Just as we thought the Y2K aesthetic was fading from mainstream culture, TikTok revived the 2000s makeup trend. Beauty creators worldwide are recreating frosty, cool-toned eye makeup inspired by K-Pop superstar, Lee Hyori. This trend complements the recent chromatic, blue-toned eyeshadow trend that’s been making waves, offering a fun and nostalgic take for those seeking a throwback vibe. Ahead, we’ll be sharing the step-by-steps on how to nail down this popstar-inspired 2000s makeup routine.
For a flawless Korean-inspired makeup look, start with a blurring primer, along with a high-coverage foundation after your skincare routine. Use a concealer to both hide blemishes and highlight your face’s high points, blending seamlessly. Next, contour with bronzer to define the nose and jawline. Opt for a cool-toned pink blush to complement the upcoming blue eyeshadow.
Moving to the eyes, apply a shimmery frosted blue shade across the lid, adding a slightly darker gray to the outer corners for depth. Create a straight wing with black liquid eyeliner on the outer two-thirds of the eye. Swap for a kohl eyeliner to line the lower lash line, connecting it to the wing. Brighten the inner corners with a silver glitter eyeshadow for a signature sparkle. Finish with curled lashes and waterproof mascara for a long-lasting lift.
For the lips, choose a cool-toned pink lipstick and add gloss for a fresh, glossy finish. This look captures the essence of 2000s makeup with a modern twist!
