The 2000s were an exciting time. The arrival of a new millennium meant the rise of teen stars like the Olsen twins, Paris Hilton and Mischa Barton. Not only were they a strong influence on our fashion (cargo pants, anyone?), but also gave us some pretty great beauty moments. Follow the steps below to get your 2000s look!

Step One

Sun kissed skin was a must have in this era. Exfoliate your face gently to get rid of dry spots. Smoothen a self-tanner evenly across your face, while taking care to avoid your hairline and eye area. Wait for a few hours, and you will get gorgeous, tanned skin.

Step Two

Tanned skin can look dull and flat. Get your gleam on with a liquid highlighter! Swipe it on your cheekbones, cupid’s bow and down the bridge of your nose.

Step Three

Forget eye shadow, this period was all about eye gloss! Distribute a small amount of eye gloss on to your eye lids. If a clear gloss seems too unexciting, you can go for a tinted formula.

Step Four

Line your upper and lower waterline with a black eye liner. Keep the line thin and precise.
