The evolution of makeup from the 1990s to the 21st century reflects changes in beauty standards, trends, and technological advancements. Here's a breakdown of how makeup styles have transformed over the years.

 Brows : Thin, over-plucked, and arched.
 Eyes: Brown and neutral tones, with grunge-inspired smudged eyeliner.
 Lips: Dark lip liners (often brown) with lighter lipstick or gloss. 
 Influences: Supermodels like Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, and pop culture icons like Drew Barrymore and Gwen Stefani.


  2000s: The Y2K & Glam Boom

 Complexion: Dewy and bronzed skin, heavy use of shimmer. 
 Brows: Still thin but more defined. 
 Eyes: Frosty pastel eyeshadows, glittery lids, and colorful liners.
