The shimmery fun futurism of the noughties is back! Early 2000s aesthetic had a real moment last year and the trend isn't going anywhere for 2024! Revolution are throwing it back to the new millennium with a brand new collection dedicated to nostalgia. Think frosted pastel shades, lip-smacking glosses and sugary-sweet scents, all encrusted with bling for a sparkling nod to the more-is-more era. Here's how to get the Y2K look...
HOW TO NAIL THE 2000s LOOK
Keep the Eyes Icy
The key to a Y2K eye look? Nostalgic metallics! Icy blues and sparkling silvers dominated the 2000s, and you'll see it everywhere this year. Grab the 00s Angel palette, a seven-pan handbag hero of squishy shadows that make for a buttery, multi-chrome blend on the lids.
Wanting a pop of colour? Opt for bubblegum pink or not-so-shrinking violett shades, courtesy of the Babe Dreamer Forever Flawless palette and the Flip Phone palette – both products will have you looking fly in no time!
Blush, Blush, Blush
Statement blush was incredibly popular in the noughties – Revolution developed two Y2K liquid blushes that are blendable and buildable for a customised wash of nostalgic colour to the cheeks. Go all out withThat's Cute Pink – a bright rose pink, or opt for That's Fly Nude – a universal nude peach.
Frosted Gloss
Nothing says the 00s quite like an ultra glossy lip. Whether used as a topper over a liner and lipstick combo (tip: make your liner a couple of shades deeper for a nostalgic nod), or worn alone for a juicy pop of shine, these bedazzled Sweet Bombs are a surefire staple! There's three, and let's face it, you gotta collect them all... Strawberry Swirl is a nude/mauve, Candyfloss Pink Glitter is a subtle pink and Vanilla Ice White Holo is a clear gloss, all finished with an irresistable Y2K shimmer.
Lock in the Look
The key to keeping your millennium makeover? Prime and set! The Y2K collection has two products we just know will be your new staples...
The first step in your routine has to be the Hydra Bubble Primer, a skincare-powered prepping product with pearlescent micro shimmer balls for the ultimate glowy base!
Supercharged with hyaluronic acid, vegan collagen, vitamin E and niacinamide, this serum-primer hybrid works hard to help maintain healthy skin while the tacky base works to ensure your complexion products last longer.
And to lock in your base? It's all about cherry bake – the sweetest setting powder you'll ever use! A cherry pink finely milled powder ideal for setting or touching up for a long-lasting base, Cherry Bake comes with *cutest* heart-shaped powder puff with bubblegum pink ribbon handle – perfect for fitting into the contours of your face for smooth and precise application.
