Here, six of the best nostalgic trends to try.
You’ve already seen it trending on TikTok and being embraced by today’s young stars: the 2000s party girl aesthetic is back with a vengeance. Pairing perfectly with bright flash photography in dark nightclubs, early aughts beauty was all about classic beauty elements like red lipstick and black liquid liner, applied without being too precious about it and worn with carefree ease. Maybe it was intentional, or maybe that’s just how makeup looks after a night of dancing and drinking champagne, but either way the lived-in look always denotes effortless cool.
If you want to get in on the trend and capture that spirit for your next night out on the town, here are six products that will help you reacquaint yourself with the best of 2000s beauty trends.
A long-lasting liquid eyeliner delivers a look that will last all night. Line both top and bottom lash lines for the authentic ’00s effect.
Creamy eyeshadow or pencil formulas help metallic colors look extra bright and molten.
This iconic midnight purple nail polish still goes with everything, in every season.
We love this long-wearing red with a slightly moody undertone. Lipstick bullets are the easiest to apply and touch up in a single swipe.
Or, you can get the dewy look with a clear balm highlighter sans sparkle.
Lining just the bottom lash line with blue shadow is one of the easiest ways to add color without overthinking it.
