no means am I demanding you do this! Anyways this was an awesome video and I always love seeing videos like this, Keep up the great work!
I wore Loreal Mattique foundation, brown liner, and Revlon Rum Raisin in the 90's along with a Jane matte brown lipstick that I can't remember the name to. I also wore the little braids in my hair like you are wearing.
As a kid I used to get a foundation lighter than my skin tone and use a dark lip stick or gloss and brush it over it with eyeshadow. I would take one dark color (black, burgundy, or a deep red color) outline my lips and then brush my inner lips with a dark or light red depending. I also remember some of the wild crazy colors like blue and a really light nude or white. I thought I was just doing my own thing since they didn't have YT tutorials back then. Your 90's tutorials surprised me. I thought I was just doing my own thing. Amazing how easily influenced we can be by our surroundings without realizing it.
Omg I remember that Cindy Crawford ad and the lipsticks! I wanted it so bad! I remember being in middle school, but my mom wouldn’t let me wear it yet lol aaah memories! Thanks for this video!
Ahh! so many memories! I did the 90's grunge look more than this look, but still a great trip down memory lane. I'm still trying to grow my over plucked eyebrows back to this day! Great video :)
I'm 35 so I was a teenager in the 90's, this video brought back a lot of memories:) I definitely was not a fan of the whole rave scene with the glow sticks and pacifiers, remember that lol! I sure loved my Jewel and Fiona Apple cds. Clueless was my favorite movie and I loved 90210:) Brown lipstick with brown eyeliner used as lip liner and purple eyeshadow was my favorite makeup look haha!
Yasss my favorite decade after the 50s! Every time there's a new Historically Accurate makeup tutorial my heart skips several beats. Well done as always! xoxo.
I just watched Chasing Amy the other day and it made me miss the 90s so bad! I've been listening to a lot of throwback grunge music lately...been missing that in my life, I guess... I'd say my favorite trend was the cute little baby tees with cute little logos on them. Also a-line/baby doll type dresses, chokers, CHUNKY shoes with platforms, cK One unisex fragrance. And BODY GLITTER! I miss all of it! I remember doing my hair in those little twisty buns! I remember making my own baby blue nail polish with a bottle of white polish and then I opened a blue marker and squeezed some of the juice from the ink-soaked fiber inside. What I DON'T miss are my brows! So skinny...was not a good look for me! And those ads you featured brought back memories of reading Cosmo magazine! I sooo remember those ads! And Kevyn Aucoin was THE man!!!
Chasing Amy...what a movie. Still love it!!! Thanx for reminding me of platform shoes and short tops with logos on them... I had a few of both haha! I can't believe the 90 'tees is talked about as "back in the days.." really? Am I THAT old?? Hahaha! Loved your comment BTW.
Omg the butterfly clips 😍 me and my husband first date was to the mall where we had our pictures taken in one of them photo booth things. And of course I had my all done in them butterfly clips 🤣 wow I feel so old. This Oct. Will make 20 years that we have been married ❣️ time sure flies by when your having fun!
The beautiful thing about the 90's was that people were into a more natural look. Today's makeup is super fun, but there's nothing like a face that looks untouched, but absolutely perfect. That was really big; how do you wear makeup without looking like you're trying?
Ahhh the 90's! To me the 90's and the very early 2000's were some of the biggest advances in history. Computers advanced, internet, cell phones, flat screen TV, HD TV, DVD players, area codes added to phone numbers, and SO much more!
Those "coiled buns" are called "bantu knots" and they, along with the cornrow styles were started by Black women who wore them as part of the natural hair movement that kicked off in a major way in the 90s.
this is the most accurate 90s look. all youtube tutorial ive seen kinda mixed it with those tumblr baddie look. like damn i just need 90s. thank you zabreena!
Smokey eyes and nude lips in my 30's. It worked then, but doesn't work now at almost 60...But I love myself and life more now and appreciate every moment - so it's a pretty fair tradeoff.
YOUR HAIR IS SO ACCURATE! omg I love this section!!!!! That baby blue nail polish is one of my favorites nowadays!! I didnt know such pastel shade was popular in the 90's... I wear it so often
I love this series! You always have the best ideas! I appreciate all the research you do for accuracy. I enjoyed the little inserts of info. I was busy raising my son in the 90's so it's mostly a blur apart from him. Awww, the joys of motherhood! :-)
Oh wow you brought back lots of memories!!! I was more the 90's grunge goth back in the day, and I loved Drew Barrymore's look from then. Thank you for this vid
OMG I remember those Revlon ads and Cindy Crawford. Wow! I still love Wines and Mauves and similar shades. They look good on me. Why not? I’m a 90s kid and began wearing makeup in 1996....so yeah, I’m a little stuck there but I cool with that. I can’t say it was a great time but it sure was simpler. Wow! Total nostalgia, my entire childhood relived. Simply spectacular! Thank you, Zabrena!
OMG the butterfly cllips!! haha I wore those suckers all the time. And yeah they hurt like hell when you stepped on 'em Did anybody else have that corded phone that was see through and it lit up when it would ring? Oh and I used to take old cassette tapes and stick a piece of paper in the top so I could record songs from the radio onto it lol
I was just a wee child in the 90s (born in 1989), but I remember seeing that Vamp nail polish everywhere and deciding that I just had to have it (back then I called it 'black cherry'). My mom got me a bottle of a similar colored nail polish from WalMart and I wore it all the damn time! I thought I was hot stuff! (and I was, I think, 8 or 9 years old).
I had blond hair in the 90's as well. You're not the only one! So fun to watch this one (although I love all of this series) because these are trends I remember doing!
I'm much older than you I'm guessing but I love your channel, just recently found you and I'm watching your older videos. You are so talented and easy to relate to. I can actually use a lot of your tips and I appreciate that you use a lot of affordable makeup.
Ohhh, the memories. This is spot on. And you look so pretty with the Rachel hair! I actually had butterfly hair clips, where the wings actually moved when you moved, so it looked like butterflies were dancing in your hair. Lol. I had them in green, purple, and for faaaancy days, gold! Lol. Ugh, memories.
I remember when the spice girls cassette came out lol. My friends mom drove us to the mall so we could all get it. Then we decided which spice girl we would be and of course I was Scary Spice since I was the only black girl that group of girls lol. She was the best one anyways
I like the makeup the way blush wasn’t overused and the lips where slightly dark the photos from the red carpet looked so beautiful came to recreate one of those looks
These kind of videos are the reason why I decided to subscribe to your channel a few months ago, they're so interesting! You add a lot of details and information and I find it super useful. Absolutely loved this video Z ❤️❤️
I love this look! I've been trying to find a simple 90s look but almost every look on RUclips is today's look with colours from the 90s. Thanks for this one :)
Hey, everyone, Boomer here!! I was in my 30's in the 90's and I think it was my prettiest decade in my life so far, in my opinion!! I wore the neutral look and a short shag cut, but I switched to a whole new look after I went through a difficult time for awhile. After that, I wore Ash Violets eyeshadow by Clinique, Pewter liner, Porcelain foundation, Sugar Cane lipstick, and did the Clinique 3-step skin care!! Yep, a confirmed Clinique-aholic!! I still love their products, but I'm financially pinched right now, so I've switched to Almay for now( it's okay make-up, but won't take the place of my Clinique!) Anyway!! I digress!! Thanks for your great tutorials, you're da bomb! You rock!!😉😍
Loved this vlog. Love brown lipstick. I would love if you would copy/create makeup from either Kim Novak from the movie Bell, Book and Candle (she is a wonderful witch) or Emmy Rossum from Phantom of the Opera.
1700s lacquered look, late 1700s soft look, Regency look, Victorian or Edwardian, 1910s or maybe latter part of the 1910s after the war when makeup started to take a public hold.
The fact that we say "historically accurate" for the 90s, makes me feel old :(. This was the best decade hands down!
FabulousNat AGREED!! LOL ;)
Agreed!
Yes it makes me feel old too and yes the 80s and 90s was the best the eyebrows today is just now me I love the Browns in the 90s
i wasn’t even born yet and i will always think it was the best decade
@@siennaz8270 same
Slowly sinking in...Some of the teens viewing this see it as history rather than nostalgia...
don't do that to my brain
27Nichy I'm nostalgic towards this even though I'm 14. I grew up with a lot of 90s stuff and my mom still dresses as though it's the 90s.
Yep, I was born in 2000 and I'm graduating high school next year
And?? Yall act like anyone born after 1990 are burdens and aren't worthy of living just because they didn't experience the 90s lmao if it makes you that disappointed then you need help
people born in 2000 are adults now
Tattoo chokers (that are making a come-back), baby doll tops paired with cargo jeans, flannel and Doc Martens, overalls, brown lipstick and Nirvana.
SLAMSwan Funny you should mention the chokers. I still have a collection of them from the 90s that I wear to this day. Still good as new! 🙂
I was just at the mall today and omg it's all coming back, I too still have my tattoo choker lol
I remember chokers. I was 27 yo mom to start and was too busy to be into trends.
OMGGGGGGG!!!! Nostalgia!
just like today

I don't agree with you there. I was a 90's teenager and my friends and I all wore our makeup in the grunge style.

Finally an adequate 90s makeup video with thin eyebrows and no bronzers, highlighters and heavy contouring! You look more 90s than all of the '90s makeup tutorials made from "professional" makeup artists. Just nailed it!
Not really.
should feature zigzag part in hair... lol
YAAAAS! I remember when that was popular and I tried to do it myself, but somehow I ended up knotting my hair.
OH MY GOD I WOULD ALWAYS ASK THE HAIR DRESSER FOR THAT
Sarah S. lmao! I didn't know that was a thing but I would always do a zig zag!!
Yessssssss
omg yess my husband & i love the 90's so he always parts my hair like this for me lol
Unfortunately, I was born too late to be a 90s kid (1999). However, I was born to a mother who is a 90s fanatic and I have followed in her awesome footsteps. I love the 90s soooo much! Lauryn Hill, Gwen Stefani, Naomi Campbell and Aaliyah are some of my style icons. OH! And TLC (my mums fave band!)

Do you remember what brand of foundation you would use? & was it powder foundation or liquid?
Class of 99 ya'll... I totally had that Chanel Vamp nail polish. I miss the 90's trends. My Garden Botanica Bronze lipstick was everything...
sacredsiren class of 2000 aayyyooooo
Gaaah Class of ‘99 here too!!! 😀😀. Dude, Docs, eyeliner, and overalls.
'99 here too! Docs, miss my perfectly lived in boots! I'll admit I had those overalls & do you recall the onesies & cords?
Class of 98 here and my friends thought I looked like a combination of Tye from clueless and Rose from Titanic - they used to tease me sooooo much LMFAO
You graduated the year I was born. Just turned 20 March 2nd 🥳
OMG, this is literally how I did my makeup as a teen/college student in the 90s. Smudging the liner and MAC brushes. YES.
I'm in my 40s and this really explains my makeup instincts today
I wish 90's fashion and makeup would come back.... Those were the best times lol
Also... Rum raisin was the bomb... I had the lipstick and nail polish in that color!!!
I HATED jelly shoes. I had a pair and they rubbed my feet raw in an hour.
Lysse Kennedy I think they're coming back and I'm really happyyyy
They are! and not only 90s fashion. I'm debating whether or not I should wear my mom's old denim skirts since they're back on trend haha.
I wish the 50s would come back lol
I love this style of 90s makeup. The supermodel and grunge look was alright but the dark lip liner, skinny brows, brown lipstick, and matte skin is just so beautiful to me on everyone. Like I just shaved and tweezed my brows because I’m literally a 90s makeup stan lol 😩
Aahhh, Lisa Frank, overalls and those itty bitty butterfly clips! What a time to be alive!!
- - - - -
I do kinda like how fashion is going backwards now.. a lot of styles from the 90's and 80's are popping up everywhere! I'm personally looking forward to when the styles from the 60's makes a come back!! I would like to get myself another see-through phone, though - those things were just awesome!!

Another favorite of mine was the workout show on ESPN Body By Jake. He helped me get back into shape after giving birth to my first daughter. By the time my daughter was two years old, she used to go around repeating his catch phrase..."Don't Quit" and copied his workout moves. I videotaped her imitating him and I thanked him for motivating me to workout every day. Jake loved the video and wrote me a letter and sent Body By Jake T-shirts for my family. I thought that was so sweet! Amazing video Zabrena! xoxo Laura
I graduated in 95 in Seattle and remember using Revlon's Rum raisin, soft brown eyeliner and just a dusting of a tan colored eye shadow, for cheeks it was a barely there nude looking blush.Some girls had really heavily lined smudgy eyes and dark grungy eye shadows.
I turned 20 in 1990 so I spent every year of my 20's in that decade and I feel like it shaped my whole style of makeup and beauty (yep giving away my age here lol). That pale, matte face was something I strived for so I used this FULL coverage matte foundation from Estee Lauder that came in a tube - it was specifically designed for people with facial scars and birthmarks. And I had my eyebrows waxed so much in the 90's that they stopped growing back so now I have to really work with them (IT Cosmetics Brow Power works pretty well). I finally got it through my head in about the past 5 years that I don't need all that matte coverage so I have toned my foundation down quite a bit, mostly I use BB cream but once you have that certain style pounded into your brain it's hard to change LOL I've been catching up on The X-Files lately and Scully is a great inspiration for anyone looking to get the normal, everyday-woman 90's look. She's got that neutral-mauvey eye and deep lips, the pale skin......totally fabulous! I enjoyed your tutorial very much!!
Ann Hatfield lol i didn't even tweeze or wAx my eyebrows was all natural...lol
OMG I used to wear Revlon's lipstick and nail polish in the colour "Toast of New York" back in the 90s. I would steal it from my sister all the time lol. I miss the 90s :D Thanks for sharing!
I can see it now...me, sitting in my room (which was COVERED from floor to ceiling in Backstreet Boys posters) with my shirt tied up in one of those goofy plastic things that scrunched it to the side, listening to BSB, NSync, or whatever, bathing myself in bath and body works blueberry glitter spray (cause it smelled sooo gooood, lol) while waiting to be taken to the mall to buy butterfly hair clips, and hit clips!! Haha Z, thank you so much! This was a wonderful trip down memory lane! I'm pretty sure I had the same brown lipstick, mine was in a silver tube that came up when you pulled the little button down. LA Colors? I think? Pretty sure the color I wore was called "Chocolate" lol!! I have it on in my 8th grade photo! Heh...thank you again! This was fantastic!
Wait? Is this your story you're telling, or mine? haha Wow good memories.
I think it was by Bonnie Bell. I had one too.
PrincessHokulea you're right! Haha thanks!!
***** haha and they were soooo expensive! My parents only got me like 2 or 3 of them, and didn't they only play about 30 seconds or a minute of the song?? Haha good times!!
Bonnie Bell FlipShades!
It is a crime to look this beautiful
Wet N Wild's lip liner in #666 was THE color. Fill them in and a little frosty beige gloss in the middle. Lol!
Oh yeah!
Me too!!! I just bought another one! Lol!
Rite aid, walmart, or cvs.. Sometimes target... Its called Brandy Wine now... They sti have the 666 on it though
I bet all the 90s christian mother's had a heart attack at the very name of the product and then proceeded to blame it on influencers such as Britney spears. lmao
i was 8 through 18 in the 90s lol. so many memories lol. i didn't do much with makeup just lip liner, lipgloss, eyeliner and maybe foundation. i did wear a light brown or mauve on my lips lol. loved those butterfly hair clips and i still have them lol. i was *obsessed* with lisa frank folders and stationery!!!!!! lol loved all the pretty colors and still like when colors are mixed like that. i put colorful backgrounds on my iphone all the time lol. 90210!!!!! omg i LOVED that show and dawson's creek!!!! total 90s baby here lol. great look and video, nice blast from the past ;)
This look would fit in SEAMLESSLY on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's how you know you did it right. :D
izzybeth yes!!
I miss the 90s so much. I was a kid, not a teen, but of course we kids liked to copy the same trends! When I was 8 years old, I had this sparkly teal mini crimper that I begged my mom for, butterfly clips with moving butterfly wings which were the coolest... couldn’t wear makeup, but it was always about either red or sparkly nail polish. And HAIR GLITTER. Oh and those same braids you’re wearing.... Lisa frank everything.... I didn’t own a bubble chair, but friends did. Desperately wanted my own phone line! ... every guy had frosted tips and spiky hair, jerseys down to their ankles, and chains.
I was in middle school in the early 2000s and the trends hadn’t changed too much. No more butterfly clips, but it was still pretty Lizzie McGuire
I was born in 97, but I love everything 90's. Dark lips, X-Filed, Tim Burton's glory days.
Sophie N do you even remember 90s? 😂
I was 5-6 in 97. So my mid to late childhood was in the mid to late 90s.
I was a teen in the 90s and still remembee my makeup routine: Cover Girl powder (from my compact), thin eyebrows using Maybelline pencil, brown eyeshadow palette with an iridescent shimmer on the lids, Maybelline mascara, liquid eyeliner (thin line on top lid, close to lashes), and swap meet Jordana lipliner in Nutmeg as an outline filled in lips with natural lipstick.
THANK U SM FOR POSTING THIS OMW TO BUY THEM
90's was my favorite era. I remember rocking dark lips in school either with toast of ny or blackberry. Mostly blackberry though. Ah... The good old days
I loved all the goopy glitter and lip glosses at the time! In regards to hair, I loved crimping, random little braids and twists/cornrows around the hairline!
So many butterfly hair clips. I think we all did the butterfly headband at some point. lol so bad.
This is the holy Grail I needed for 90s day at school. I thank you
I am an 80s kid, but the 90s were the most memorably for me. By day I was the conservative paralegal working for the 4th largest law firm downtown Seattle and by night either performing with my band or just bathing in the music at the now dead hot spots where you would hear bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Hole, L7, Babes in Toyland, Mother Love Bone and on I could go. I miss those clubs some great ones were Gorilla Gardens, RKCNDY, Weathered Wall, Vogue, Gibson's (played there a few times), just to name a few. That was a musical era I will never forget and luckily I passed it on to my daughter along with my Seafoam green Strat just like the one Courtney Love used to play. Those were the days........
This is incredible what an amazing time to live in Seattle! Teenage me would've been so jealous haha
Seattle sound!
yesss seattle pride baby!!! grunge lives on over here lol
Wish I had been in Seattle during those years.
I was 20 in 1990 and graduated in 1991. The 90s were So MUCH FUN, and I remember all the makeup trends you show. I loved vamp, dark lips and thin brows- all very elegant. What is with the caterpillars all the RUclipsrs are wearing over their eyes today - it’s ugly. Ironic that I did not wear any of the trends back then, but I loved the look. The 90s were the last time that short curly hair styles trended. Please bring it all back. Think I’ll get some vamp and rum raisin for Fall 2023, and see if I can start the trend in my city.
Totally random-ish video topic, but what if you chose a specific celebrity that has had a long enough career that their makeup look or style has changed (i.e. Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Miley cyrus...) and make it like a "Makeup through the years: [Insert celebrity here] edition". I know this might seem super weird or stupid to some (or all except to me) but I hope this makes sense to someone lol & by no means am I demanding you do this! Anyways this was an awesome video and I always love seeing videos like this, Keep up the great work!
Elizabeth Harley Do one for Cher!
Elizabeth Harley That is a great idea! I would love to see Britney Spears lol!
I love this idea!
omg yes like cher or gwen stefani!
Yes to this!,,,,
OH MY GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR UMA THURMAN'S NAIL POLISH IN THAT MOVIE ALL MY LIIIIIIFE!
Omg Rum Raisin, I had that one and the lip liner that went with it.
I wore Loreal Mattique foundation, brown liner, and Revlon Rum Raisin in the 90's along with a Jane matte brown lipstick that I can't remember the name to. I also wore the little braids in my hair like you are wearing.
As a kid I used to get a foundation lighter than my skin tone and use a dark lip stick or gloss and brush it over it with eyeshadow. I would take one dark color (black, burgundy, or a deep red color) outline my lips and then brush my inner lips with a dark or light red depending. I also remember some of the wild crazy colors like blue and a really light nude or white. I thought I was just doing my own thing since they didn't have YT tutorials back then. Your 90's tutorials surprised me. I thought I was just doing my own thing. Amazing how easily influenced we can be by our surroundings without realizing it.
Omg I remember that Cindy Crawford ad and the lipsticks! I wanted it so bad! I remember being in middle school, but my mom wouldn’t let me wear it yet lol aaah memories! Thanks for this video!
favorite 90s trend is definitely the dark lip liner and nude lip
OI Girl glad someone else agrees!
Ahh! so many memories! I did the 90's grunge look more than this look, but still a great trip down memory lane. I'm still trying to grow my over plucked eyebrows back to this day! Great video :)
I'm 35 so I was a teenager in the 90's, this video brought back a lot of memories:) I definitely was not a fan of the whole rave scene with the glow sticks and pacifiers, remember that lol! I sure loved my Jewel and Fiona Apple cds. Clueless was my favorite movie and I loved 90210:) Brown lipstick with brown eyeliner used as lip liner and purple eyeshadow was my favorite makeup look haha!
i feel like i'm the gen z version of you tbh. i love fiona apple and clueless and i do my makeup exactly like that lolll 😭
Yasss my favorite decade after the 50s! Every time there's a new Historically Accurate makeup tutorial my heart skips several beats. Well done as always! xoxo.
I was a highschool kid..... circa 1995..... I really miss the edgy grunge looks we did :) thanks for bringing bACK MEMORIES!
This video gave me LIFE! I hear through the grape vine that 90s beauty is making a huge comeback for the fall/winter season.
I just watched Chasing Amy the other day and it made me miss the 90s so bad! I've been listening to a lot of throwback grunge music lately...been missing that in my life, I guess...
I'd say my favorite trend was the cute little baby tees with cute little logos on them. Also a-line/baby doll type dresses, chokers, CHUNKY shoes with platforms, cK One unisex fragrance. And BODY GLITTER! I miss all of it! I remember doing my hair in those little twisty buns! I remember making my own baby blue nail polish with a bottle of white polish and then I opened a blue marker and squeezed some of the juice from the ink-soaked fiber inside. What I DON'T miss are my brows! So skinny...was not a good look for me! And those ads you featured brought back memories of reading Cosmo magazine! I sooo remember those ads! And Kevyn Aucoin was THE man!!!
Chasing Amy...what a movie. Still love it!!!
Thanx for reminding me of platform shoes and short tops with logos on them... I had a few of both haha!
I can't believe the 90 'tees is talked about as "back in the days.." really? Am I THAT old?? Hahaha!
Loved your comment BTW.
Yea and now Alice n chains, nirvana and soundgarden are classics. Makes me feel old as hell.
Hildy van Hefeweizen I really miss those tattoo chokers. Those things were awesome.
+Caitlyn Conboy kids now are wearing them again! Lol
Omg the butterfly clips 😍 me and my husband first date was to the mall where we had our pictures taken in one of them photo booth things. And of course I had my all done in them butterfly clips 🤣 wow I feel so old. This Oct. Will make 20 years that we have been married ❣️ time sure flies by when your having fun!
The beautiful thing about the 90's was that people were into a more natural look. Today's makeup is super fun, but there's nothing like a face that looks untouched, but absolutely perfect. That was really big; how do you wear makeup without looking like you're trying?
Ahhh the 90's! To me the 90's and the very early 2000's were some of the biggest advances in history. Computers advanced, internet, cell phones, flat screen TV, HD TV, DVD players, area codes added to phone numbers, and SO much more!
yaaas!!! revlon Rum Raisin was THE lip color of the 90s!!!
Your lips are so pretty!! The natural shape and color are absolutely perfect.
Those "coiled buns" are called "bantu knots" and they, along with the cornrow styles were started by Black women who wore them as part of the natural hair movement that kicked off in a major way in the 90s.
Correct, but both styles go back wayyy further than the 90's.
I love the bantu-knots & long hair combo that Aaliyah did in the movie Queen of The Damned
When I was in beauty school in 03 in Las Vegas my instructor called it Zulu knots lol
@@LangugesLearning funny you mention it because that's what I'm watching for the 100th time 🥴🥴
this is the most accurate 90s look. all youtube tutorial ive seen kinda mixed it with those tumblr baddie look. like damn i just need 90s. thank you zabreena!
Gertrud Anna Tatya Ikr. Most seem to mix it in with modern makeup styles, same goes for 90s grunge.
Smokey eyes and nude lips in my 30's. It worked then, but doesn't work now at almost 60...But I love myself and life more now and appreciate every moment - so it's a pretty fair tradeoff.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought of Rachel from Friends.. pretty accurate
Dazy Kid same here!
YOUR HAIR IS SO ACCURATE! omg I love this section!!!!!
That baby blue nail polish is one of my favorites nowadays!! I didnt know such pastel shade was popular in the 90's... I wear it so often
i was in high school in the late 90s and i remember wearing those bodysuits with loose jeans haha and of course heavy makeup back in the day :)
Ronda me too. Lol. Brings back memories.
WOW!!! Did I just take a walk down makeup memory lane. Some of the memories were fantastic and some where just down right hysterical!
I love this series! You always have the best ideas! I appreciate all the research you do for accuracy. I enjoyed the little inserts of info. I was busy raising my son in the 90's so it's mostly a blur apart from him. Awww, the joys of motherhood! :-)
seriously dying for a "2000s" look from you. you're brilliant.
Could you do a Stevie Nicks makeup tutorial/transformation? Your transformations are always AMAZING and I think it'd be cool if you did Stevie :)
Oh wow you brought back lots of memories!!! I was more the 90's grunge goth back in the day, and I loved Drew Barrymore's look from then. Thank you for this vid
You should definitely do a 2000s tutorial, that would be fun to watch (:
I graduated from High school in 92.....I miss the 80's fashion.....I miss everything from the 80's.
You should totally do the 1980's goth look !!
OMG I remember those Revlon ads and Cindy Crawford. Wow! I still love Wines and Mauves and similar shades. They look good on me. Why not? I’m a 90s kid and began wearing makeup in 1996....so yeah, I’m a little stuck there but I cool with that. I can’t say it was a great time but it sure was simpler. Wow! Total nostalgia, my entire childhood relived. Simply spectacular! Thank you, Zabrena!
I would love to see a Marie Antoinette era makeup. That would be cool
Your makeup looks amazing I miss the 80-90s it was the best days I still wear my eyebrows the 90s
OMG the butterfly cllips!! haha I wore those suckers all the time. And yeah they hurt like hell when you stepped on 'em
Did anybody else have that corded phone that was see through and it lit up when it would ring?
Oh and I used to take old cassette tapes and stick a piece of paper in the top so I could record songs from the radio onto it lol
I love all you're historically accurate videos, please don't stop making them
I was just a wee child in the 90s (born in 1989), but I remember seeing that Vamp nail polish everywhere and deciding that I just had to have it (back then I called it 'black cherry'). My mom got me a bottle of a similar colored nail polish from WalMart and I wore it all the damn time! I thought I was hot stuff! (and I was, I think, 8 or 9 years old).
I had blond hair in the 90's as well. You're not the only one! So fun to watch this one (although I love all of this series) because these are trends I remember doing!
You look like Buffy the vampire slayer!
I'm much older than you I'm guessing but I love your channel, just recently found you and I'm watching your older videos. You are so talented and easy to relate to. I can actually use a lot of your tips and I appreciate that you use a lot of affordable makeup.
oh my goodness as soon as I saw you I just thought "yup thats 90's alright" XD very accurate... good work!
Ohhh, the memories. This is spot on. And you look so pretty with the Rachel hair! I actually had butterfly hair clips, where the wings actually moved when you moved, so it looked like butterflies were dancing in your hair. Lol. I had them in green, purple, and for faaaancy days, gold! Lol. Ugh, memories.
Yes yes, the wings were on tiny little springs so they would move
The 90s saw a resurgence of trends from the 60s... Winged eyeliner came back and was as popular as smudged eyeliner.
I didn't see winged eyeliner in the 90s except on supermodels photoshoots in magazines ( Linda evangelista, Cindy crawford, Claudia shiffer etc)
The colors are beautiful . And they look great on you . Thanks for the 90s looks .
I remember when the spice girls cassette came out lol. My friends mom drove us to the mall so we could all get it. Then we decided which spice girl we would be and of course I was Scary Spice since I was the only black girl that group of girls lol. She was the best one anyways
Ashley Smith My favourite trend was the flannel shirts and ying yang and peace sign or sunflower chokers
Wow this is pretty spot on, Toast of New York was my color!
I thought you looked freaking hot in blonde. I love the fun facts you offer. Girl you know it's true! Oh Oh oh I love you ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
***** Haha! Thank you, Sissy! :)
I agree, you looked so prettyand very 90's 😉
you are to sweet how is your baby belly did you come up with a name. I think you should do makeup in the middle ages. that would be cool.
Hn
OMGG LMAO YES I REMEMBER STEPPING ON THOSE DAMN TINY BUTTERFLY CLIPS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER XDD
I love, love when you take us down memory lane. You put so much time into all of your videos! Thank you so much! Love you
This reminded me a lot of Rachel's look from Friends.
This video is amazing! Took me back to those awesome 90's moments of my life!!! Thank U!!!
i wore rum raisin alot wheni was younger
Kelly Fleming i went through do much rum raisin! memories :)
Kelly Fleming *so
I like the makeup the way blush wasn’t overused and the lips where slightly dark the photos from the red carpet looked so beautiful came to recreate one of those looks
Ha, I never stopped wearing 90s lip colors.
These kind of videos are the reason why I decided to subscribe to your channel a few months ago, they're so interesting! You add a lot of details and information and I find it super useful. Absolutely loved this video Z ❤️❤️
My most beloved 90's memory was that I was born lol!
Same here!XD
I still lives in 1996 never left. And I would say you have the look of that era.
Lololol "even though you can't see it because the camera thought something was more interesting behind me"
I love this look! I've been trying to find a simple 90s look but almost every look on RUclips is today's look with colours from the 90s. Thanks for this one :)
Hey, everyone, Boomer here!! I was in my 30's in the 90's and I think it was my prettiest decade in my life so far, in my opinion!! I wore the neutral look and a short shag cut, but I switched to a whole new look after I went through a difficult time for awhile. After that, I wore Ash Violets eyeshadow by Clinique, Pewter liner, Porcelain foundation, Sugar Cane lipstick, and did the Clinique 3-step skin care!! Yep, a confirmed Clinique-aholic!! I still love their products, but I'm financially pinched right now, so I've switched to Almay for now( it's okay make-up, but won't take the place of my Clinique!) Anyway!! I digress!! Thanks for your great tutorials, you're da bomb! You rock!!😉😍
Not just the clothing but the music was also great!Soundgarden and young Chris Cornell without a shirt...❤❤❤
Loved this vlog. Love brown lipstick. I would love if you would copy/create makeup from either Kim Novak from the movie Bell, Book and Candle (she is a wonderful witch) or Emmy Rossum from Phantom of the Opera.
I remember using one colour lipstick for most of the 90s!! Heather shimmer by Rimmel! lol
oh my God! heather shimmer & fudge brownie!! I'd totally forgotten about those
Can we have a look from Elizabethan England please?
Lipstick and nail polish were gorgeous!
1700s lacquered look, late 1700s soft look, Regency look, Victorian or Edwardian, 1910s or maybe latter part of the 1910s after the war when makeup started to take a public hold.
