Dakota Fanning

Dark smudged liner is a slippery slope. Go too far one way and you could slide into angsty teen territory. Don't pile on enough and you completely negate its purpose. Dakota Fanning hits the '90s rocker trend head on with her fully-lined top and bottom lash lines. For a truly '90s vibe, don't be afraid to sleep in it for that lived-in look you're after.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato knows her way around a makeup brush, there's no doubt about that, but one place she never ever misses is in lip department. This subdued crimson color screams '90s. It's far from barely-there but it's subtle enough to work for any and all occasions. Say hello to your new go-to stain.

Emma Roberts

There's something about purposely clumpy mascara that is unexpectedly chic. When you're looking to rough up your otherwise perfectly-in-place makeup, this one trick will completely change up your look. For a '90s-beauty edge that isn't trying too hard, say yes to clumps like grunge girl Emma Roberts.

Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne lives and breathes the grunge life, even on the red carpet where she opts for a more groomed version. For thick-but-tidy '90s supermodel-inspired brows in keeping with the model's, a pliable wax gets the job done. And bonus, it's one of the least messy options for filling in arches.
