It’s so refreshing hearing someone talking about the big trends, standing back and taking a look at the overarching themes. I think the TikTok generation is constantly going on about “new trends” when in reality they are all under the same umbrella but you, with you wide knowledge of makeup history, can take a step back and look at it all for what it is. It’s a nice slow pace which I appreciate

I think that's partly due to marketimg. Brands want things to appear "fresh" and "new" so they'll rename old trends. Like Cloud Skin or the Cold Girl Look. Then social media picks up on the marketing term and we have a "new" trend, but not really lol

When the face was matte he loved Lancôme cream powder base…the Halston model Chris Royer turned hiim on to it…it was the beginning of him “baking”…she told him put it on heavy under my eyes ..let it sit and then dust it off….h was so excited that day and told me oh wait till I show you this trick!…when makeup became more natural and dewy he’s would lightly use Cody air spun…in the leopard print box.

Keep in mind that back then nobody used primer on their eyelids. I don’t think it existed. A huge part of the greasy eye look was we were just young and greasy. We didn’t really have to add any shine at of the time. Things were simpler, and so was our makeup. We didn’t obsess over it or have to show it to anyone. We lined our eyes black, threw on a burgundy lip (maybe), a flannel and went to a coffee shop to read. Try it sometime. Bring it all back. (The only thing we did obsess over was having pencil thin insane eyebrows. Bring it all back, minus that. 😂)

I did a bunch of catalog/print modeling in the mid 90’s. It seemed like every makeup person started our faces with a light layer of Vaseline. A pea size amount they would rub vigorously in their hands and then rub all into my face. I once asked why and was told that the foundation goes over it like a dream. I always had to wash it off right when the shoot was over or id have breakouts the next day.

Graduated from University in 1994. Loved the chanel "Vamp"and Revlon "Toast of New York."

I was working in a high end department store when we got the original Bobbi Brown line. We had an exclusive on it for years so I felt ever so chic wearing it. In my humble opinion, it lost something when she sold out to Lauder - now that she's totally away from it, I fear that it's turning into more of the usual, with glitter and silly names for colors instead of the basic descriptive shade names that she started with. Fortunately they still seem to be carrying the original lipsticks that caused such a craze back then.

What a throwback! Being a teenager in the 90s, this brings back so many memories… I had lots of acne, so I stuck with heavier coverage cream or powder foundations (the ones in compacts you’d apply with a sponge). I always smeared a kohl liner on the eyes just like you did (and never fell out of love with the definition and light it brought to my brown eyes). And then MAC Lipglass ;) We only had very expensive luxury classic brands like Chanel and Shiseido, or very bad drugstore products (does anyone remember Gemey?). I still remember getting my first YSL touche éclat already in the early 2000s… new products took soooo long to get here… My mom never allowed me to pluck my brows so I got away from that trend. In the later nineties I had them a bit more plucked but nothing like that very thin line. It’s still a gorgeous look :)

No one on the Internet has the ability to capture and explain the history of makeup like Lisa! I’m 68 now and I had that Kevin Aucoin book and used the Vaseline as well. I actually did sleep in the makeup and the second day was better than the first. Thank you Lisa for bringing back such wonderful memories! I can’t wait to see what you do next!!! I use and love your products as well as they are effortless!

Born in 94 so didn’t get to ‘live’ this for the first time around. But grew up admiring the ‘coolness’ of those in their teens and twenties. Never been able to let it go and embrace the heavier looks and now it’s back! Thanks for the education, Lisa. Your videos are a cut above the rest! ❤

I knew this video would be amazing from the thumbnail: Lisa wearing a flannel top with the dark nails and smudgy tightlined eyeliner 🖤 Love discussions about trend evolutions and this video was so fun and educational (no surprise there!)

I was 15 in 1994, experimented with a tiny bit of matte brown eyeshadow. 1995 ushered in Poppy King’s matte lipsticks here in Australia, named after the 7 deadly sins. I wore Avarice and Lancôme kohl in black.

It’s amazing how evocative of a period of history and life a makeup trend can be. This takes me right back to amazing times at Leeds university in the mid to late 90s, and wearing this look to lectures. I studied physics and distinctively remember that I should have been revising for a quantum mechanics exam but instead I was sat in front of a mirror plucking my eyebrows to nothing 😂😅. Love that you’re telling us all the makeup history, it’s fascinating!!! xx

I love that grunge and grunge make up started with music, bands and musicians and was an authentic movement. It was a way for people to express themselves and be a part of a sub culture and the music they loved.

I sometimes feel so honored and actually privileged to be part of that era. They were good times. Proof of that being that it made a double come back as you explained. I still haven't moved from 90's makeup on myself tbh. Thanks for giving us this profound knowledge and making us relive it.

My mom actually grew up in Kevyn Aucoin's hometown, possibly on the same road, according to a local newspaper. One of the employees at the Sephora there told me about how she got to meet Kevyn's father, Isadore. She said he was the sweetest guy and was very proud of his son, which means a lot in a very socially conservative area where boys are pressured to be macho and play sports.

Grungy, lived-in, 90s make-up to my heart’s content from the OG artist. I will never ever complain about this comeback ❤❤❤ Looking forward to the burgundy lip+glossy eye version. Xx

You will forever be that "cool chick" with the tailored 501's and the backstage lanyard dangling in front of your vintage CBGB Tee Lisa. Always.

Yup, being a teen during the early nineties, I remembered that look. Even the movies had a 90s look, one in particular was the “Ref”. Judy Davis’s makeup was so 90’s. It was a grunge look, with an all matte look and browns. I did the no makeup, makeup as a teen. But I found it quite interesting during that time.

Eye pencils were so scratchy back then... that's when we got creative and busted out our lighters to melt them! Didn't smoke but had a bunch of lighters for my liners. And Chanel Vamp nail polish....I was a broke B in the mid- late 90s but bought that at the mall... like who was I?

Love it! I'm 45 and still love this look so much, actually much more than the trend we saw the last 10 years with lots of make up, contouring, highlighters and stuff like that! When you started your make up I thought : Embryolisse and Mac foundation! that foundation was a big deal. I still have 2 products from Stephane Marais - a lipstick and a cream blush (that I don't use, but don't want to throw them!). I remember he was the 1st make up artist who was having a line, it was a big thing!! Also, I remember reading something about Carine Roitfeld, saying that she would do her black eyes and then have a bath, and so the make up would look smudgy because of the steam!

1994: I was a 9 years-old French little girl. I always loved the 90's grunge make-up and the earthy tone of that era. Somehow, I stuck with the brown tones in my everyday make-up with a 2023 twist to it. Fantastic video and make-up history lesson. Very enlightening regarding the trends as well. It's quite similar to literature movements, for each era, there is always a counter-movement that follows. It reflects itself in Arts in general, whether it's music, cinema, make-up, etc. It's fascinating. Thank you for this incredible video, Lisa.

I am grinning while watching this video because I’ve just unearthed my FaceForward book by Kevyn Aucoin and was thinking of doing his In Balance look. I think the reason 90’s look will always comeback is because it is such an effortless look but has a lot of impact and can be interpreted in so many ways. It is so classic yet so modern. And I think you interpreted it so well.

I typically love how light handed you are, and what transformations you can make with your talent and such a light hand. But to me, this is much more wearable than what I would consider to be editorial. Maybe I just don’t understand the term well enough. But I could totally see rocking this look to the grocery store.

Very Natalie Imbruglia reminds me of the Torn Video from back then 1996. Loved the rock chic look. Takes me back to my teenage years when I was 16 in 1996. Remember the burgundy lips. Everyone seemed to wear Rimmel on the street x

We used Maybelline Black pencil liner in Red pencil- to make them more gloppy, we lit a match and burned the tip before application. This warm but not hot! Black goop made the whole look. Mushed up it was eyeshadow and also liner and waterline. That did stay on for days. 🎉 Also mixed some black with red lipstick and used as a stain!

Yessss the scratchy eyeliners of my youth 😭 I miss that

Thanks Lisa for always doing a great job providing the context and history around a certain look. I know that grunge in particular was a rejection of the digital music inventions and trends of the 80s that created an ultra-polished product. As you've said, this new go-around of pared back and more natural aesthetic could be brought on by some of the same reasons - a rejection of the technological deluge we're currently in. It's so important to know where we've been to understand where we're going. Gonna go smudge on some eyeliner!

I'm so fascinated by this. I've recently felt inspired by a combination of Grunge and Bubblegum Pop. I haven't quite nailed down how this would come together, but the simplicity and starkness of the Grunge, with the innocent prettiness of the Bubblegum Pop to make, I dunno, Bubblegum Grunge/Punk is very much what I want to do. It's quite an eclectic combination, but it's something I want to do.

I remember Stéphane Marais ’s makeup on the supermodels being so grungy, dirty, beautiful on Peter Lindbergh’s pictures, i loved it so much ! Thanks for your vidéo, it’s great when you show the old makeup and explain thé vibe,,, 🙏

Loved this, Lisa, as a teenage 90s kid! I was around 15 and this was one of the best times in music, fashion, makeup, and the fashion magazines were the best at this time, if you ask me! I miss the scents, too (I will always love Sun, Moon, Stars by Lagerfeld and Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden -- anyone else remember that?). I remember the amazing editorials in magazines like Allure, Vogue, Bazaar, and even magazines like Mademoiselle and Seventeen -- I had cut outs and pages scotch-taped onto my wall. Cindy Crawford and Todd Oldham were rockin' it on House of Style (MTV) which I never missed an episode of. Kevin Aucoin was a genius; it was sad when he passed away. I really miss those days. I guess this is the closest we can get to summoning them back. The one thing I don't miss from this year: the plastic child Goody barrettes. They were cool on riot grrls at the time, but there were also a lot of sequins, new fabrics and textures, and iconic lipstick and nail colors that never went out of style. PS -- if they ever discontinue Touche Eclat, I think I'd cry.

I loved Kevin's Nude makeup line in the 90's. Now that I'm 60 with good skin I still love a smudged liner matte contour in and above the crease and a medium shimmer on my lid with loads of lashes. My focus is skin and complexion and Kitten Mischief lipstick is one of my faves!! Thanks Lisa

You've been gone too long...we love and need your lovely outlook and talent!

I'm a '90s chic also, Lisa, and I swear to this day that mascara always looks better the next day. I'm very oily - even now at 47 - and I always adored the way the residue/patina from Friday and Saturday nights' mascara looked by Sunday" Definitely hard to achieve, except by rubbing the eyes. I remember all the dirty, dark reds and terracotta browns, and not using liner with lipstick. By the late '90s I think my friends and I had pared down our looks to highlighted eyes with mascara and just gloss on the lips. Then there was 'heroine chic'!...

This is definitely a very editorial look. Real young women who were in their late teens and 20’s during this era (such as myself) didn’t wear makeup like this. We wore a very monotone look. Brown eye liner, brown blush, brown lipstick. Heavy powder. Then there were the girls with the dark lip liner and light foiled lipstick with basically a matching eye. But monotone was the look of the day.

I started wearing makeup in the 90s. I was spot-prone and had lots of redness and I hated what I was seeing on my friends to do with foundation, think that maginot jaw line between too dark foundation and bare neck. So, I lived for that dark eyeliner and dark brown lip look, no base products, because I felt it drew attention away from my skin and put the spotlight elsewhere. From now til then, I’ve always felt much more confident in a dark lip than a nude lip, trends be darned. Suffice it say, Ms. Eldridge’s Decade, in all formulas, is my soulmate lip color! 😍

It's funny seeing this video. I just did a 90s Makeup Tutorial video. I have always loved the authentic 90s rock look and I'm so happy it's making a comeback.

Awesome! Being a teen in the 90's was an experience. In the first half of the 90's I remember everything being matte, eyeshadow wise, and berry toned. Then towards the end of the decade, lots of glitter and colour came in vogue. Love your channel!

Ah 1992, I had just discovered fashion magazines, .I had no clue about makeup, I just loved the looks! From Aucoin to the grungy mid 90s artists like Dick Page or Val Garland made a huge impact on me. I still love undone makeup for "real life". thanks for this lovely nostalgia!

I’d just add that as a person who very into heavy music its very interesting to see that along with such make up I see the trand for graphic, ‘metal band merch’-like apparel being back. Plus with Japanese manga graphic. In a similar way how this 90s grunge did seem to have an influence from 80s goth subculture, hair metal and synthwave. Make-up and fashion do really go and in hand here. Thank you for the video! Definitely offers some new perspectives.

94 was a brilliant year…it was when I went off to university! It was around the time the film ‘Clueless’ came out (could have been 95), which, to me, defined a little bit of the moment, along with the music. I was totally a grunge queen…vest tops, long billowy skirts (and conversely mini a lines), checks, over sized shirts open, little pinafores, stomper boots, doc martens, platform sandals, browny mauve lipstick, smudgy copper and black eyes, Rachel hair…..the photos are interesting!!

This makes my Gen X makeup artist heart sing. It reminds me of being in my mid 20’s and buying everything from Bobbi Brown when she had only 6 neutral eye shadows. Also I love to leave a bit of the darkness under my eyes to this day. It leaves a bit of mystery…was I up to no good last night? You’ll never know!

I have always loved a tame grunge makeup. Not to runny… I’m 56 and sheer, glossy, Smokey amber browns are still my ❤. Back then I was in the industry. Doing makeup still makes me happy❤. Revlon Rum Raisin comes to mind. I still wear it to this day. 😍❤️‍🔥💄 Kevin Aucoin was my Idol. I ran out and bought his book and read it like the Bible. Studied it. Breathed it. Applied what I learned from it. He was perfection in his craft. He is missed.❤❤❤

Yes!!! Rum Raisin has been one of my favorites since it came out!

Thank you so much for this video. I like hearing the history, however, I thought Way Bandy, with Designing Your Face in 1977, (that I was lucky enough to find in my local library when I was just starting to use makeup in high school) was recommending using natural, brownish colors for makeup way back then. He also showed how to do natural-looking face sculpting. By the way, since Kevin Aucoin was from Louisiana, his name was most likely originally pronounced as in French with a nearly silent, nasal "in" at the end: Oh-kwae (the ending sounds like the a in "at" or "cat").

The way you talk about makeup eras and how you explain the evolution of a look or makeup during a period of time is truly like watching a masterclass in art history, growing up in the 90s in the middle east in Cairo grunge was huge, we listened to nirvana and wore big chunky laceup boots and wore dark eye shadow and lipstick, no blush and ofcourse over plucked our brows, what at time to have been young, thank you for taking us down memory lane for those of us who lived during that time 🖤🖤🖤

Absolutely love the vibe of the 90’s. Really miss those days!

This video brought back so many memories! I was definitely a grunge girl in early to mid 90s. MAC was my go to brand. I made the mistake of tweezing my eyebrows thin! Thank God they grew back. RIP Kevin Aucoin. His books are genius! ❤❤❤

My go tos in the 90s were benefit benetint, duwop lip venom, a black liner from Sally beauty, those rice papers from Sally beauty, and clinique black honey. I had a lot of products but those are the ones I was obsessed with. And of course my signature fragrance back then which I still enjoy from time to time was CK one.

This was my makeup every day from the ages of around 16 to my early 20s. My daily makeup now is actually still a kind of modern variant on that look!

Fascinating. I love how you can blend history and makeup trends into a compelling video. The history of Kevyn Aucoin's influence was so interesting. I do have two of his books because his aesthetic has always called to me. And I was so surprised by the use of vaseline and Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream to get shine. Today there are so many specialized highlighters that it's hard to remember simple products for simple solutions. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and this fun retro look.

It's so fun to dive back into the techniques of that time. It's funny to me that as regular people we were wearing the most matte faces, but makeup artists were doing such a natural look!

Agreed! That's the most editorial thing about the look Lisa does here---the shine. We were all about a matte look, including matte lips and powder blush....if we even wore blush.

This product list is EVERYTHING!

Given the nature of this content, ironically, this video is so “refreshing”! I love it when Lisa talks history and then merge to the present time, showing original products and what would be the equivalent for today. Thank you for the wonderful video!!

Grateful for the 90s. I loved hearing your overview of what 1994 was like. I had graduated by then but when I was in high school you could see the difference in makeup being worn. There were the cheerleaders with their red lipstick and bright pink cheeks and then there were the rest of the people wearing mostly heavy smeared eyeliner, very light blush and lipgloss but mostly foundation lips. ❤

Amazing how you made grunge look so fresh and not dated!

I know I'm late but i have to say how absolutely interesting and fantastic this is. I always love your content and have been following you ever since you started on KZread but this was just so cool particularly the info on what was used in that time and similar contemporary product. Thank you thank you thank you.

I love how this is not only a tutorial, it's also a history lesson of how makeup was like back then. Thank you for sharing your personal stories and experiences, Lisa -- they really make the products come alive!

This took me back! I graduated from high school in 1994 and this was exactly how I did my makeup. However, I did pluck my eyebrows into oblivion! I adored Revlon's lipsticks in Blackberry and Rum Raisin and loved the look of a nearly bare face with that deep purple-y red lip. I'd love to see you recreate that version of 90s makeup too.

@@elisaastorino2881 It was so good!

I can see your eyes sparkled when you explained about the scene of this look 😍 Thank you for sharing this with all of us 🙏 I love it! Xx

thanks for the video, Lisa! ♥ Still in the middle of it, but could watch you talking about make up history for hours and hours!

This is true mastery. The fact that you can do these perfectly polished and immaculate beautifying makeups as well as this purposefully messy and effortless look, is just pure mastery. You are such a gem for sharing your knowledge and skill with us, Lisa. Endless admiration from me xxx

I can FEEL that eye pencil and watching your eyes water slightly because of it -that’s exactly how we got the best smudge 😂 Such a lovely video as always and I love geeking out with the history of it all! ❤

1982 born here, I remember my first makeup when I was around 14 was a grey smudgy cream eyeshadow and matching pencil. Didn't really do the black kohl waterline though, but the dark brown lip? My thing! And btw I could listen to Lisa history lessons all day.

Lisa, I have long been curious about the beauty scene in Paris in the 90s. Were you doing gigs there at the time? Could you maybe do a video on this? Love these makeup history flashbacks ❤️

I was a 90s teen and didn't pluck my eyebrows. Only because I didn't like pain. So this is pretty bang on for what my makeup looked like!

I still have that book. It was my first makeup book from when I was 14. Still in great condition and as inspirational as ever.
