Embracing the ’90s vibe and incorporating light grunge makeup into your look can be a fun and nostalgic style choice. Here’s how to achieve this trend and enhance it with retro embroidered kaftans:

1. Light Grunge Makeup:

  • Foundation: Start with a matte foundation that matches your skin tone to create a flawless base.
  • Eyebrows: Thin, arched eyebrows were popular in the ’90s. You can either work with your natural brows or use a brow pencil to create a thinner shape.
  • Eye Makeup: Use cool-toned eyeshadows like muted grays, taupes, and cool browns. Apply a light matte shade all over the lid, a slightly darker shade in the crease, and a touch of shimmer on the center of the lid for dimension.
  • Eyeliner: Go for a soft, smudged eyeliner look. Apply a dark brown or black eyeliner along your upper lash line and smudge it out for that grunge effect.
  • Mascara: Apply mascara to both your upper and lower lashes for a wide-eyed look.
  • Lips: Opt for cool-toned lip colors like mauve, berry, or deep brown. Matte finishes were popular in the ’90s, so choose a matte lipstick or apply a lip liner all over your lips for a matte effect.
  • Blush: Use a subtle cool-toned blush to add a touch of color to your cheeks.

2. Retro Embroidered Kaftans:

  • Look for kaftans with intricate embroidery, reminiscent of the ’90s bohemian style. These can feature floral patterns, geometric designs, or even tribal motifs.
  • Choose kaftans in earthy tones or cool colors that complement your makeup look. Earthy tones like olive, rust, or mustard can work well with grunge makeup.
  • Accessorize with vintage-inspired jewelry such as layered necklaces, chunky rings, and hoop earrings to complete the look.
  • You can wear your kaftan over jeans, shorts, or as a standalone dress, depending on your personal style and the occasion.

3. Hair and Accessories:

  • Consider styling your hair in loose, tousled waves or opting for a messy bun with a few strands framing your face.
  • Accessorize with ‘90s-inspired accessories like chokers, bandanas, or scrunchies.
  • Don’t forget to add a bit of attitude to your overall look to capture that ’90s grunge spirit.

Remember that fashion and makeup trends can be highly personal, so feel free to adapt these suggestions to your own style and preferences. The key is to have fun experimenting and channeling the ’90s vibe in a way that makes you feel confident and stylish.
