Y2K Beauty Is Back and Better Than Ever

No low-rise jeans or baby tees required.

The Y2K era was a very bronze time for both faces and bodies. This cruelty-free, gel-based shimmering body liquid delivers a tint of color and shine thanks to light-diffusing micropearls. Don't worry, not one of the shades ever reads orange.

Micro sparkle? No way! We had no qualms about using chunky glitter in the early aughts. This liquid eyeshadow has a striking sequin effect, but unlike older formulas, it delivers sparkle without scratchiness via its water-based, whipped formula and nourishing ingredients. Think jojoba seed oil and sweet almond oil. Dab it on cheekbones or use it as a lip topper.

This wet-look gloss was a staple in every Y2K makeup bag. In fact, the relaunch of the cushiony glosses last year helped spark the millennium beauty comeback. There are shades for every mood, from a glass-like clear version to sparkly ones.
