WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Supernova Baked
Eyeshadow Palette
$10.50 on sale at BH Cosmetics
Don’t forget to apply your frosted eye shadow ALL the way up to your pencil-thin eyebrows, and only use 1 color for that 90s look.

R+Co Outer Space
Flexible Hairspray
$32 at Birchbox
Industrial-strength Aquanet was the hairspray of choice in the 90s, but this conditioning spray is FAR kinder to hair.

Kiss Everlasting
French Nails
$5.79 at Target
It’s not a 1999 look without a French manicure – and these press-on nails are way easier than trying to DIY the perfect white line.

Frame Smocked
Cheetah Blouse
$195 on sale at Revolve
We’re digging the Princess Diana post-divorce-out-on-the-town vibes this puffy-sleeved blouse is giving off.

The 90’s
Mom Jean
$148 at Reformation
Pair these jeans with the Steve Madden platforms, or your fave Converse + a cropped ringer tee.

GHD Contour
Professional Crimper
$169 at Sephora
Get the 90s teased look without ratting your hair into oblivion. Bonus: Use this everyday under the top layer of your hair for volume!

Rose Gold Mini
Square Claw Clips
$14 at Kitsch
Start grabbing random sections of hair, twisting them into coils, and securing them with these butterfly clips. Boom, 90s hair.

Melted Matte-Tallic
Lipstick in Sugar Kisses
$21 at Too Faced
Frosted lipstick? Oh, it was EVERYWHERE in ’99. Thankfully, Too Faced has updated it for 2019 with this long-wear formula.

Steve Madden Playdate
Heeled Sandals
$99.95 at Zappos
90s wardrobes require at least one pair of sky-high platform slides – the more impractical, the better.
