The Y2K beauty product caliber has come a long way since its first ’round’…
If you’re an older millennial like me, you’ll have fond memories of the beauty trends of the 2000s. For many of us, it was our first taste of makeup and provided the gateway to experimenting with our looks in the most fun way.
For me, this meant my cheekbones were swiped with glitter gel and dried to the point that my skin was pulled. A thick, sticky lip gloss. And she literally ironed my best friend’s hair as she lay on the ironing board.
Despite the nostalgia, it might send shivers down your spine to hear that Y2K’s beauty is back. Thankfully, now that he is in 2022, the quality of the product has improved significantly. That’s why why not embrace these throwback trends and seek out a little comfort.

all that glitters
Nothing says the new millennium like glitter. But instead of smooching a bun with glitter hairspray or accentuating your cheekbones with craft glitter from Whit Cool and Mother’s Vaseline, you can add sparkle all over your eyelids or tuck them inwards to keep this trend going. pay tribute to corner.
The MAC Glitter Pot was and still is the best way to add some buildable sparkle depending on your mood. For a more sophisticated look, opt for a wanded liquid eyeshadow for more control over glitter placement.
feeling frosty
Accenting the high parts of the face (nose, cheekbones, upper forehead) with strobe cream is a subtle nod to the very frosty makeup looks of the past. The slightly pinkish formula is a much more wearable shade on most skin tones compared to the pearly whites of the 2000s. A champagne-toned liner will make your eyes look brighter and bigger.
clip well
Worn by early 2000s icons such as Mandy Moore, Melissa Joan Hart, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the mini butterfly clip was an everyday accessory. In 2022, instead of tightly twisting a row of hair and securing it with a halo around the crown, a butterfly clip can be worn in a much more casual way. Keeping all the action in adds a fun irony to any outfit. Or follow the more Parisian trend by scooping up your hair with one large banana clip.
cheat
If you didn’t own a Lancôme Juicy Tube in 2002, you definitely wanted one. Available in a myriad of sheer shades, they’re shimmery, glossy, and guaranteed to get noticed by your crush. There are plenty of nonstick smooth lip options out there. MAC lip glasses (another cult favorite of his from the Y2K era) are still around and deliver the goods when it comes to gloss. Lip oils are another way to achieve glowy lips while nourishing them.
