This '90s Lip Trend Is Perfect For The Holiday Season

This ’90s Lip Trend Is Perfect For The Holiday Season
By Jennifer Ford · Updated November 4, 2020

We love a good come-back story, and this year has been full of beauty revivals. In 2019, several ‘90s beauty trends made their triumphant return, and ever since, we’ve been feeling crazy, sexy, cool.

Hair clips and glitter added extra sparkle to our shimmer, but we were most excited for the return of brown lipstick. When applied, we instantly feel like a fly girl: think Missy Elliot, Nia Long, and Janet Jackson.

And although the hue is deeper than your typical nude, contrary to popular belief, the color is the perfect go-to for any occasion. That includes all of your holiday parties this season.

To prove it, here are nine beauties we spotted rocking the trend on the red carpet this year.
