Nostalgia strikes again with Y2K being the new go-to beauty aesthetic.

From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/gossip-girl-reboot-breaks-hbo-max-streaming-records" target="_blank" rel="noopener">television reboots</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bedazzled-y2k-trend-rhinestones-celebrity-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rhinestone-embedded looks</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/top-beauty-trend-by-decade-makeup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Y2K</a> aesthetics are without a doubt at the forefront of our popular culture&mdash;and beauty trends are no exception. While the resurgence of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/y2k-revival-covid-19-pandemic-tiktok-gen-z-fashion-music-film-tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nostalgia culture</a> isn't a particularly new phenomenon, the optimism during this early technological age allowed for experimental, borderline futuristic looks that perfectly align with today's values. Black culture also served in popularizing familiar beauty trends with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/girl-groups-throughout-history-tlc-destinys-child" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Destiny's Child</a> making waves in both the fashion and beauty sector.&nbsp;
Thanks to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/generation-z-spends-most-on-skincare-study-tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gen Z</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/high-fashion-designers-tiktok-gen-z-charli-damelio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tik Tok</a>, old-time favorites such as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/colorful-mascara-spring-2021-makeup-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">colorful eyes</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/butterfly-hair-clips-trend-celebrities-instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">butterfly clips</a> are given a modern redux to fit today's tastes, while intentional razor-thin <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/designer-runway-beauty-trends-eyebrows-brow-slits-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brows</a> will hopefully stay in the backburner.&nbsp;Here, L'OFFICIEL shares our favorite beauty moments fueled by nostalgia.&nbsp;
