The Legendary '90s Magazines That Inspired Each Character's Look
For inspiration on how to style each character's hair, lead hairstylist Barry Lee Moe sourced vintage ballroom photos as well as nearly every issue of JET and Ebony magazines. "These sources were a great place to find photos of what people were actually doing with their hair at the time," he said.
Similarly, Laurence looked to '90s supermodels and cover girls like Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, and Janet Jackson to re-create the makeup trends that were popular throughout the decade like the "supermodel lip," aka brown lip liner.
"We started steering away from the neons and purples and pinks of the '80s for some and started leaning more into the browns and taupes and muted colours on eyes and lips," she said. "Blush wasn't as bright and intense on our characters. For the lips, we used more reds and beige toned lips with darker liners." Laurence's liners of choice include the MAC Lip Pencil in the shades Spice ($18), Chestnut ($18), and Mahogany ($18) as well as the MAC Viva Glam lipstick ($19).
