The Best Early Aughts-Inspired Makeup Looks to Recreate for Prom
April 28, 2022
Dark, Visible Lip Liner
If you’re all about the lips, recreate one of the early 2000s’ most iconic makeup trends: the dark, visible lip liner. Makeup artist @blackpyramidd completed this gorgeous ombre effect lip with the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Inti-Matte Nude Lipstick in Beige Babe and a bit of lip gloss.Monochromatic Makeup
Brown was usually the monochromatic hue of choice in the early aughts. For a modern spin, brighten the look up by painting a neutral pink flush across your eyes, cheeks and lips.
Unexpected Pop of Color
Bright lilac, blue and pink eyeshadows reigned supreme in the early 2000s. While we mainly saw the color swiped across the lids, a few people made a statement by adding color to their lower lash line. Bring this trend back in an unexpected way on prom night by choosing a color that contrasts your dress.
Full-On Early Aughts
Instead of incorporating only one early-2000s trend into your makeup, add a few to your look for a full blast from the past. Here, makeup artist @gab.vx makes @fashmine’s eyes frosty and lips extra glossy. Balance out the shiny aspects by keeping your face makeup matte with the NYX Professional Makeup Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Foundation.
