She then showcased three more lipstick shades; 90s Runway, 90s Supermodel and 90s Icon.

Kim then followed up with a close-up photo of one of her makeup looks from the era revealing it was the inspiration for her ‘Icon’ shade.

The reality star revealed earlier this month that she was releasing a 90s inspired KKW Beauty collection.

Kim is often pictured re-wearing couture looks from the iconic decade, which have been previously worn by supermodels Helena Christensen and Naomi Campbell on the catwalk, so it’s no surprise she’s been inspired to create a ‘nostalgic’ make-up range that pays homage to her favorite fashion era.

Announcing the new range Kim wrote on Instagram: ‘I’m so excited to announce my new 90’s inspired collection of all matte formulas- The Matte Smoke & Matte Cocoa Collections!!!

‘I get a lot of my makeup inspiration from the 90’s and love how nostalgic this entire collection is.’

Showing off the colour swatches on Twitter, the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star announced three new matte nude hues, available in 90s chic, 90s glam and 90s style.

She captioned the photo: “My new matte formula lipstick is soooooo good!!! (sic)”

And Kim particularly loves the new cosmetic range because it reminds her of the make-up she would wear when she was growing up.

She added: “I used to wear this burgundy lip all the time in high school! These are the new matte lipsticks and liners for the matte cocoa collection (sic)”
