The ‘90s weren’t just reserved for streaks of blue packed into the waterline like Lady D—or high-shine gloss embellishing puckered-up pouts. There was more. There were swirls of frosty hues drenching the lids in variations of silver, lavender, lilac, icy blue, and pink. And the trend, after a 20-year hiatus, is back—cue snaps of recent adoptees like Olivia Rodrigo and Hailey Bieber fashioning their aesthetic will cool-toned, sparkle-laden shades spanning the eyes. Pioneered by stars like Britney and Christina Aguilera, this one’s versatile in the way that it compliments varying looks. Let’s see how our favourite trendsetters have worked these psychedelic lids into their makeup.
How To Nail Frosted Lids Like Your Fav Celebs
On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink—On The Peepers
This photo attests to Hailey’s love for glitter ‘n’ gloss and the model is dab-hand at nailing the aesthetic every time. She marries undertones of glitter-dripping pink on the eyes with a dewy base, rose-flushed cheeks, and gloss-laden lips. And her brushed-out brows do this look more justice.
Olivia, You Look Happy And Healthy
This goes down as the night Olivia returned home armed with three awards and frost-packed peppers. She stunned in lavender-stained lids dramatized by sharper-than-ever flicks—along with dabs of highlighter that lend a glow to her face. When you’re recreating this look, concentrate the frost on the inner corners of the eyes as well. And brush your brows upwards instead of sideways. Yup—we’re bent on the details.
Excuse me, Cassie? Sorry? Cassie?
It’s only fair that we credit Euphoria for resurrecting this trend—Sydney Sweeney the most. The actress marries a lilac-hued eyeshadow with a conventional winged-out look. A flush of rose on the cheeks, along with a little bit of sheen, soften the aesthetic effortlessly.
Doja, Take Us Back To The Nineties, Please
Doja’s ice-princess aesthetic from the Grammys was something right out of the 90s—with face-framing tendrils, micro-bangs, and spiked Bantu knots headlining the look, the Kiss Me More singer further embodied the era with pastel-coloured lids and brow-bones. All you have to do is conclude with 90s supermodel lips.
The One Where Camila Slays It—But Casually
A dab of silver on the lids, and you’re slaying a Y2K trend like Camila. Run a little bit of kohl along the waterline, coat your lashes with mascara, and tie it all together with a tint of pink on the lips.
Dove’s A Better Boyfriend Than Him
She can be a better boyfriend than him, and it’s not up for debate. Dove spotlights her eyes with a metallic shade of blue. The colour, apart from coating her lids, is dusted along her lower lash-line for effect. Paired with a sharp cat-eye on either side, this one’s almost grunge. Conclude with a flush of rose on the cheeks and lips.
