HOW TO DO 90S-STYLE BROWN LIPSTICK

By Anna Heaton, 27 July 2017

You might remember the brown lippie look in a headspin of Never Been Kissed-era Drew Barrymore or Friends BFFs Rachel and Monica. Well, thanks to Acne Studios SS17, your fave 90s beauty look is back with a bang. So here's how it's being used on the runways and championed by our very own ASOS Insider Lesley.

Models hit the Acne Studios 2017 catwalk with a beauty look that was all multi-tonal brown: thick and dark brushed-up brows, subtly warm eyeshadow and a plummy shade of matte lipstick. The result? A cool throwback look that is both sultry and grown-up.

A big-time advocate of matte lippie, ASOS Lesley reps the trend with a slick of NYX Professional Makeup's latest lipstick drop, L ip Lingerie (in shade Cabaret Show). She balances out the darkness with shimmer highlighter across the cheekbones and lids, adding depth with subtle contouring.
