When nostalgia hits, there is no option other than to ride the wave.
Former Disney star and contemporary beauty icon Selena Gomez took a trip down memory lane recently when she posted a series of snaps on her Instagram Stories, dating from back when she was in the process of creating her makeup line, Rare Beauty.
The 31-year-old stopped us in our tracks last month when she brought her beauty A-game to the prestigious SAG Awards.
The Only Murders in the Building actress looked radiant in custom Atelier Versace, teamed alongside a bronzy tonal makeup moment. Voluminous lashes, glowy skin and a terracotta lip shade united to form a cohesive, sultry look.

Committed to "breaking down unrealistic standards of perfection", the brand's ethos is all about self-love and using makeup as a tool of enhancement rather than as a mask.
"This is makeup made to feel good in, without hiding what makes you unique—because Rare Beauty is not about being someone else, but being who you are," Rare Beauty writes on its website.

In one photo, bottles were lined up in shade order, seemingly an early stage of the foundation or tinted moisturiser development process.
