The 36 Hottest Makeup Trends From The Year You Were Born Until Today
image

Believe it or not, some of these looks once existed outside of costume parties. A night out involved every color of the rainbow, gloss was a given, and eyebrows were tweezed within an inch of their lives. Check out the evolution of makeup!

1982: ALL-OVER PINK
image

In the early ’80s, there was no such thing as too much blush. Debbie Harry’s faux flushed look goes from apples to cheekbones and even up to her temples.

1983: PURPLE LIPS
image

Madonna was all kisses for the lip shade of the year: muted purple.

1984: FULL BROWS
image

Brooke Shields’s naturally bushy brows inspired women to put down the tweezers.

Photo: Getty

1985: NEUTRAL LIPS
image

Vanessa Williams’s glossy, neutral lip color was the go-to hue.

Photo: Getty

1986: COLORBLOCKING
image

“Understated” was not a word in Cyndi Lauper’s 1986 vernacular. Here, she’s seen wearing yellow eye shadow, bluish-green liner, and a bold red lip.

Photo: Getty

1987: BRICK RED LIPS
image

In the late ’80s, brick red (like Molly Ringwald’s lip shade) was the only red that mattered.

1988: BLUE EYELINER
image

Even though she was royalty, even Princess Diana played with color in ’88.

Photo: Getty

1989: BROWN LIPS
image

Bold colors gave way to neutral everything as the ’90s approached. Clearly Kim Fields was on board.

Photo: Getty

1990: CONTOURED EYES AND CHEEKS
image

Sculpted shadow and contour (yes, it existed even back then!) was Michelle Pfeiffer’s go-to.

Photo: Getty

1991: ROSY LIPS
image

Sarah Jessica Parker rocked the 1991 version of a neutral lip.

Photo: Getty

1992: PENCIL-THIN BROWS
image

For Drew Barrymore, the thinner the brows, the better … at least in 1992.

Photo: Getty

1993: EXPOSED LIP LINER
image

Janet Jackson stuck to the ’93 rule of thumb: Your lip liner should be three to four shades darker than your lip color.

Photo: Getty

1994: NO-MAKEUP MAKEUP
image

Liv Tyler’s natural makeup was the look of the year.

Photo: Getty

1995: WHITE EYE SHADOW
image

Stark white shadow swept across the entire eye (like Claire Danes’s look) was everything in the mid-’90s.

Photo: Getty

1996: FROSTY LIPS
image

A frosty lip look (see Winona Ryder) was the only accessory you needed.

Photo: Getty

1997: METALLIC SHADOW
image

This was the year to pack on a lavender shimmery shadow from lash line to brow bone, like Jennifer Lopez did here.

Photo: Getty

1998: BRONZE EYES AND LIPS
image

Golden skin, eyes, and lips (Hey, Tyra Banks!) were a ’98 summer staple.

Photo: Getty

1999: SMOKY EYES
image

Pamela Anderson’s black and gray smoky eyes finished out the ’90s.

Photo: Getty

2000: BLUE SHADOW
image

Gwen Stefani’s teal shadow welcomed back bright color!

Photo: Getty

2001: PURPLE SHIMMER
image

Christina Milian’s iridescent lilac shadow from back in the day would basically be considered unicorn makeup today.

Photo: Getty
2002: ULTRA GLOSSY
image

If you didn’t paint on lip gloss constantly in the early 2000s (insert Britney Spears for inspo), what did you do?

Photo: Getty

2003: BLACK LINER
image

Women spent most of 2003 running an inky black line over both lash lines and waterlines, like Mariah Carey.

Photo: Getty

2004: BABY PINK LIPS
image

Ultra-pale pink glossy lips, like Jessica Simpson’s, were the 2004 color of choice.

Photo: Getty

2005: COPPER LIDS
image

Rihanna circa 2005 went for a swept-on coppery-orange shadow over both lids.

Photo: Getty

2006: PEACHY
image

Pink gave way to peach this year and Lindsay Lohan was first in line to sport the trend on her lips, cheeks, and lids.

Photo: Getty

2007: FAKE TAN
image

It didn’t matter if it was a spray, cream, or lotion — if it was a self-tanner in 2007, Paris Hilton used it.

2011: COLORFUL UNDERLINER
image

Photo: Getty

image

Natural, perfected skin paired perfectly with a bright, summery lip, like Michelle Williams’s.

Photo: Getty

2013: BOLD BROWS
image

Brow queen Cara Delevingne enticed women everywhere to fill in their brows!

Photo: Getty

2014: CONTOUR

This wave of the contour trend (a soft version of which is seen on Blake Lively) came with roughly 1 million contour product launches.

Photo: Getty

2015: MATTE LIPS
image
Kylie Jenner, and all her fans, were so into matte lips that Kylie started a business making her own.
Photo: Getty
2016: NO MAKEUP
image

Alicia Keys made waves when she skipped makeup on TV and red carpets, causing women everywhere to take note of her au naturel look.

Photo: Getty

2017: GLOWY SKIN
