These Are the Y2K Beauty Trends Taking Over Our Social Media Feeds

Over-Plucked Eyebrows

Yes, all that time you spent growing out your brows were in vain because thin brows are back. Either break out the tweezers or go down a deep TikTok rabbit hole to find a way to fake the funk. 

Heavy Blush

One might say that E-girl beauty’s obsession with blush stemmed off of the Y2K-era’s incessant need for high doses of the product. Of course, today we’re not limited to just powder blush — cream, liquid and even jelly blushes are in high demand.

Matte Face Makeup

While dewy skin has found a special place in our hearts, a matte complexion was all the rage in the early 2000s. This finish is music to the ears of oily skin types everywhere, but really anyone can sport the trend. Try Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Instant Perfector 4-in-1 Matte Makeup which has a whipped, lightweight texture that blurs pores, conceals blemishes, mattifies and evens skin tone — all in one easy step. 

Colorful Hair Accessories

Butterfly clips, bright scrunchies and colorful claw clips and headbands adorned everyone’s head in the year 2000. Today, these bold accessories are spinning back up in the best possible way. When styling your hair in the same fashion, don’t be afraid to mix and match.

Hair Tendrils

Never has two strands of hair had so much power to transform a look. Hair tendrils have a similar effect as bangs, but without the commitment and almost any hair texture can sport them. We just love an inclusive hair trend!
