8 Bad Beauty Trends We All Tried in the 2000s — and Chic Ways to Wear Them in 2016

We rocked this '90s holdover trend in an attempt to make our lips look poutier, but in retrospect, we looked like we forgot to put lipstick on. Even the superstylish Rihanna fell victim to this look in 2005.

Using a lip pencil one to two shades darker than your natural lip color (or desired lipstick), carefully sketch just outside your lip line. Vlogger and beauty brand owner Huda Kattan recommends lightly blotting afterwards to make it look even more seamless. Try Huda Beauty Lip Contour ($19); its very blendable formula makes it exceptionally easy to apply.

We're not sure if low-quality brushes or chalky powder blushes were to blame, but it seemed like we all wore patches of pink on our cheeks in the early aughts. Seen here is a particularly flushed Scarlett Johansson in 2003.

Draping uses a technique that is similar to contouring, but utilizes a vibrant blush in lieu of a gray-brown hue. Try using a soft, angled brush like Marc Jacobs Beauty Angled Blush Brush No. 10 ($38) to buff out vibrant pigment. Blending is key for this look and will make you look sculpted instead of feverish.

In 2000, Christina Aguilera (and most women!) plucked their eyebrows into oblivion. Thanks to magical potions like Latisse and Revitabrow, we were able to restore our anemic arches back to a fuller style.

If you're still after slim arches, consider using brow stencils like these from Anastasia Beverly Hills ($20). They'll act as a guide and help you from going rogue with your tweezer.

At the 2002 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, Hilary Duff sported rhinestone-encrusted chopsticks in her hair. We loved these accessories back in the day, along with butterfly clips and stretch combs, but we're leaving this look in the past. Not only is it obviously 2000 and late, it's weird. After all, who other than Ariel has put an eating utensil in her hair?

This crystal fan pin from Chloe + Isabel ($32) functions similarly to chopsticks, but is far more elegant. Celebrity stylist Jen Atkin designed the piece, so you know it's chic!

We can't blame Britney for slathering her skin in glitter for the 2000 American Music Awards. This kind of product looks pretty rad when worn during an onstage performance. These days, though, we prefer more of a luminous, lit-from-within look.

The powers of superfine shimmer and deep hydration unite in this Tom Ford body oil ($98). Instead of a glittery sheen, you'll give off a sexy glow. Bonus: you'll smell like an expensive oceanfront spa.

It's hard to admit it, but many of us had stark, two-toned hair color like Beyoncé did for the 2003 Golden Globes. This isn't even the most severe version of the look. Avril Lavigne (and her fans!) tried a platinum blond top layer with black strands underneath during this time period.

This style incorporates the multitonal look of dip-dyed hair, but makes it sophisticated for 2016. Plus, it requires no maintenance because it fades beautifully. Lazy girls only need to visit the salon once to achieve the look, then can skip out on color appointments for at least six months. Learn more about balayage here.

Paris Hilton can tell you that when it came to lips in 2004, shinier was better. That meant a high-frost, high-gloss formula was a necessity in every tiny purse.

Frosty puckers have made a comeback, but only via today's matte lip trend, which shows no signs of fading anytime soon. By encapsulating shimmer in a flat-finish formula, you'll achieve a lip that looks more futuristic than dated. Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Solano ($20) is a glimmering matte rose gold that would stun on a variety of skin tones.

Mariah Carey showed off her love of butterflies in 2003 with this colorful rhinestone stick-on tattoo. While this trend was definitely a fun way to flaunt some extra bling, we were always discouraged by how easily the crystals seemed to fall off, making the design unrecognizable. The sticky residue it left behind wasn't too pleasant, either.

You still get to wear sparkly (and temporary!) body art, but Flash Tattoos are a little more timely. Plus, they won't snag on your clothing.
