Anyone who has watched Hulu's Tell Me Lies knows that the drama is nothing short of an emotional roller coaster. The drama series follows college students Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White) and the turmoil they cause when they meet during Lucy's freshman year. It's a master class in what not to do in a relationship filled with cheating, scandal, and, of course, lies. But in between the drama, there are moments of Y2K beauty, as this editor takes us on a trip down memory lane.

During Season 2 (which just ended on October 16), Lucy returns to the fictional Baird College for her sophomore year. The year is 2008, Flo Rida's “Low” is the number one song of the year, and low-rise jeans are the biggest denim trend. Her dangerously low-rise pants and layered cami take me back to my own shabby fashion choices of the early decade, but when I focus on her beauty, the story is quite different. [Jenny Lynn and Caprice Green, who head the makeup and hair departments of Tell Me Lies, respectively, are perfectly in tune with the beauty trends of the 2000s. From Britney Spears-esque crimped hair to party makeup with black eyeliner and shimmery eyeshadow, her beauty looks are as iconic of the 2000s as flip phones and MTV, but they make you wonder why we've moved on. It makes me wonder why we've moved on. I'm so obsessed, I'm thinking of recreating some of Lucy's looks myself.

From Christina Aguilera to Britney Spears to Lizzie McGuire, the style icons of the 2000s ushered in the era of crimped, not straight or curly, hairstyles. This in-between hairstyle had us all reaching for straight perms (and cramping our wrists in the process) to create zigzag waves. Lucy often goes out with this hairstyle, but you can easily recreate it at home with a three-strand weber.

For those of us who grew up in the 2000s, Avril Lavigne and Hayley Williams were the blueprint for eye makeup. Emo culture flourished during this era, and black eyeliner was a staple in makeup pouches everywhere. As befitting the era, Lucy's eyeliner is thick and smudged. Her warped tour-specific makeup is waterproof, glides on easily, and can be achieved with a particularly creamy formula of eyeliner for waterline.

In the 2000s, there wasn't a red carpet celebrity who didn't wear glittery eyeshadow. Today, the trend can be found in a variety of shades. In its heyday, bright silver and white were the norm.

In Britney Spears' Halloween costume, Lucy wore more Y2K beauty trends than she could count. Lucy sported more Y2K beauty trends than we could count: silver smokey eyes, side-swept bangs, crimped hair, baby braids, and lots of eyeliner. You don't have to go all out like she did to get the nostalgic look. Just put a shimmery liquid or cream eyeshadow all over your eyelids and call it a day.

Brown lipstick was a makeup trend in the 90s that celebrities wore repeatedly, but in the early 00s, the trend shifted to a more feminine and muted shade, pale pink. Whether it was a shimmery matte lip or an ultra-shiny gloss, there is no denying that it was the shade of the decade.

Lucy wears mostly baby pink matte, almost chalky shades, though she occasionally wears a sticky pink gloss. Whichever she prefers, the key to recreating her barely-there lip is a pale shade of pink.
