488. Celebrities Favorite Lipsticks in 1998.

I've been wanting to compile some photos of 90s makeup, and there was an Erin Parsons TikTok recently about the popularity of Chanel's Vamp lipstick and nail polish. Now, behind her in the video was a screenshot of a newspaper article from 1998 that had a list of what celebrities wore what lipstick:

And of course, you know me I love old newspapers. I had to search high and low for this article, since I don't have a newspapers.com account. This article was syndicated in late December 1998, into early January of 1999. Here is the archived text version. Here are the screenshots from the The Tuscaloosa News  Jan 3, 1999 article (1, 2)

You're going to notice some trends.
