90s Supermodel Nude Brown Makeup

Pre-makeup Base

Apply sunscreen evenly before going out, wait until it sets, then apply matte primer on the T-zone and areas prone to oiliness to smooth skin and extend the wear time of base makeup.

Pro tipDry skin types can only use matte primer on the T-zone, keep the natural moisturizing feel on the cheeks.

Matte Base Makeup

Take warm-tone matte foundation, blend it outward from the center of the face with a damp beauty sponge, apply a thin layer all over the face, retain the natural texture of the skin, and avoid a heavy mask-like finish.

Pro tipChoose a foundation half a shade deeper than your skin tone to better match the healthy nude vibe of the 90s.

Conceal and Set Base

Use a concealer brush to take warm-tone concealer, dab it on dark circles, redness around the nose wings, and acne marks, gently blend the edges with your fingertips, then sweep a thin layer of translucent loose powder on the center of the face to reduce shine.

Pro tipDo not apply concealer too thickly, retaining slight skin texture looks more natural.

Sharp Brow Shape

Use dark brown-gray eyebrow pencil to fill in gaps along the hair growth direction, position the brow peak slightly higher than your natural brow peak, extend the tail of the brow to a sharp angle, the overall lines are clean and neat, do not deliberately create a wild hair texture.

Pro tipChoose a brow shade one level lighter than your hair color to avoid overly heavy brows overpowering the eye makeup.

Eyeshadow Base

Take low-saturation warm gray-brown matte eyeshadow, sweep it all over the upper and lower eyelids with a large blending brush, tap off excess product, then deepen the color in the eye socket area, blend until the edges are natural with no harsh lines.

Pro tipAvoid shimmery eyeshadows for puffy eyelids, full matte finishes are best for reducing swelling.

Eyeliner and Lashes

Use dark brown eyeliner pencil to fill in the inner lash line along the upper lash roots, extend the outer corner flatly by 3mm, no exaggerated upward flick; curl lashes and apply two coats of brown mascara, lightly brush the lower lashes once.

Pro tipDo not draw the eyeliner too thick, thin lines look more retro and natural.

Nose Contour

Take gray-tone nose contour powder, tap off excess product with a small brush, then lightly sweep along the outer edges of the nose bridge, do not touch the brow heads and eye sockets, do not connect the shadows on both sides at the nasal bridge, the color is light with no obvious edges, only leaving natural dimensionality.

Face Contour

Take gray-bronze contour powder, use a fluffy angled brush to sweep it under the cheekbones, along the jawline and hairline, blend until the edges are completely blurred, creating sharp and clear bone contour.

Pro tipIt is better to apply contour lightly than heavily, building up layers is easier to adjust than applying too much at once.

Highlight

Take fine champagne gold matte highlighter, lightly sweep it on the highest point of the cheekbones, brow bones, middle of the nose bridge and cupid's bow, the highlight area is small and precise, no large-area dewy highlight.

Pro tipAvoid highlighters with strong shimmer, matte texture better matches the retro vibe of the 90s.

Vibrant Blush

Take warm terracotta matte blush, lightly sweep it slightly above the apple of the cheek, blend diagonally toward the temples, naturally connect with the contour, apply a thin layer to bring out a healthy glow.

Pro tipDo not choose too pink blush, warm terracotta with brown undertones better matches the overall nude brown tone.

Misty Nude Lips

First use nude brown lip liner to outline the full lip shape, then fill in the entire lip, layer a same-tone matte nude brown lip mud, blend the lip line edges with your fingertips to create a misty and plump nude brown lip effect.

Pro tipDo not draw a sharp cupid's bow with the lip liner, a rounded lip shape has a more retro and relaxed vibe.

Setting Finish

Hold moisturizing setting spray 20cm away from the face, spray evenly all over the face in X and T motions, wait for it to set naturally, reduce the powdery feel, and let the overall makeup blend into a natural matte finish.

Pro tipDo not touch your face before the setting spray dries, to avoid ruining the base makeup.
