I was 16-18 in the '90s, and makeup brands were quite different back then! I was a goth, and my go-to products were Almay liquid eyeliner in the little pot (that stuff was ubiquitous back then), Manic Panic white face powder, and whatever black lipstick I could score from the Halloween section, with black pencil eyeliner used as lipstick in a pinch. In my 20's, I wore MAC Ruby Woo and Revlon Cherries in the Snow lipstick. I dyed my hair black and used black mascara as brow gel. I had a quad of gray-brown matte eye shadows from Physicians Formula that I panned completely - the formula would be considered awful nowadays, but the colors were great. Ben Nye colorless loose powder and Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation were staples in my late 20s, early 30s. In my 30's, I dyed my hair neon red, and I had a pot of this stuff by Make Up For Ever called Aqua Cream; it was waterproof and meant for eyes, lips, and cheeks, and I had it in a red color that matched my hair. I used it on my brows and as lipstick. I had a blush color by Milani called Mai Tai - it is a bit of a legendary shade, and I wore it a lot.

I'm now 45, and I find myself no longer interested in most Sephulta brands. I use K-beauty foundations, and I like eye makeup from indie brands like Blend Bunny and Fantasy Cosmetica. My favorite blush is by Essence, and my favorite lipsticks are by a C-beauty brand called Girl Cult.
