These 2010s Celebrity Makeup Moments Will Make You Instantly Nostalgic

Nothing gets us in our feels quite like revisiting nostalgic beauty moments, especially those so iconic they'll never be forgotten. The 2010s were an exciting time for pop culture, fashion, and beauty as a whole, with makeup being no exception. The red carpet was buzzing with celebrities who were all about self-expression and then some, from the glitter of Kesha's early days to the bold beauty of 2016 .

Where there's smoke, there's fire, and Rihanna checked every box with her sizzling makeup look for the CFDA Awards in 2014. Contrasting her smoky eye , deep gray hues, and black liner, her skin was sculpted and glowing to the max. Soft, barely there pink lip gloss tied the whole look together. It's safe to say we think about this look every time we pull out our most dramatic eyeshadow palettes.

Taylor Swift is no stranger to a red lip . We've seen her wear this signature style for well over a decade, and this classic statement from the 2010 Grammys marks an earlier, more subtle rendition. Paired with shimmering lids and some false eyelashes, this timeless makeup look transcends current trends.

Mod makeup meets highlighted skin in this makeup look from Hailey Bieber . The cat eye, shimmering rosy highlight, and pastel pink lips make a statement that all beauty enthusiasts can appreciate. When applying highlighter on your brow bones and cheeks, start slowly and layer the product as you go to create a glow that lasts.

Zendaya never disappoints on the red carpet, and this versatile soft glam look from the 2015 Oscars remains incredibly popular today. Thanks to the subtle contrast of the smokier eye and softer lip, the magic of this makeup look speaks for itself.

In this unforgettably colorful red carpet moment from the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, Katy Perry stood out in electric shades of pink, blue, and yellow. This hot pink lip stirred a collective desire to play with vibrant colors that otherwise might be out of our comfort zone, and the multicolored graphic liner look only adds to the fun. Also, we'd be remiss not to pay our respects to that iconic blue wig.
