90ies Smokey Eyes: With this beauty trend we look nostalgically into the past

In the cold season - when it gets really cozy inside - you like to look back. Perhaps you have already reflected on the past few months. Or you can keep your spirits up with the stories of summer, even in unpleasant temperatures. According to Runway, you can look even further into the past - to the 1990s.

Even if it always sounds a bit negative, it can be positive to shift your focus backwards for a short moment. Of course not on failures or challenges, but on things that worked some time ago. Because just like the 90s smokey eyes, which we are now adapting again for winter 2024, some looks are far too good to leave in the past. That's why we're getting very nostalgic with this beauty trend and looking back to the 90sback. Maybe not everything was better in the past, but the nineties definitely had good style!

The 90s Smokey Eyes were originally inspired by none other than Victoria Beckham - of course better known back then as Posh Spice. However, the designer still wears the spicy look with the wicked dark eyes to this day. And thus provides a direct indication of the timelessness behind this beauty trend. But smokey eyes with a nineties focus could also be discovered at current runway shows, for example at Atlein or Elie Saab.

In addition to the lighter shades - for 90s smokey eyes you use eyeshadow in shades of cappuccino to brown - the style of the nostalgic look is also due to the soft blending. While the color can be dark in the middle of the lids and along the lash line, it becomes increasingly softer towards the outside. By the way, both above and below the eye. This not only makes the beauty trend wicked, in the style of the wild nineties, but it almost looks as if you had fallen asleep on the couch before going out. According to the season...

Smokey eyes are known for their dark look, especially on elegant occasions that usually take place in the evening. The strikingly made-up eyes often seemed too much for everyday life, at least until now. Due to the much softer aesthetic of the 1990s, the beauty trend is suddenly also suitable for everyday life - for exampleand knitted sweaters.

When made up, the look becomes a clean make-up: The foundation should give a nice glow and let the winter complexion shine, brushed brows and a nourishing lip balm also ensure a finished look for the undone eyes. You can also pick up the nuances of the eye shadow with the bronzer and thus highlight your contours. But now to the essentials: For the 90s smokey eyes, work with a soft brush, start in the middle of the lid and blend the color generously outwards. For even darker eyes, you can also use a dark brown (not black!) eyeliner and wash your eyelashes.

Alternatively, with this look it really doesn't matter if you take a quick nap before your planned evening event - this way the beauty trend looks even more authentic and you might even dream a little of the good old days in the nineties...
