real early 2000s eyeshadow was applied with those sponge sticks!! flat side to apply eyeshadow, and taking the tip to smudge the eyeliner!! you had to be careful not to press to hard or the plastic would tear right through the spongey outer layer

This feels like a very tame early 2000's look! I used to have black smudged pencil all over my eyes (around 2010) then it was BOLD eyeshadow with black, blue and brown smokey eyes. Base was uniform and I'm glad I kept with this trend I hate blush. But my friends used to put bronzer all over their face XD

[@judiness101]

I’m 39. To me 2000’s makeup is all about the frosty loose eyeshadow like bad pigments or make up for ever star powder and then a matte eyeshadow layered on top of the shimmer. Pale pink lipgloss were super popular too. The actual concealer lip trend started later more near the end. Baby pink lipsticks like Mac st Germain were very popular too. The heavy matte foundation wasn’t really popular in 2004 when this picture is from. We were all about the face and body and tinted moisturizers. Honestly you have to think about this era as a continuation from grunge because a lot of the same principles are shared, greasy looking skin, minimal blush, maximalist eye looks without using 5 different eyeshadows and the heavy smudged liner. What makes it is own thing is the frost eyeshadows and the pale pink lips. And lipsticks were for old ladies we only wore glosses and no lip liners.

[@amethystscorner]

I never fully stopped doing the black or brown eyeliner all around my eyes. Something about my hazel just seems to pop a lot more whenever I do that tight line darker look. There's absolutely a time and a place for the brown eyeliner wing, cuz that can help my eyes pop in a different way. But there's never been anything that will quickly make my eye color so intense the way a good tight line and dark eyeliner will. I feel like it goes the same way with any more bright Jewel toned eyes. Like bright green or bright blue or light brown, they just pop so much more with that sultry eyeliner

So I’d smudge some eyeliner just below my lashes on lower lashline instead of IN the waterline. Or I’d use eyeshadow on lower lashline. I still do eyeshadow on lower lashline but not eyeliner.

Stick thin eyebrows..90’s makeup up was about full face contrast. So 200o’s seemed to lean into an exaggerated almost 80’s aesthetic with lots of blue eyeshadow, colored eyeliner and a thin pale lip , tan.. now everything is based on a multiracial, doll-like aesthetic brought on by plastic surgery and drag looks. I see that Korean looks are in , full stained lips , semi dewy , minimal shimmer shadow, peachy high blush , brown liners . It’s all so interesting!

[@pollysshore2539]

2000s was very 1960s and 1980s inspired. It makes sense. When it comes to standard cyclical makeup trends it’s perfectly natural for people to be attracted to the makeup their mothers, or perhaps grandmothers wore. 1990s makeup had a lot of inspiration from the 1930s and 1970s (including the wash and go/minimalist 90s trend). Subcultures have always done their thing but you can count on girls and young women to look toward the women in their past, including older siblings, etc. The rest of the trends and microtrends at the moment are a mess. They change every week - 2 weeks.

[@pollysshore2539]

Note: Current trends wouldn’t be so bad if girls did not feel the need to spend hundreds a new fast fashion wardrobe (that falls apart the first wash) to go with their 2 week long “aesthetic”. 😂 Makeup and fashion historians have been monitoring it and from a historical standpoint they all find the changes brought by social media to be fascinating. They are also concerned and have been saying it’s spiraled into madness for ~ 4 years. It should burn several out on trends sooner rather than later. That is a plus.

I dunno Kelly, I think you look great and honestly most of that makeup application seems pretty "standard" to me. But maybe that's bc early 2000s is when I learned to do makeup, was really in my formative makeup era, so those techniques or styles just stuck with me. I personally do not prefer brown mascara or liner bc I have much darker hair and eyes than you do, so black liner etc looks more natural on me. A lighter lip paired with a smokier eye is just classic - all you did was line your lips and use a lighter gloss (2000s was definitely a glossy time!) Agreed abt winged liners not being as prevalent, I was surprised to see that become the "default" around 2014. But everything else you did seems pretty classic and timeless. I did really love smoking out my lower lashline with a black-lined water line and a different color shadow on the lashline. The way that could create a sort of bag under the eye haha. I thought (still think) that looked chic - like in the Cameroz Diaz pic. Thanks for this flashback tho! And again your makeup looks great.

I was born in ‘81 so 2000s was my early 20s and the make up was just as different as it is today. We see Paris Hilton and the Olsons and other famous people and think that is how everyone looked. No, there were not a million brands releasing a million products every day. But it was better that way. I was a Benefit girl and Urban Decay. And I loved those drugstore quad shadows that were creamy, the packaging was long, and they came in a million colors including multichrome tones. No, no one really knew how to do their make up if they weren’t an MUA but we shared tips with each other. It changed my life when I asked a girl i worked with how she drew such perfect liquid eye liner (which was so messy to use then) and she introduced me to the q-tip with make up remover. Blush? Nars orgasm. Always lining the insides of my eyes. From Benefit, I used their scent Maybe, Baby and Bo-ing which was heavy under eye help thank god. I put pink in the corner of my eye and on my brow bone and used a liquid pink (all from benefit) down the center of my face. I used a Physicians Formula bronzer with a gold sun in the middle of it. My favorite product was a shade of lipstick called But, Officer. Urban decay had the fun colors. I loved their palettes and have kept some. My favorite product was a lip stain from Stila in a raisin color. In the early 2000s, there was no normal girls wearing primer, using a bunch of brushes, wearing fake lashes, etc. I’m ready to make my own vid now

I remember when Mac first launched their bronzers. It was a huge event at the Mac counter and I remember it vividly. It clearly was a pivotal moment in my life lol.

I miss the era of magazines! I used to subscribe to Cosmo, Glamour, Allure, and Marie Claire and waited patiently each month to devour the latest beauty and fashion trends!

[@dreamchaser7603]

For some reason it looks so much cooler!! 🖤 Iconic! 🙌🏼 As a 27 y.o I’m so done with modern makeup!!

[@GeminiGlitters]

I was a child in the 2000s but I loved the vibe of it (I watched my aunts wearing the Smokey eyes and nude lips ) . Btw Kelly you look gorgeous with this makeup and hoops 😍😍.

[@BaileyBailey-t1s]

Kelly, i just want to say that I look up to you so much. You are the epitome of class and grace! Ouuu, I love that the early 2000's makeup is back!

[@foodvixxen3292]

Im 33 and i still do my makeup like this lol i never changed much. And still dont wear much makeup the 2012s were the worst for me. Everyone had such cakey makeup

[@minervarose7664]

Knowing that my teenage years are considered "historical" is making me feel like someone from a history book 😂😂😂

[@Nancy2420s]

Till this day, I still do late 1990s and early 2000's makeup, and it makes me look so young I am only 42. VS that conture look that I can't even do properly and it makes me look older .

[@Mcoogie]

When your lower eyeline is so balck, your undereye auromatically looks brighter. We didnt need all that brightening in that area.

[@gategirl66]

Speaking of "back in my day". I'm 58 and never knew a single person who used concealer under their eyes. We only used it to conceal blemishes. I remember when I started watching makeup KZbin I was stunned seeing it used that way! I've worn a full face of makeup for 43 years and never worn concealer under my eyes once.

[@carriejones2231]

51, here. I used it in college if I had a little too much color (blue) under my eyes. I could look really sleep deprived. Just a dab. I used colored Clearasil on any spots and many times, that was it. Black eyeliner smudged, although my Mary Kay lady said I should use brown, most often no eyeshadow. I never used much foundation, and I don't remember any of my friends doing much either, other than lightly correcting a pimple or spot. Eyes were where it was at.

[@marygracefelton]

The eye side by side! I actually love the side with the smoky black liner. It makes your brown eyes POP and they look so warm and sultry

[@julietabp]

I think you missed the key thing of the early 2000s smokey look: the smudged lower lash line. That completely changes the look and eye shape, and it is what emphasized that round-eye look the Olsen twins had.

[@eeeeeeeeee10]

Giiiiirllll taking less than 5 min gives accurate results and you’re not supposed to use brushes! 😂❤

[@krystleh5487]

I love the warm softness of the early 2000s makeup. People look so or too harsh.

[@87Ashlee]

Not complaining about a comeback of the zero’s, I never stopped wearing black eyepencil in my waterline. I just love it so much🫣🤩 And im 37 so I was 14 in 2000!

[@betsybabf748]

Trends are usually big for those in their teens and 20s. They copy what the trend is. When you get older, you gain more wisdom and have learned what flatters you most. You then ignore trends, knowing wearing that looks best on you individually is always what is most on trend.

[@CeruleanStar]

I was young when this makeup was popular, but my older sisters rocked it. When I was nine, my older sister did my makeup for fun, and I still have the picture of little me being full 2000's glam. They definitely used different techniques back then. The average person used the little sponge applicators for eyeshadow and the little brushes for blush that came in the packaging with the products. I don't think it's as easy to replicate the looks my sisters pulled off with the brushes we use today. Today's brushes lay the pigment down differently, so it takes more effort to make it accurate for the time. The products I remember weren't the same as the popular ones used today either. Most people I knew used a foundation, a concealer the same color as the foundation as you said, but then also a powder in that same color as well. I still use a pigmented powder over my foundation because the look suits me, but it was far more common back then. Smokey eyes were common, but so were pale shimmers like blue and silver. One of my older sisters prefered the shimmers, while the other went with the smokey look. I guess this could vary region by region, but this is what I remember my older sisters and their friends doing.

[@TheFaro2011]

UK, south asian. I wore black winged because I'm high contrast and eyeshadow would look "unfinished" or the eyes naked without a line on top but would be very thin. And we had kate moss do a feline look with rimmel in emerald green. I remember we'd use eye pencil, warm up in our mouths and then have one chance to make the wing go up! Blue/lilac frosty shadows. Glossy lips, and a low down blush. And absolutely rimmed out our eyes with BLackest liner

[@kenrawaaaahhhhh]

THIS IS THE KIND OF RESEARCH WE NEED 👏👏i am so about how in depth this is the lack of WING the lack of BLUSH the ROUNDED SHAPE OF THE EYESSSS

[@emiliesan2184]

thank you so much for this Kelly! also I think that in the years 2000's we did not have access to botox and fillers, so the makeup result was also less performative compared to nowadays ;)

[@PleasantRevolt]

00/s OG here, something to keep in mind for the authentic look, we didn’t set or prime anything LOL

[@lyndsib1639]

Also… have to admit… this & 90s romcom makeup are my favorite makeup looks of all time 😅🥰😍

[@a.c.6601]

I loved early 00s makeup, especially the eyes. I still find a black smoky eye so intriguing, though I’m not sure I ever mastered it (I’m 35 now so we’re talking when I was around 10, and I didn’t even really wear makeup til middle school and high school, and even then, it was mostly kajal/kohl. As an Indian, the black liner tightlined and waterlined is classic, especially with a wing, and it’s a look I love (but very rarely wear). On the rare occasion I actually wear my eyes like that, I find that my eyes glimmer more, and I actually think your liner look achieves the same in this video! You look beautiful. I love these types of videos. Thanks for always reminding me that makeup is supposed to be fun!

[@a.c.6601]

That said, a trend I don’t think I’ll ever do again is concealer lips. I hated it then because I found it so hard to achieve as a brown girl, hate it now (on me at least).

[@omgitsreyz]

Brown girl here 👋🏽 Love kajal soo soo much. I prefer a dark brown / burgundy to a black kajal these days.

[@jessbarnes8521]

Clinique under eye airbrush concealer stick was so popular but never strong enough to cover my dark circles. Nars bronzer and bronzing body oil, MAC lipstick and gloss and white eyeshadow in the inner corners of your eyes to open them up! I can’t believe I used to put bronzer all over my face and dab it on the end of my nose, while using liquid highlighter above my cheekbones.

[@shicadelic]

Man! I am so glad I was born in '86 ! Got to grow up without social media and nobody had a good enough cellphone cameras to take pictures of me being messy😂 having said that u got into make up in 2006... started watching the OG beauty gurus most of them are not really around anymore. Didn't have money to even buy drugstore makeup , I was a really poor student. I remember that catrice and essence started to take off in EU at that time and that v was the only stuff I could buy. Their products were really shitty quality back then , however priced at 1-3 eur. I remember that I only had a handful of single eyeshadows, one mascara and maybe 3 lip products And certainly less than 5 blushes. No bronzer, no highlighter, no primer, no setting spray and NO eyebrow products. It was the most free and happiest time of my life.

[@EmilyTheSaint_]

I couldn’t find makeup fair enough for me at my most palest (I’m a redhead) until around 2015. It wasn’t my fault my base was too dark!! 👩🏻‍🦰
