Granted, today, the &#8220;Miss You Already&#8221; actor gravitates more toward a bright-red color, unlike the moody and dark shades that were popular in the grungy decade. And even though Barrymore prefers a natural look, the actor revealed that she often does find confidence in makeup. &#8220;&#8230; when I do a little concealer, a little blush and lip gloss, I get mad at myself that I don&#8217;t do it more often because it does look nice.

And one star who pioneered the smokey-eyeliner look was actor\u00a0Winona Ryder. In the &#8217;90s, the &#8220;Edward Scissorhands&#8221; star&#8217;s makeup was either simple and minimal (aka a no-makeup makeup look) or dramatic with smoked-out eyeliner and a natural, pink lip. Two decades later, and Ryder&#8217;s approach to makeup hasn&#8217;t changed much, as smoked-out eye pencil is still her signature look.<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-placeholder between-p\" data-ad-height=\"any\" data-ad-width=\"any\" data-ad-pos=\"between-p\"><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;You would think that by now, with what I do, I would know how to apply makeup,&#8221; she told Allure in 2015. &#8220;But I&#8217;m actually quite terrible at it and very, very lucky that I don&#8217;t need to wear a lot in my everyday life.

This guy came and did my makeup for the artwork and I remember thinking I looked ugly. I was like, &#8216;I look prettier when I do my makeup,&#8217; but I was too scared to say something.&#8221;\u00a0And while many have rocked bold lips in the entertainment industry, we have to admit that the crown of the most perfect red lip definitely belongs to Stefani, who pulls the look off like no one else.<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-placeholder between-p\" data-ad-height=\"any\" data-ad-width=\"any\" data-ad-pos=\"between-p\"><\/div>\n<p>Even though the singer sticks to makeup styles she loves the most, the star has revealed that makeup is about more than just looking better. &#8220;I found magic in the makeup. It&#8217;s not even about how people look; it&#8217;s how they feel,&#8221; she revealed. &#8220;Once that makeup goes on, the confidence that comes with it is what stayed with me.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"news-article\">\n<h2 class=\"\">Gwyneth Paltrow has perfected the art of a messy &#8217;90s smokey eye<\/h2>\n<div class=\"slide-key image-holder gallery-image-holder credit-image-wrap \" data-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.glam.com\/1895120\/celeb-makeup-never-left-90s\/\" data-post-title=\"Celebs Whose Makeup Never Left The '90s\" data-slide-num=\"12\" data-post-id=\"1895120\">\n                                             <picture id=\"pbbcf4a1caaa9339383ba2a68fb2e87a3\"><source media=\"(min-width: 429px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glam.com\/img\/gallery\/celebs-whose-makeup-never-left-the-90s\/gwyneth-paltrow-has-perfected-the-art-of-a-messy-90s-smokey-eye-1750835143.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><source media=\"(max-width: 428px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glam.com\/img\/gallery\/celebs-whose-makeup-never-left-the-90s\/gwyneth-paltrow-has-perfected-the-art-of-a-messy-90s-smokey-eye-1750835143.sm.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glam.com\/1895120\/celeb-makeup-never-left-90s\/\" data-post-id=\"1895120\" data-slide-num=\"12\" data-slide-title=\"Celebs Whose Makeup Never Left The &#039;90s: Gwyneth Paltrow has perfected the art of a messy &#039;90s smokey eye\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"Gwyneth Paltrow in 1998 and 2024 wearing icy eyeshadow.\" title=\"\"><br \/>\n                    <\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"columns-holder \">\n<p>Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow often rocks a makeup look that is the epitome of &#8217;90s style. &#8220;The biggest hallmarks of &#8217;90s makeup were all about contrast and minimalism with attitude,&#8221; Amber Renee shares with us exclusively. &#8220;Thin, over-plucked eyebrows reigned supreme, often paired with matte, velvety skin that leaned more powdered than dewy.&#8221; And if there&#8217;s one thing that Paltrow&#8217;s makeup artists do perfectly, it&#8217;s creating matte yet natural-looking skin.<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-placeholder between-p\" data-ad-height=\"any\" data-ad-width=\"any\" data-ad-pos=\"between-p\"><\/div>\n<p>The star usually rocks a flawless base that enhances her freckles and sun-kissed skin, a subtle gray\/lavender eyeshadow look, and nude lips. But when she&#8217;s not attending industry events, the actor is all about letting her skin breathe. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never been a makeup person really. I always love not wearing makeup,&#8221; Paltrow told People in 2020. &#8220;For me, makeup has always meant that I&#8217;m going to work,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;All through junior high and high school, makeup never became part of my routine.

I like the feeling of having clean skin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, for some more dramatic A-lister style changes, check out these celebs who are nearly unrecognizable with their natural hair color.<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-placeholder between-p\" data-ad-height=\"any\" data-ad-width=\"any\" data-ad-pos=\"between-p\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pamela Anderson may have ditched makeup, but when she wears it, it&#8217;s very &#8217;90s The ultimate &#8217;90s icon, Pamela Anderson has been in the spotlight for over three decades, and in recent years, the actor has had her resurgence thanks to embracing a makeup-free look.
