The decade of grunge and Clueless is undergoing its biggest resurgence, though much of its beauty influence remains questionable (skinny brows? Never again).

The inclusion of nourishing ingredients, like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, means they won’t leave puckers dry the way the ones in the ’90s did – SK
