Gen-Zer Sofia Richie Grainge has given millennials a very unwelcome blast from the past after reviving the much-despised “concealer lips” trend from the early 2000s in a recent makeup tutorial.
The quiet luxurious it-girl shared with followers how to achieve what she described as the perfect “pumpkin spice” lip in a TikTok video last week, in which she applied a little bit of concealer to the center of her lower lip for an ombré effect after applying some color.
But while Richie described the addition of concealer as the “cherry on top” of the look, millennial TikTok users were quick to speak out against the return of that particular makeup technique, with some even going so far as to beg others to adopt it to be avoided altogether. cost.
“Millennials – it’s happening,” content creator Isabel Clancy hilariously wrote reaction video to Richie yesterday, showing off her wearing a striking nude lip filter.

Some TikTok users were shocked by the concealer lip, a trend in the early 2000s, like Isabel Clancy
Clancy often makes cheeky videos that reference the cringe-y styles of the early 2000s, which include not only concealer lips but also retro looks like bubble tops, Bermuda shorts and unblended hair extensions.
In the comments section of Clancy’s video, many users agreed with her hysterical plea.
“Forgive them, they don’t know what they’re doing,” one person joked.
Another agreed, typing: ‘I was going to pluck my eyebrows in preparation but they haven’t grown back since 2000… grab your iron, throw away the straightener… it’s time.’
“She looked like Mariah Carey thawing out for Christmas…we’re back baby,” someone else wrote.
‘No.’ one user complained. ‘We’ve done this before. We don’t have to do it again.’
In the early 2000s, using concealer instead of real lipstick or gloss, or using a similar color, was a huge trend, with millennials storming the clubs and even the office with a seriously nude lip.
Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian also followed the trend at the time and once revealed that the MAC Cosmetics lipstick in the light pink-nude shade ‘Angel’ was one of her favorites.
Many millennials on TikTok couldn’t believe this “concealer lip” trend was making its way back into the mainstream
In the comments section of Clancy’s video, many joked about the concealer lip trend and how it’s making a comeback
In the early 2000s, some celebrities, such as Paris Hilton, sported the “concealer lip” trend, sometimes using the actual product or lip products that looked exactly like it.
However, it seems Clancy wasn’t the only one who had something to say about the “new” craze.
TikTok user Aria also weighed in on the concealer lips, stitching an article on Richie’s tutorial titled, “Sofia Richie Grainge just brought back the concealer lips, and it’s actually really chic.”
‘No, that’s not it!’ she exclaimed in response. ‘We won’t do this again. Keep scrolling, thank you.’
Popular creator Erin Molenaar included the same article in her satire clip, tears streaming down her face while wearing a gray hoodie.
“Stop this madness,” she wrote in the caption.
Another user, Amanda Ahlersalso stitched Richie’s video, jokingly smearing a dab of concealer over her lips.
“Mmmmm, that’s the good thing,” she declared playfully as she rubbed her camouflaged pout together, showing off some very early glamour.
Sara, known as @watersignsarah on the social media platform, she even posted a throwback photo of her once wearing the concealer look, complete with side bangs and a huge smile.
She accompanied the photo with the band Linkin Park’s popular 2003 song, “Numb.”

Snooki, also known as Nicole Elizabeth Polizzi, wore the concealer lip trend on a red carpet in 2010, just as the style was falling out of trend.
Millennials might want to watch out, because concealer lips aren’t the early 2000s beauty trend that’s been making a comeback lately.
At the 2023 iHeartRadio Awards in Los Angeles, singer Doja Cat sported some extremely thin eyebrows, per StyleCaster.
They were reminiscent of some early 21st century looks previously worn by celebrities like Paris Hilton and Sofia’s sibling, Nicole Richie.
“I was inspired by the cool, relaxed feel of Doja’s outfit and wanted the makeup to counter that,” Doja’s makeup artist, Ernesto Casillas, said in a statement to the outlet at the time.
At this year’s Paris Fashion Week, “Baywatch” bombshell Pamela Anderson’s “no makeup-makeup” performance also included skinny eyebrows.
Darker, visible lip liner has also appeared recently, explained by L’Officiel which was once a popular look.
A-listers like Mariah Carey and Beyoncé have worn the lip before, and it was recently demonstrated by Hailey Bieber in a TikTok video she posted in August.
