Wren recommends utilizing this powdery multi-stick as a lightweight, allover colour wash in your lids. Lilac Taupe is the proper ’90s cool-girl shade. (You may as well swipe it in your hair if you wish to amp up the frosted look extra.)
Colour is a dedication, so in order for you one thing extra impartial however equally dazzling, Stila’s Glitter and Glow Eye Shadow in Perlina is a frosted white that skews to juuust a touch of blue and pink.

Place the lipstick on the heart of your lips and blur it outward.
For a real ’90s brown lip, do that creamy lipstick in Cocoa for lighter pores and skin tones and Darkish Chocolate for deeper tones.
