Get The Look: Y2K Makeup Tutorial

Tell me you’re obsessed with the Y2K trend without telling me you’re obsessed with the Y2K trend. That’s right, the trends of the 00s are back; we’re talking bold shadow, colourful liner, glossy lips, and plenty of gems. 

If you’re not already on this time machine, @alice_crue is here with the ultimate Y2K festival makeup tutorial that will have you feeling those 2004 vibes. 

STEP ONE

Prep the eyelids with By BEAUTY BAY’s Eye Base to make sure your eyeshadow shades pop. 

STEP TWO

Use By BEAUTY BAY’s Pastel Crayon Eyeliner in Blue Skies to cover the whole lid. 

STEP THREE

Use a medium flat brush to blend out the colour. Make sure to blend before the crayon dries. 

STEP FOUR

Use the same technique on the lower lash line. 

STEP FIVE

Add By BEAUTY BAY’s Liquid Crystal Eyeshadow in shade Opal to the inner corner of the lid and blend, blend, blend. 

STEP SIX

With Urban Decay’s Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Volume, create a thin, angled flick on the outer corner of the eye. 

STEP SEVEN

Use the same eyeliner across the upper lash line to create the perfect cat eye. 

STEP EIGHT

Draw another line parallel to your cat eye flick just above the crease starting from the inner corner and working upwards. 

TIP: Apply a few layers of the liner to keep it as glittery as possible. 

STEP NINE

Finish your Y2K look by adding jewels around the face and eyes, plenty of gloss to the lips, and your best hair accessories. 2003 called…
