May your days be merry, bright, and awash in glitter like it’s 1999. The Y2K redux is here and ready to make a splash on the holiday party scene. The way makeup artist Marcelo Gutierrez sees it, there’s no time like the present to return to—and reimagine!—the brazen shine and shimmer of the early noughties. “We’re living in a time where the world feels a little bit harsh; Y2K was a freer, more experimental time,” muses Gutierrez. “There’s no better time than the holidays to revisit a time very much oriented in party and youth.”
Amid the rise of the Internet, the early 2000s ushered in a cyber-inflected beauty aesthetic that, two decades later, Gen Z can’t get enough of. “I feel that the way the younger generation is reinterpreting the era is through its colors and textures: metallics, glitters, and an array of pastels you see reflecting off of a CD,” explains Gutierrez.
To help you ring in the season—and populate your makeup mood board—Gutierrez is putting a Y2K-inspired twist on wintertime glamour with models Jazzelle Zanaughtti, Jordan Daniels, and Simona Kunst. There are metallic lips, frosted complexions, holographic lids, and bejeweled eyebrows that catch the light and reflect it back in all the right ways. “All these looks carry a sense of playfulness and exploration,” says Gutierrez. “I love makeup that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Below, four holiday makeup looks for putting your best party face forward—the Y2K way.
