Britney did it. Christina did it. Hilary Duff did it a la Lizzie McGuire... We're talking about crimping, of course. It was a flashback to the 80s at the time, and now almost two decades later, we're doing a flashback to the 00s version. The key to pulling it off today is to incorporate subtle, strategically-placed crimped pieces.
We'll forever be a fan of neutral blacks, browns, and taupes, but people in the 00s weren't afraid of a little colored eyeliner — and we say, bring back the trend. The splash of color can elevate your entire look, and you can even choose colors that make your eyes pop. We're especially loving this peacock, metallic blue/green from Urban Decay.
Scent is a powerful thing, and you'll be instantly transported back to the early aughts with a spritz of one of Britney Spears' many fragrances that launched during the decade. We're partial to Curious, which was introduced in 2004, for its for its flowery-feminine scent, the timeless packaging, and the award-worthy ad that accompanied its debut.
Yup, the French manicure is back in full-force after a ~20 year hiatus. It's pretty easy to recreate this one yourself with some nail stickers, white nail polish, and pink polish. For a super quick, non-fussy French mani you could also try Kiss Everlasting French Nails.
The 90s had their brown-leaning lipstick hues, but the '00s really embraced a spectrum from dusty rose to brick red. Charlotte Tilbury's Stoned Rose is a beautiful dusty, coral-leaning hue with a creamy finish. It's not quite like the super-glossy lips we saw in the aughts, but it's its own, beautifully updated version.
