Mob Beauty's Smooth Precision Waterproof Lip Liner in M1990 recreates an iconic 90s shade for a new generation with a waterproof, richly pigmented formula in 100% silicone-free, plastic-free formula and packaging.
Millennials' deep-seated nostalgia for 90s beauty looks reflects their formative years and a desire to reconnect with the styles of their youth. Gen Z has a similar fascination for minimalist makeup, brown lip liner and frosted cosmetics but can't authentically recreate looks from the decade because of updated formulas.
Victor Casale, who founded Mob Beauty, was the chief chemist at MAC during the brand's inception and created the iconic MAC Spice lip liner. After discovering an original lab sample, Casale reverse-aged the formula to revive the perfect cool tone neutral lip shade for 90s makeup lovers.
