Why is Y2k Makeup trending?

1
Nostalgia
Y2K makeup is becoming popular again because of the nostalgia factor. Many people who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s are now adults and are looking back on that time with fondness. Y2K makeup is a way to relive that era and feel nostalgic.
2
Social Media
Social media has played a big role in the resurgence of Y2K makeup. Influencers and celebrities are posting pictures and videos of themselves wearing Y2K makeup, which has sparked interest and inspired others to try the trend.
3
Unique Look
Y2K makeup offers a unique and bold look that stands out from the more natural and minimalistic makeup trends of recent years. It allows people to express themselves creatively and experiment with different colors and textures.
4
Fashion Trends
Fashion trends from the late 90s and early 2000s are also making a comeback, such as low-rise jeans and crop tops. Y2K makeup complements these fashion trends and completes the overall look.
5
Accessibility
Y2K makeup is relatively easy and affordable to recreate. Many drugstore brands offer products that fit the Y2K aesthetic, such as glitter eyeshadows and lip glosses. This makes it accessible to a wider range of people who may not want to invest in high-end makeup products.

I think I realized the reason some of us female identifying millennials hate the style comeback.
I posted a comment in another sub to a Gen Z obsession with y2k core aesthetic. Like playboy bunny bedspread etc. I suppose many people their age don’t realize how different things were SOCIALLY growing up in this era. For example, I was 10 years old wearing thongs, watching Girls Next Door, MTV, VH1, etc., belly dancing - all these things I was TAUGHT by the television that it’s my job to be eye candy and a sex doll for men. That mindset even crept into many parent’s brains, mine being some of them. Maybe because my parents had me so young. Idk. I had STRICT parents in some respects, no black nail polish, no swearing. But I could wear a mini skirt and a bombshell bra at 14. I could read Cosmo magazine and learn about sex positions men like. I could read romance novels and I could be a cheerleader and I could do yoga at the pool in my bathing suit as a minor????? I could bleach my hair, wear all the makeup I wanted, hair extension. But don’t I dare post on social media about my opinions and thoughts. I always had a boyfriend at least 4 years older than me and when I was 18 I dated a man 10 years older who my parents welcomed into our home……. But, Don’t be cringe online don’t dare want to be an emo kid hahahaha. Don’t you dare dye your hair colorfully, and don’t you dare express yourself outside of what is now dubbed “bimbocore”. My mother did my hair and makeup until was leaving for college lmfao. It was a different time vanity wise, parenting wise, and sexuality wise. And in retrospect, a lot of it was traumatic. submitted by /u/Lakewater22 to r/Millennials [link] [comments]

Shimmers like Victoria's Secret y2k Makeup?!
With Christmas and colder weather fast approaching, I've been really loving the idea of nails that are more shimmery than overly chunky with pieces of glitter. My inspo is this VS y2k makeup look.

what’s your unpopular makeup opinion?
Mine are 1: that taking drastic measures to change your brows isn’t worth it (e.g. shaving, tattooing, plucking…). Trends change all the time so why not just embrace your natural brows? Unless they naturally look atrocious of course, to which I’d say by all means go right ahead with the procedure… And 2: I also feel like y2k makeup gets more hate than it should. I personally have always been a fan of the eyeshadow looks and glossy lips of that era submitted by /u/redlipstick1010 to r/Makeup [link] [comments]

We went to the movies 54 times this year [2024], and here are my personal feelings about those films.
Previous Years 2023 - 2022 This is now my third year doing something like this, and I really enjoyed talking to people last year about where my movies fell versus where they felt things needed to land. There were definitely a few criticisms last year that I'd like to clear up beforehand: I do view myself as a "typical moviegoer" and don't see myself as a cinephile at all. My wife and I tend to go during the weekends at daytime hours, it's just our preference, which does limit us sometimes with movies that aren't as popular and are in their 3rd-4th week of a run. There are a lot of movies we'd like to see but don't get around to just because a smaller release happens during a time where we're very busy and don't get to the theater for a few weeks. Many of you were critical of the fact that I often took small naps during movies - It never bothered me, but I did find out that I was vitamin D deficient early this year, and taking vitamins has helped out a lot This list does include movies from 2023 that I either saw at the beginning of 2024, or we saw in 2023 after releasing my list last year. A Quick Note on Categories: Other than "Favorite of the Year" I don't particularly have other categories ranked top to bottom in terms of favorite. There are movies in the "Enjoyed it, but Probably Wouldn't Watch Again" category that I liked better than movies in the "Enjoyed it and Would Watch Again" category, but I prefer fun and more relaxed movies for multiple viewings. Favorite of the Year [Ranked in Order] My Old Ass: I expected to like this one, as a comedy. . .But I came out of the theater with tears in my eyes. Yea sure it's about a drug induced romp [on the surface], but as I get older I feel this one really spoke to me on a deeper level. We Live in Time: I don't know if I'll ever watch it again. It doesn't strike me as the type of movie that I am going to want to watch a second time, just because of the subject nature and how deeply sad it is. . .But it moved me pretty significantly as is the second time I've ever found myself crying at a movie theater. Lisa Frankenstein: I was surprised to learn some people really hated this one, because I think it was the perfect amount of fun. . and weird. . .and campy. I Enjoyed it and Would Watch Again Deadpool & Wolverine: It's just a fun love letter of a movie, right? I don't go to a Deadpool movie expecting everything to make sense. I just want a good old fashioned 4th wall breaking bromance, and this movie delivers. Saturday Night: The movie has a very frenetic energy to it and didn't give me a lot of breathing room to process different things going on, which is something that I typically don't enjoy. For some reason [maybe it's the fact that I do watch SNL and kind of have that expectation anyway] it just works, and I'd probably want to watch it again to see what nuances I might pick up on. Inside Out 2: Inside Out 2 does a far better job [in my opinion] of being a fun Disney sequel than Moana 2 does. I think I'd need to watch both entries of this franchise back to back to really decide which one I like better. Heretic: I don't know if I ever thought I'd see Hugh Grant in a horror movie like this. It hits all the notes that I expect from the genre, but I really liked the Book of Mormon x Horror vibe, and the almost chess like mentality his villain hits throughout the entire movie. Fly Me to the Moon: We live in a time where people just make shit up, so even though this takes place before the moon landing, it still sort of felt topical. . .Except it's also a very funny comedy. Speak No Evil: I'm writing this after writing a few other similar thoughts further down the list - Once again, another movie that feels totally ruined by the trailers. . Why do they keep doing this to us? Except it honestly doesn't even matter. The movie just works. . I'd watch it 10 more times just to see if I pick up on anything in the background. Enjoyed Far More Than I Expected Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: I saw and enjoyed the first remake but have become disillusioned by the movies with each passing sequel. I really didn't think this would be very interesting, but was happily very surprised. Civil War: Given the political climate of The United States around the time that this started to promo/release, I was very nervous as to this one having a bullshit political agenda [for either side]. Given that it did not, and took steps to really make sure the audience couldn't try to pull an agenda out of it, I was able to fully enjoy the romp. Gladiator II: I'm getting sick of these 20 years later sequels and really had very low expectations for the movie. I don't think it's the amazing film my wife thinks that it is, but I was definitely. . .Entertained. Trap: I was really annoyed by the trailers for this movie, which seemingly gives away "the big reveal" and ruins the entire thing - Except they pull back that curtain very early in the movie, and it's a non issue. Really enjoyed this way more than I expected to. The Fall Guy: This is one of those movies I went into ready to be annoyed, because I had seen promos for it way too many times and was just sick of seeing that stupid trailer over and over again. I just had zero expectations going in and was pleasantly surprised. At the time of this blurb I think I've seen it 3 times, which is unusual for me. Wicked: Coming off the heels of Mean Girls. . And Dear Even Hanson. . And pretty much all modern Broadway movies, I had almost no expectations at all for this one. I love Broadway, and was ready to nap my way through it. . .Though Wicked definitely proved me wrong, that you can do a musical correctly. The Iron Claw: If you told me I'd ever feel bad for a jacked up Zac Efron I would have laughed at you, and yet here we are. The only thing that stops this from being a top contender for me is that technically it came out last year, though I saw it after that list. Alien: Romulus: I know I'll be crucified for saying this, but I've never seen a full Alien movie all the way through. It just wasn't ever my thing, though we both really enjoyed it. I have since wanted to make my way through a chronological of the entire series, though have found myself lacking time to get around to it. I Saw The TV Glow: This is a movie that I didn't expect very much from, other than having a weird nostalgia feel to it. I really enjoyed most of it, but as it started to get really trippy towards the end it lost me. Twisters: On the list of movies that I ever thought would get a sequel this far down the road? I mean Twister seems like an easy enough candidate with a very generic premise, but I never really imagined it would happen. . .And yet it works. . .It works because it's no more a sequel of Twister than any generic disaster movie is [not] a sequel to another generic disaster movie of the same disaster. . . Does that even make sense? I don't know, but it was fun. Enjoyed it, but Probably Wouldn't Watch Again Here: The movie is just different, unlike anything I've ever seen before. I don't know if the gimmick is worth a second viewing, but it captivated me on the first one. Red One: Generic holiday action romp, we've been getting a bunch of these in the last few years. Glad I saw it, don't regret the time spent. . .Might get 2-3 minutes of my time if I'm ever flipping through channels and it happens to be on. A Real Pain: If I wasn't limiting myself to 3 movies in "Favorites of the Year," this would probably be number 4. . Though The ambiguity of the ending feels pointless [there really isn't much to think about in that regard]. Arthur the King: This is probably the first movie that has ever made me legitimately cry. I walked out of the theater nearly bawling. I give it props for that, but I have no desire to subject myself to it again. American Fiction: I'd say the first 2 acts of the movie are almost perfect, but I really didn't care for the way they did the ending in multiple paths. Like. . I got it from an author perspective, but I just don't feel like it worked. Challengers: I think my wife has probably seen this 5 times since it came out. I don't know if I can watch it again. Its a slower moving film, which isn't really my thing - I enjoyed it, I liked it a lot actually, but I don't think I'll be returning to the couch to see it again. Babes: It's funny in the same way all of those comedies about a very specific situation being dramatized for comedy are funny. The movie works because its a premise that I haven't seen before. But I don't think the magic will work a second time. Dune: Part Two: Look, both Dune movies are very good. . And yea I've read the source material, but they're also very long and slow. I'm glad I saw it, but I don't need to watch it again. The Bikeriders: I'll be honest - I write these things at the end of the year, because I want to focus on the feelings of my experience, and not really the plot itself. . .And while I remember enjoying it, I also remember thinking it was very long; but other than that I couldn't give you much else. Blink Twice: Blink Twice covers some rough themes that people don't typically want to think about, but the movie works as a crazy drug induced thriller. There's a decent revenge payoff, and I go home happy. Bob Marley: One Love: No idea how accurate the movie is, but it's a fun ride. Sonic The Hedgehog 3: It's cute, just like the first 2. The story is pretty basic but I appreciate it's the type of movie that is made for kids, but the writers didn't forget that Sonic is a 90s icon, and that its older fans would be watching it too. The Mediocre Movie I Expected it to be Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: It hits a lot of the notes you need a sequel like this to hit, but I also felt like everything was reductive and surface level. We went with the in-laws, who loved it, but I didn't think it was that great. Venom: The Last Dance: Just like Venom 1 and 2 it has its moments - I'm not sure if 2 or 3 is the weaker movie, and I almost certainly will never watch it again, but I don't regret the time. . Or the laughs. It Ends with Us: I might be biased because my wife dragged me to this on the same weekend I dragged her to Borderlands, which maybe artificially props up my feelings of it - But I didn't totally hate it. A Quiet Place: Day One: Is Day One necessary? Probably not. But I think it's definitely a better entry into this mythos than the sequel was. Monkey Man: Indian John Wick. . .It's decent, but nothing I haven't seen before. Longlegs: The movie isn't scary, and it's not really much of a thriller, but it certainly is creepy and Nicholas Cage has always played the weirdo card really well. . .Or that's just who he is. Abigail: It's just fun - There's nothing special about it - The reveal in the end isn't anything interesting, hell the ending itself is confusing with all the back and forth. But there are vampire ballerina kids, and that's just the kind of silliness we need sometimes. Expected More and Left Disappointed MaXXXine: Two years ago X was one of my top movies of the year. And even Pearl with all of its Wizard of Oz whimsy felt like a pretty strong movie. It's not that MaXXXine is a bad movie, I just expected more than a semi-generic horror/thriller. It felt as though the movie itself was written to be its own thing and the X mythos was just tacked onto it before shooting. IF: I don't really know what I was expecting with this one. . .But I always sort of hoped it would be some kind of Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends x Ryan Reynolds movie. It sort of just felt like too much was going on, and not enough was going on. . All at the same time. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire: Afterlife may have been really reductive of previous Ghostbusters movies, but it was enjoyable and fun. Frozen Empire was just flat the entire time and at 2h4m it felt about 45 minutes longer than necessary. The Book of Clarence: I can't quite tell if this movie just wasn't for my particular audience, or if it just wasn't very good. But it felt very long and confusing the entire way through. Imaginary: Generic gimmick horror movie is generic gimmick horror movie. Nothing special, move along. The Watchers: I don't know why I expected more, that's stupid of me. I don't actually hate The Watchers, but I do think the whole ending is kind of stupid. Y2K: I wasn't expecting a masterpiece with this one, but I thought it would be a fun nostalgia trip. I do think the first 20-30 minutes are super solid, but once we start getting into the "AI takes over the world" problem the whole thing sort of just falls apart, and none of the payoff feels earned. Moana 2: The original is a true favorite of mine, but this one feels like it's exclusively for the kids. And that's totally fine, just wasn't for me. Didn't Expect Much, and Got What I Expected The Crow: I've actually never seen the original The Crow [I know] but I typically don't expect much from remakes/reimaginings anyway. There were parts that I "didn't hate" but overall it fell flat for me. Mean Girls: Mean Girls, the Broadway Show, is really good. This entire movie felt flat with a lot of the songs pushed into more monotone registers to makeup for hiring talent that didn't have very high vocal range. . Other than Renee Rapp. I also felt like a lot of the nods to the original movie were done in an "ok fine we have to" way, instead of honoring the source material. The Front Room: I didn't expect much. . Actually I don't know what I was expecting. . .Certainly it wasn't a seemingly ancient woman shitting herself constantly. It felt like The Front Room kept building to something that never paid off. Immaculate: Sydney Sweeny starring in "i'm hot, oh but also I'm a nun that fucked up." The movie has no substance to it and I was grateful when it was over. The only thing saving it from Worst of the Year is just how bad some of those movies are. Worst of the Year Night Swim: I liked the premise of this one and really wanted to like it, but it just felt like it was missing pretty much everything a good horror movie needs. Madame Web: This movie doesn't deserve my thoughts or punctuation Borderlands: I didn't expect Borderlands to be a good movie at all - It's one of my favorite game franchises and I had no hope that Hollywood wouldn't screw it up, but I was at least hoping for something that made sense and might hit the "so bad it's good" point. The movie is just bad, and oddly the one casting choice everyone thought made no sense [Kevin Hart] is the one casting choice that I felt actually worked. Argylle: This may be the worst movie I've ever seen, and I used to make a point to watch some of the worst movies [as reviewed on IMDB] as a fun group activity with friends. At no point in its incoherent rambling did Argylle make any sense, and I wish it would be erased from my brain. Note: At roughly $23/m for the AMC subscription that means I spent about $5/ticket to see each movie. My wife sometimes do buy concessions [sometimes with points, sometimes without], maybe next year I'll track that too, just to see how expensive a hobby this actually is. Movies we will probably see in the next week: Mufasa A Complete Unknown Nosferatu Babygirl submitted by /u/egnards to r/movies [link] [comments]

I miss this 2000s y2k era of makeup. How do I recreate it?
Is it just about bright under eyes, shimmer, glossy lips, Smokey eyes, smudged liner? I tried to do my makeup this way the other day and ended up doing my usual out of muscle memory haha! I was around for this makeup era but that was 15-20 years ago. Any tips or product suggestions? submitted by /u/Superb_Apricot_5624 to r/MakeupAddiction [link] [comments]

AITA for not ‘forcing’ my daughter out of her ‘emo’ phase?
My daughter(13F) is really into the whole ‘emo/y2k’ thing, and I’ve recently let her get some clothes and makeup as she’s asked for it, and she’s been pretty good in grades and chores so far. My husband on the other hand doesn’t like it, as he’s from a strict Christian household, and he sees it as her acting up and ‘worshipping satanic practices’ in his words. I don’t know whether I identify as a Christian anymore, but I’m not as strict as him. He’s been trying to dissuade her and has tried using punishments (no electronics, etc) which haven’t worked. All this has done is just make her more distant from him. I don’t see a problem in her clothes, but my husband has said that I’m putting our daughter on a bad path because I’m ‘encouraging’ her to be defiant. Pretty sure he told my dad and MIL about the situation as those two have messaged me separately about ‘fixing’ my daughter, with my dad saying to put in her one of those Christian summer camps(?) I don’t think I’m TA but I would like outside opinion. AITA? submitted by /u/LalaEars to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I did my makeup to go with this Y2K look and it’s the first cut crease I can say I’m actually proud of!!! I’ve been too scared to try bold looks for awhile, but I think I’m gonna keep trying.
