May 15 2014 - 12:00pm

Those of us who remember the '90s tend to look back at the beauty looks of the time with a mix of nostalgia and nausea. Heavy lip liner, overly powdered faces, and crazy hairstyles all defined this era. Ahead, we've got 15 of our favorite celebrities of the '90s and the beauty looks that defined them for today's Throwback Thursday.

Kate Moss

When we think of the '90s, we can't help but think of new-to-the-scene Kate, with her grungy hair and girl-next-door makeup.

Winona Ryder

Is there anyone else more quintessentially '90s than Winona?

Halle Berry

The wispy face-framing pieces. The heavy lip liner. The piecey updo. We can't imagine a more '90s look on Halle.

Gwen Stefani

At the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards, Gwen was in her '90s glory with silver bindis and blue buns.

Loads of lip liner, penciled-in brows, and red curls were Janet's look of the '90s.

Drew Barrymore

When you think of Drew in the '90s, you can't help but think of her bleached-blond pixie, daisy hair pin, and brick-red lipstick.
