If you’re living for a nostalgic makeup moment, same, babe. The 90s makeup revival is back—and it’s hotter than ever. But this time, we’re giving it a Bonjour Babe Beauty twist: think buttery brown lip liner, juicy neutral gloss, and just the right amount of throwback sass. Let’s break down how to rock the modern brown liner + gloss combo without looking like a flashback gone wrong.
💄 Why the 90s Brown Liner and Gloss Trend Is Back
The 90s makeup trend was all about defined lips, neutral tones, and that effortlessly cool vibe we still crave. From runway icons to R&B queens, the brown lip liner and lip gloss combo was iconic—and now, it’s being reimagined with hydrating textures, vegan formulas, and modern finishes that flatter every skin tone.
✏️ Step 1: Line It Up with a Brown Lip Liner
Start with a smooth, pigmented brown lip liner. This creates that signature 90s definition while also helping your gloss last longer (yes please). Opt for a shade that’s 1–2 tones deeper than your natural lip color for that snatched but wearable look.
Pro tip: Feather the edges inward to avoid the harsh ring—you want defined, not dated.
💋 Step 2: Gloss It Up with Bonjour Babe Beauty
Once you’ve lined those lips, it’s time to bring on the shine. Choose one of Bonjour Babe Beauty’s ultra-hydrating neutral lip oils to perfect the look:
-
My Treat – A soft beige nude with a glossy finish
-
Fun & Games – A warm peachy pink with major glow
-
Party Girl – A rosy pink for the ultimate 90s vibe
-
Power Play – A deeper mauve for a modern edge
Each shade is packed with hydrating ingredients, giving you that plump, juicy lip look without the stickiness. Plus, they’re vegan, cruelty-free, and totally nostalgic-chic.

1. Add a Glowy Base: Pair your gloss with dewy skin using a tinted moisturizer or hydrating foundation.
2. Go Soft on the Eyes: Try a touch of shimmer or a classic winged liner to keep the focus on your lips.
3. Skip the Overdraw (Unless You Want To): Today’s take is more about enhancing than exaggerating—though we love a full pout moment, too.
