90s poster girl and Miss You Already star Drew Barrymore (40) rocked the look back in the day and again today. Here's how to get Drew’s updated 90s inspired makeup look.
Step 1 Use a primer all over the face and eye lids. You want your skin to look matte not dry, so choose a foundation that mimics the skin like YSL Youth Liberator Serum Foundation (€46.00, House of Fraser). Apply a thin layer of pressed not loose translucent powder to set your foundation. This will defuse light and leave the skin looking matte not caked. Apply concealer under the eyes and on any blemishes. Use a pressed foundation two shades darker to contour the cheek bones or if you have a matte Bronzer use that. You don't want any shimmer for this look.
Step 2. Using a muted brown palette for the eyes, try L’Oreal Paris Color Riche La Palette Nude Eyeshadow Palette Beige, (€21.99,Boots Nationwide), apply the lightest beige colour from the lid to the brow bone. Next apply a slightly darker shade all along the lid, look for a taupe brown, finally apply a darker shade such as a deep brown alone the lash line and on the outer edge. Blend with a blending brush. This look is all about blurred lines so apply a brown eyeliner alone the lash line but blend it out with an angled brush to soften the line.
Step 3. Learn from previous mistakes and ditch the pencil thin eyebrows for a fuller set just as Drew has. There are plenty of great brow kits out there to help shape and fill in any gaps. To finish this look use a brown toned lip pencil applying along the lip line, working inwards to cover most of the lip, keeping with the blurred line theme. Apply a grey brown lipstick and blot clean, we love the iconic MAC Lipstick in Stone which has a matching lip pencil, (€20.00, Brown Thomas).
Top Tip For fair skin keep to ashier eyeshadow tones, while more olive complexions can opt for warmer hues.
