The 90's in 2014

Are the 90's back? I think for some, the younger trendy crew, yes it most definitely is. If only I could have saved my cream color chunky shoes I wore with everything back when I was in the 7th grade I would be so in. I had a brown and black pair I am pretty sure I got in the 8th grade and wore with my uniform. Every major fashion brand has taken the hint from our younger generation of trend setters and has put out there version of 90's grunge!
Let's talk hair and makeup, this is where I shine, who can remember someone or maybe you, who had shaved the back of their hair? (If you can't see it, which how could you lol, ME I do.) I remember being at cheer leading practice thinking the 8th graders who had shaved the back of their heads were so cool. As much as I wanted to follow suit and shave the back of my head, I appreciated the fun style on them. My parents would have not appreciated the trend as much as I would have, and to prove a point I may have ended up looking like Sineade O'Connor. (Another 90's trend setter in her own right) No Thanks! Seeing as we attended catholic school this was the perfect inconspicuous look that no one, not even the teachers, could see unless you wore your hair up! Now the newer generation has taken it a step further and added some color which I happen to think is so fun. Add on top of that the dark makeup with the vampire blackish red tint lip and the washed out face tone and you are a spitting image of Drew Barrymore circa the early 90's. Am I right?!

Although this trend may be more fun for those 25 and younger, I have yet to brave the look myself. Not that I wouldn't maybe tweak it and make it my own, but it is a bit dramatic for me and might look to death becomes her for my liking. Drew had this look down with little effort, take notes newer generation.

Here is a link to a fantastic tutorial I found for the grungy look that has taken the walk back into the 21st century. I follow lots of fantastic make up artists on you tube and Michelle Phan has the best so far. Other than the thin eyebrow, which should NEVER come back, I love how she keeps the look as authentic as possible.

Until I am brave enough to start my own you tube channel, enjoy hers! I do.

Happy hump day!
