Rihanna Makes ‘90s Beauty Trends Look Good

 

If there’s anyone who could make us seriously consider bringing back dark lip liner, it’s Rihanna. Whether it’s the asymmetrical haircut that first made her a style icon, or the claw-like nails she rocked before everyone else started sharpening their own talons, there’s no denying the girl has a way of making beauty trends go mainstream.

 

Her latest look for the cover of i-D magazine’s Pre-Spring 2015 issue is straight-up early ‘90s. In the photo shot by Paolo Roversi, our Instagram BFF wears braids like Janet Jackson’s in Poetic Justice, along with visibly lined lips in a pencil color that’s familiar to anyone who ever sat in after-school detention circa 1994. Just don’t act surprised when your 13-year-old niece is watching a YouTube tutorial on chola lip liner three months down the road — blame this bad gal.
