Retro Beauty Trend: 90s Supermodel Skin

 
16 February 2014

This season is all about ‘statement skin’ to mimic the flawless complexions of the supermodels in the 90s. Want to try it yourself? Rimmel London show you how...

The supermodels of the 90s were among the first models to become celebrities in their own right, photographed as much off the catwalk as they were on it. With luscious lashes, expertly sculpted cheekbones and perfectly lined lips, it was their almost too-perfect skin that really got the flashbulbs popping. With her reputation as one of the top models of the 90s, 00s and beyond, no one encapsulates ‘supermodel skin’ more than Rimmel London girl Kate Moss. It’s this statement skin of Kate and her ilk that artists at London Fashion Week have been striving to recreate, with very little make-up on the eyes, cheeks or lips.

Get the Look:

For skin as gorgeous as Kate’s, first prep it for foundation using a primer. Rimmel London’s Stay Matte Primer is ideal for oily skins as it prevents a greasy complexion and minimises pores.  Apply over the whole face, wait a minute or two then reach for your foundation.

Rimmel London’s Match Perfection Foundation is lightweight, seamless and perfect for achieving supermodel skin - just ask the gorgeous Georgia May Jagger who recently fronted its campaign.  But great supermodel skin doesn’t mean piling on heaps of product. For seamless coverage, start with a small amount on your nose and gently work your way out towards the rest of the face to avoid any tide-lines (where you can see where the colour stops and your natural skintone starts).

(Tip: Use your jawline -not the back of your hand- as a guide to which shade you should go for.)

To set your make-up, apply a light dusting of powder on your nose, forehead and chin. Rimmel London’s Clear Complexion Clarifying Powder has a special Pureskin™ complex to keep breakouts at bay.

And that’s it – perfect supermodel skin in three easy steps with Rimmel London
