The wave of reviving ‘90s beauty trends is showing no signs of slowing down and Kim Kardashian for one, is here for a throwback glam moment. The beauty look her makeup artist, Mary Phillips, created for an appearance Kim made at the This Is About Humanity annual fundraiser in LA on Saturday night had an undeniable ’90s twist.
We know the family are big on lip liners (sister Kylie in particular has made defined lips her signature), but Kim chose a dark ‘90s negative space lip liner for the event. Revisiting the light nude, fleshy shades that she was known for in the '00s – like MAC’s Creme D'nude – the social media mogul applied a pale shade across the centre of her lips, remixed in a matte finish. To create contrast, Mary rimmed her lips with a spiced, brown-toned lip liner for a grungey look that served up '90s nostalgia.

As for where Kim found the inspo, we reckon she was giving her own spin to the lip combo that the supers like Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford made famous on the runway.

It isn't the first time, Kim has looked to the '90s for beauty inspiration. She's channelled Pammy's famous updo on repeat over the past year, and even recreated her high-neck latex body dress and hairstyle combo in an homage to the model during an appearance on Ellen back in March.

Heading into autumn though, we're very much here for more vampier lip combos, like the one Kim Kardashian debuted this week, which see lip lines given extra definition and deep nudes, berries and spiced shades take centre stage.

Just ask Megan Thee Stallion who has helped put the ‘90s lip back on the map, wearing the look to the Grammys, the Met Gala and just about every high profile event she’s attended this year.
