Bringing ‘90s makeup trends to the table in 2025 – with the help of Revlon’s Nica Marcello
The '90s were all about beauty experimentation, with the freedom to be imperfect, and even a little messy. And while it's easy to roll our eyes at some of the decade's trends -statement dark lipliner and glitter on glitter?! - the '90s also gifted us classic beauty looks that still loom large today.
Personal favourites of mine included a fresh daytime mix of sun-kissed skin, extremely light brown lipstick, a little brown eyeshadow on top and bottom lid, and a perfectly messy updo. And by night, we took our darker eyeshadow tones seriously, with a smudged cat-eye using grey-black eyeshadow covering all the way to the brow bone paired with a super matte lip in a true blue-red.
I tapped Nica Marcello, Revlon & Elizabeth Arden National Educational Manager (below) for a few tips on how to bring some of my favourite ‘90s makeup looks into 2025 – and what to leave behind.
What products would you use to re-create a classic '90s beauty look?
A Brown Lipstick: Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipstick, RRP $24.49 in shades like Rum Raisin or Spiced Cocoa are perfect for achieving that iconic ‘90s brown lip.
A Matte Foundation: A matte finish was popular in the 90s. Revlon's ColorStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin can help you achieve that flawless matte look coupled with ColorStay Pressed Powder, RRP $29.99.
Bold Eyeliner: For a nighttime glam look, use Revlon's ColorStay Eyeliner, RRP $29.00 in black to create smudged, smoky eyes.
Neutral Eyeshadow: ColorStay Day to Night™ Eyeshadow Quad in shade Addictive, RRP $30.49 is the perfect combination of neutral shades that can help you achieve the minimalist chic look with subtle, defined eyelids.
Mascara: Finish off your eye makeup with Revlon's So Fierce! Big Bad Lash Mascara, RRP $31.00 for bold, voluminous lashes.
Have you seen a comeback of any Revlon products that were popular in the ‘90s?
Definitely Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick, RRP $24.49 in Rum Raisin. This shade was a hit in the ‘90s and remains super popular today. Rum Raisin is a medium-dark, coppery red with warm undertones and a cream finish. This shade perfectly captured the 90s trend of bold, brownish-red lips, making it a staple in many makeup collections. The shade was versatile enough to complement various skin tones, making it a go-to choice for many.
