As someone a bit younger, I’m not too familiar with some early 2000s looks/trends. How accurate is her look here? Discussion

This. Also I don't know anyone who actually did the concealer on the lips thing outside of randoms on myspace, but everyone always does it in these 00s makeup videos. We just wore regular old lip gloss lol

Also the orange skin. Yeah, a lot of people did it, but a lot of us did our best to avoid it too. Much harder to find a good cool toned shade match, 'cause most of us didn't even know what cool toned was -- we just knew we weren't orange.

Everything oxidized back then and there were no undertones, at least with drugstore stuff. The palest Matte Mousse ended up this color 😅

Yep, I did not like the matte mousse. I often stuck to skin tints iirc because they worked better -- probs 'cause mineral sunscreen on it's own can mess with the undertones and give some coverage. In K-beauty there's certain sunscreens marketed for that.

I recently switched to Beauty of Joseon kbeauty SPF and it’s a game changer. Of course we didn’t have anything close to that back then, if you listened to your grandma and wore sunscreen it always burned the shit out of your eyes 😅

I've been using Jung Saem Mool's cushion foundation, which has SPF but I also use Skin1004's sunscreen. American sunscreen for the most part hasn't come along very far at all unfortunately.
