Bebot Makeup: Y2K Glossy Glam Returns
14 Feb
Summary
- Bebot makeup blends 2000s club glam with modern confidence.
- The look features matte skin, smoky eyes, thin brows, and glossy lips.
- The trend is inspired by Black Eyed Peas' song celebrating Filipino heritage.
A new makeup trend, dubbed 'Bebot,' is making waves online, channeling the dramatic and glossy aesthetics of early-2000s club glam and Y2K fashion. This bold look contrasts with today's prevailing minimalist trends, offering a fresh take on makeup.
The core of the Bebot aesthetic is sultry and nostalgic, blending 2000s club glamour with contemporary confidence. It is characterized by softly matte skin, smoky, cool-toned eyes, sharp thin brows, and signature glossy pink lips. This style prioritizes drama and definition over a natural appearance.
The trend originates from the Black Eyed Peas' 2005 song 'Bebot,' a tribute to Filipino heritage performed in Filipino. The music video captured the essence of 2000s glamour, inspiring current creators on TikTok and Instagram reels to recreate the makeup seen.
Creators are embracing the Bebot look for its distinctiveness from the 'clean girl' aesthetic, appreciating its embrace of sharp liners and frosty highlights. It also celebrates 'morena' skin tones, enhancing natural warmth rather than obscuring it.
Achieving the Bebot look involves smoky, cool-toned eyes using silver or grey shadows, smudged eyeliner, sharply defined thin brows, softly matte skin with minimal blush and bronzer, and intensely glossy pink lips.
