Since its premiere in the '90s, the cultural impact of NBC sitcom "Friends" has been felt all over the world. Its relatable themes of independence and coming of age (via BBC) and near perfect execution of the found family trope (via Showbiz Cheat Sheet) made it so easy to fall in love with these six friends. But beyond the friendships, "Friends" started a beauty revolution. Per Elle, the iconic series had a lot of beauty lessons that were ahead of their time, including blending foundation with a damp sponge, using a cream and powder blush to perfect the natural flushed cheeks look, and complimenting the '90s brown lipstick trend with nude lip liner.
Rachel Green — played by Jennifer Aniston — will forever be our ultimate beauty icon. Her effortless style and flawless makeup looks have fueled many beauty shopping trips. Robin Siegel, department head of makeup for nine seasons of "Friends," revealed the beauty products she used on Aniston and it's giving us major beauty inspiration.
