I Tried 2016 Makeup

[@sydt7104]

I can't remember who pointed out and where, but they made the connection between drag makeup and 2016 KZbin makeup being basically an equal sign. All these extra steps - baking, contouring, the bold eyes, the big lashes, the beam to outer space highlighter are all drag/stage makeup techniques.

[@NamasteInYourLane]

It was definitely drag style makeup but I think the Kardashians made it popular for everyone to do. I'm ready for the "natural look" to come back. Lol

[@orangeblossom5362]

This was said a lot back in 2016 as well. The “instagram” makeup look

[@mambowumbo]

it is a drag make up. if you look at any drag make up tutorial, it all has the same step and exaggeration to the make up

[@benamisai-kham5892]

Is it bad that I still sometimes catch myself doing 2016-18 drag tutorial techniques 💀

Jackie has moved on a bit, mainly just softening everything up.

[@tamararhodes7317]

[@caseyj779]

That is because it is really similar to drag makeup and Nikki is trans. Makes sense.

[@sadakopilled]

tbh i say ignore wether it's "making a comeback" or not, just do whatever makeup style you love, i mean who to say we have to depend on whatever trend tiktok picks up? i do early 90s makeup like every day i go out even though i don't see it being viral or anything cuz honestly who cares! you go girl!

[@deedeedussard]

Right I'm still rocking funky eye shadow and Idgaf. I was picking up a lip liner and a woman working on the nyx counter told me she loved my eye shadow (I was the nicest duochrome) and said it was nice to see someone wearing colour because the clean girl look is cool but its kinda boring and I just laughed but kinda agreed. We can be so creative with make up and everyone doing the same trend takes the creativity out of it

[@isabellasuell3305]

Tbh I think the only reason "clean girl" got popular is because people were copying folks who just do bare minimum for work lol

[@aesthetix3398]

Yes, I barely do trends.

[@MileinaJuarez]

Exactly! I only wear black. Nothing else ever. So I want my eyeshadow to be more colorful, to use colors that suit me that way. I don’t care if it’s on trend or not. Everyone else already looks like everyone else. We should do what we like.

[@nickilubra3981]

I’ve always used a mix of 2016 techniques and today’s and it’s absolutely the way to go! 2016 eyeshadow but just mascara, no fake lashes,medium coverage foundation with a satin finish, beaming highlight but underneath blush, well blended contour with an actual contour shade, natural, full and neat brows but never brushed up or carved, well blended bronzer to mimic a tan and well blended blush and light bake only on tzone never to set under eye concealer and very little concealer to begin with only on darkest part of eye circles. I like all lip products too but usually glossy over matte.

[@happyglow4430]

it was this 2016 style makeup that made Vogue beauty serets videos so interesting to watch. Nowadays its soo boring cz everyone there does simple minimal makeup

[@juliawacker]

What? 2016 was Just as boring because everyone used the same viral products and techniques like Kim K contour and baking, cutcreases and overdrawn Kylie lips. The interesting thing was if they used normal amounts of product with proper tools or if they dripped it on and applied it with a shoe or kitchen sponge.

[@holographicamvs4093]

I been doing 2016 makeup 😅 it never phase me bc I love being glam

[@mikkymaulenreyes6877]

ok but that black eye and black lip look was choice, you should do a tutorial for it i want to do it !!!!

[@sassneversleeps]

Damn this makeup look was so iconic it represented a whole generation. All the products too, holy shit I feel like I've been transported back in time. My only gripe was the absence of a liquid lipstick and the potato head at the beginning😂 It would be my go to look for when the hottest tea is being spilt (just for the memories). But alas my favourite look is the no makeup makeup look, literally. Anyway, makeup styles may have changed but Darcei's still snatched whether it's the rOmAnTiC eyeshadow or the black lipstick, slay kween.

[@zinja0830]

I'mma pretend that I wasn't already procrastinating on work and say I dropped everything when the notif popped up lol. Pretty sure I would have either way bc I love your videos!

[@Myatheroses]

Omg the rose eyeshadow is such a nostalgic throwback for me lol. Every eyeshadow palette back then was rose gold or pink. Honestly rose gold is still king but more subtle than that. I think the stress of pandemic as well as prioritizing mental health, skincare, and healing, makeup and clothes are more simple and minimal looking. I am in the middle, I love that we don’t have to try as hard and can embrace our skin, but dressing up is fun and it’s boring to only wear sweatpants and moisturizer all the time

[@robiellexd5693]

8 years later and no joke, I still do the 2016 brows up until now because that what suits me the best. Make up should be fun, feel free to wear 2016 make up at 2024, or the next year, or the next! Doesn't matter as long as you're happy with your look. You slay ♥️
