I can't remember who pointed out and where, but they made the connection between drag makeup and 2016 TH-cam makeup being basically an equal sign. All these extra steps - baking, contouring, the bold eyes, the big lashes, the beam to outer space highlighter are all drag/stage makeup techniques.
Jackie has moved on a bit, mainly just softening everything up. Tbf, she also knew WHY she was doing all those steps/how to do it properly instead of just doing it b/c it's what you're supposed to do (b/c she actually like... Knows how to do makeup, not just the 2016 insta makeup)@@zantaspassion1279
tbh i say ignore wether it's "making a comeback" or not, just do whatever makeup style you love, i mean who to say we have to depend on whatever trend tiktok picks up? i do early 90s makeup like every day i go out even though i don't see it being viral or anything cuz honestly who cares! you go girl!
Right I'm still rocking funky eye shadow and Idgaf. I was picking up a lip liner and a woman working on the nyx counter told me she loved my eye shadow (I was the nicest duochrome) and said it was nice to see someone wearing colour because the clean girl look is cool but its kinda boring and I just laughed but kinda agreed. We can be so creative with make up and everyone doing the same trend takes the creativity out of it
Exactly! I only wear black. Nothing else ever. So I want my eyeshadow to be more colorful, to use colors that suit me that way. I don’t care if it’s on trend or not. Everyone else already looks like everyone else. We should do what we like.
I’ve always used a mix of 2016 techniques and today’s and it’s absolutely the way to go! 2016 eyeshadow but just mascara, no fake lashes,medium coverage foundation with a satin finish, beaming highlight but underneath blush, well blended contour with an actual contour shade, natural, full and neat brows but never brushed up or carved, well blended bronzer to mimic a tan and well blended blush and light bake only on tzone never to set under eye concealer and very little concealer to begin with only on darkest part of eye circles. I like all lip products too but usually glossy over matte.
You forgot the inne corner highlight! It was a staple! Lol But honestly, the feels. I miss this. A good old, nostalgic make-up tutorial, and long format video. Loved this Darcy!
2016 was when I first started getting really into makeup, and to this day the insane amount of highighter has me in a chokehold. You won't catch me without it.
literally same, I think it was just two weeks ago. I was watching a different TH-cam video where the girl was making fun of people who still do a lot of highlighter, and I was like, wait that’s me!! Apparently people say it’s cringe now but IDGAFFF 😂🫶🏻
This era was crazy, but honestly i think doing the eyes (maybe the brows too) might be a good tip for me. Looks easier to correct without having to replace the foundation plus they're the hardest part. Glad you're back!!
Omg Darcie should totally try replicating Park Bom's 2011/2012 stage makeup, it's so different from kpop stage makeup nowadays! I think Darcie could rock it! ❤❤
Omg the rose eyeshadow is such a nostalgic throwback for me lol. Every eyeshadow palette back then was rose gold or pink. Honestly rose gold is still king but more subtle than that. I think the stress of pandemic as well as prioritizing mental health, skincare, and healing, makeup and clothes are more simple and minimal looking. I am in the middle, I love that we don’t have to try as hard and can embrace our skin, but dressing up is fun and it’s boring to only wear sweatpants and moisturizer all the time
I remember watching so many videos like this in 2016! People got really creative and I was EATING IT UP! Do I wear makeup? No, just lipstick mostly. 🤣 but thats why I love your long form make up videos!
The beauty of not jumping on the trends is that once I learned how to do that makeup around that time I never changed it drastically, so I still do my face like that. Love my glam and would never turn to delicate "clean" version.
Yes!! I still do dramatic eyes but have always worn my face makeup more natural looking! I have TOO MANY eyeshadow palettes that I refuse to let go to waste so I never participated in the eye makeup of today which is basically nothing 😅
8 years later and no joke, I still do the 2016 brows up until now because that what suits me the best. Make up should be fun, feel free to wear 2016 make up at 2024, or the next year, or the next! Doesn't matter as long as you're happy with your look. You slay ♥️
Watching this was a full on flash back. I was transported to my sophomore year of college Definitely enjoyed this. I hope 2016 makeup sticks around for a while. It was fun.
it was this 2016 style makeup that made Vogue beauty serets videos so interesting to watch. Nowadays its soo boring cz everyone there does simple minimal makeup
What? 2016 was Just as boring because everyone used the same viral products and techniques like Kim K contour and baking, cutcreases and overdrawn Kylie lips. The interesting thing was if they used normal amounts of product with proper tools or if they dripped it on and applied it with a shoe or kitchen sponge.
Damn this makeup look was so iconic it represented a whole generation. All the products too, holy shit I feel like I've been transported back in time. My only gripe was the absence of a liquid lipstick and the potato head at the beginning😂 It would be my go to look for when the hottest tea is being spilt (just for the memories). But alas my favourite look is the no makeup makeup look, literally. Anyway, makeup styles may have changed but Darcei's still snatched whether it's the rOmAnTiC eyeshadow or the black lipstick, slay kween.
I'mma pretend that I wasn't already procrastinating on work and say I dropped everything when the notif popped up lol. Pretty sure I would have either way bc I love your videos!
She's back! Making long form content! Yaaaay! Missed your "brows" song tho. LoL. I must say the only trend from 2016 I use is the brows because I have none. LOL. And eye color sometimes but rarely cut crease. Other than that I'm team natural makeup.
Darcei did 2016 makeup justice!!! Missed her longer formed videos 😁💜 I almost always seem to do glam makeup when I do my makeup because it's fun to! I personally love glitter and do a glittery eye look a lot anyways even if it took a few hours you did great and look fabulous!
I didn't do this kind of makeup during that time, but I saw how everyone else was doing it, and it brought back so many memories I do a few of these sort of techniques in my makeup that I do today (more on the emo side of things as well) so I guess I didn't quite escape the 10s unscathed, lol Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
I am so thrilled to have you make long videos again. You have such a fantastic sense of humor that makes your videos so much fun to watch. Please continue to make more content! ❤
I do hope 2016 makeup will come back ! Was 12 at that time (and we didn't run to sephora to destroy testers) and sure hope i can cut the crease out of my lids just to buy some apple filled beignets ✨
Oh this got me in the feels!!! Those loud music in the intro with transitions, that subcribe button that use to be in the intro along with press the bell icon, that bright colourful bg oh and especially that 'bokeh' bg ifykyk😭😭😭 Ahh those good old days
i so want 2016 makeup to come back. that was when watching makeup tutorials was fun. personally i can never take that much makeup cause im 32 and my skin is showing it. but i would love to see girls around me all caked up and dolled up
Miss Darcei, you are a joy to watch and crack me up. I was never one to wear much makeup, only now in my mid 50's am I even making an effort. Your video's and joy make me smile.
I needed this video so much today! Thank you for always being a source of light and humor in this messed up world. I love you and your content, thank you!
I remember watching ppl apply contour + bronzer; could never understand why. I've learned contour should pull grey to create a shadow and bronzer mimics a tan...but never understood needing both lol!!! Still looked good though!
omg the flashbacks!! i cant! This is soo goood. You either had a more natural colour lip or you were going at it with different tones of red. Highlighter was everything and when fenty beauty came out, u better be the new disco ball in the club or u didn't use enough highlighter
I miss your TH-cam videos where you tried to follow Korean makeup’s 🥹🥹 Also 1K steps skin care routine of celebs… you were my biggest hope during lockdown.. please please please do more videos ❤️
I definitely cannot imagine doing this kind of look for everyday again. But it might be fun to bring back for a date night, with some present-day touches like gloss, blush, and not covering my freckles.
Idk how you're going to take this but you always remind me of the character Raven from That's so Raven (SUPER complimentary). The way you react to things and your thought processes being outwardly personified is something I really enjoy
You look super adorable although yes, I do agree a whole lot less chin contour for present day, and I miss a bold lip! You do a modern day make up look. My girls are wearing the colors of sunset, corals and hot, pink and orange and my gown is ivory with a peachy pink underlay. I would love to see a pretty make up look that does not have a nude lip please! ❤
I can't remember who pointed out and where, but they made the connection between drag makeup and 2016 TH-cam makeup being basically an equal sign. All these extra steps - baking, contouring, the bold eyes, the big lashes, the beam to outer space highlighter are all drag/stage makeup techniques.
It was definitely drag style makeup but I think the Kardashians made it popular for everyone to do.
I'm ready for the "natural look" to come back. Lol
This was said a lot back in 2016 as well. The “instagram” makeup look
it is a drag make up. if you look at any drag make up tutorial, it all has the same step and exaggeration to the make up
Is it bad that I still sometimes catch myself doing 2016-18 drag tutorial techniques 💀
@@benamisai-kham5892 NO! If they work for you and you enjoy the end result, then keep going
The way Nikkie Tutorials never strayed from this era 😌 the queen of consistency 🫡
Same! I never left it lol
Jackie Aina too
Jackie has moved on a bit, mainly just softening everything up. Tbf, she also knew WHY she was doing all those steps/how to do it properly instead of just doing it b/c it's what you're supposed to do (b/c she actually like... Knows how to do makeup, not just the 2016 insta makeup)@@zantaspassion1279
Some people can't pull off thenatural girl look😏
That is because it is really similar to drag makeup and Nikki is trans. Makes sense.
SHE CAME BACK WHEN WORLD NEEDED HER THE MOST💅

Tbh I think the only reason "clean girl" got popular is because people were copying folks who just do bare minimum for work lol
Yes, I barely do trends.
Exactly! I only wear black. Nothing else ever. So I want my eyeshadow to be more colorful, to use colors that suit me that way. I don’t care if it’s on trend or not. Everyone else already looks like everyone else. We should do what we like.

I still happy with that fake tipsy japanese makeup with blushes everywhere, even when the trend is already dead in its origin country 😅
@@stefaniratu6439 yeah you should wear whatever you like best!
@@stefaniratu6439 yess Igari makeup 4ever
OMG I have been doing the same 😄
your black lips pic look sooo good, you have a versatile facial features so i think you suits both soft and bold makeup look
8 months later and you FINALLY posted a long video ty❤
Because it took so long to finish this look 😂
EIGHT YEARS????
Yessssss😢
In two years it's gonna be 10
2016 me: first grade 6 years old
2016 me 11th grade 16 years old
Ikr? I was 13 back then lmao
Ikr😭✋🏻

But honestly, the feels. I miss this. A good old, nostalgic make-up tutorial, and long format video. Loved this Darcy!
They will never take that inner corner highlight from me! 😂
Live and die for inner corner highlight
@@kmak4861 Yessssss!, also a little touch on the browbone, under the arch to highlight that arch.
And when you use an orange/red highlight, it looks like someone's trying to snipe your eyes off
It’s been brought back again I’ve noticed. Comes and goes.
2016 was when I first started getting really into makeup, and to this day the insane amount of highighter has me in a chokehold. You won't catch me without it.

honestly the amount of people i see who say they don’t use highlighter shock me I cannot go a day without using loads of it
@@janeyxeve yes, I can't imagine not wanting my cheekbones to glow like the sun. They're missing out lol.
@@amayalaurenb They can pry my highlighter collection out of my cold dead hands
@@mkg2124this made me laugh out loud. Thank you!!! Relatable 😂
I dont believe that you are finally doing a long video!!
Omggg fr it’s been so long
She’s been doing it for 4 years
@@Pumpkinhead6661 yes,I know, I just said that because she took many months to do a long-type of video and was just making shorts.
The lack of any blush from this era is killing me 😭😭😭
This era was crazy, but honestly i think doing the eyes (maybe the brows too) might be a good tip for me. Looks easier to correct without having to replace the foundation plus they're the hardest part.
Glad you're back!!
editing, visuals, humor, nostaligia, details...all on point.
Omg Darcie should totally try replicating Park Bom's 2011/2012 stage makeup, it's so different from kpop stage makeup nowadays! I think Darcie could rock it! ❤❤

We were happier & the world wasn’t shit yet😂😅
I know and expect the hate but I loved the Anastasia brow. The 90s took my brows and it just brought out so many products I had wished for for years.
Yaaas!! .. lol I've been looking so surprised since 1992... Now I'm old & surprised 😂😂
The beauty of not jumping on the trends is that once I learned how to do that makeup around that time I never changed it drastically, so I still do my face like that. Love my glam and would never turn to delicate "clean" version.
I do 2016 eyes with the clean girl look today. I love light or no foundation with colorful dramatic eyes with lots of dark eyeliner. ❤
Yes!! I still do dramatic eyes but have always worn my face makeup more natural looking! I have TOO MANY eyeshadow palettes that I refuse to let go to waste so I never participated in the eye makeup of today which is basically nothing 😅
I did the opposite lol 😂😂😂😂😂
Same here! I like a natural, skin-like complexion with dramatic eyes
@@karishmadesai1408Same!
I've missed your long videos!! This was well needed thank you Darcy

Ahhhhh omg i love you!!! Its crazy how 2016 is a whole makeup style 😂
I was just 13 in 2016. Didn't know anything about makeup at that time. But it seems so fun and colourful, especially the eye looks.
ok but that black eye and black lip look was choice, you should do a tutorial for it i want to do it !!!!

Ugh the best best best Yass I’m here for bringing back those glam days
SHES RETURNED ❤❤❤❤
Finally!!!! Long form! I've been binge watching... for awhile 😂
Ah out she finally posted a full video! I’ve been watching them all on repeat and I’ve been so bored Ty darcei and we’d all love more of these!
You mean to tell me that by the time I finally mastered the make-up, it went out of fashion AND is coming back again? Girl.
Miss Darcei, you are a joy to watch and crack me up. I was never one to wear much makeup, only now in my mid 50's am I even making an effort. Your video's and joy make me smile.
2016 eye makeup was epic definitely made heads turn and girls ask what palette you used 😂

You're back! Really missed your long videos!!
And god I could not sit for two hours doing makeup LOL so living through your video ty 🙏

Hope you're doing better now
@@jjphillips6292 Oh yes, definitely. Thank you!
You crack me up! Super enjoyed this! I wanna bring it backkk but I just don’t wanna do 2 hours of makeup again
If I saw the result as a picture I would've thought it was literally from 2016, people nowadays have been recreating it but no one did it like you.
I love clean natural make up, and youre such a beauty you can do every make up and look perfect ❤
the lack of brow song is killing me
Ngl this would make a BOMB Valentine’s Day look!
" 2016 was 8 YeARs AgO " 😂😂😂

Denitslava my boo❤❤
Anyone here in 2025?
By God’s grace
I hope this make up comes back. You look amazing. Minus the highlighter I would have this as my everyday look.
People don't do it anymore, because it takes time .
Nobody asked.
I miss your TH-cam videos where you tried to follow Korean makeup’s 🥹🥹
Also 1K steps skin care routine of celebs… you were my biggest hope during lockdown.. please please please do more videos ❤️
I definitely cannot imagine doing this kind of look for everyday again. But it might be fun to bring back for a date night, with some present-day touches like gloss, blush, and not covering my freckles.
It’s time for a 2016 makeup revival. Love this!
the iconic cute soundtrack
the OG ending I'm dead! I love you soo sooo sooo much girl please post more
The best you looked in all vids that I’ve watched so far.
So glad you made a new long video! I binge your long ones all the time ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been needing to find a lit mua that isn’t in any drama, love the energy definitely subbing
Idk how you're going to take this but you always remind me of the character Raven from That's so Raven (SUPER complimentary). The way you react to things and your thought processes being outwardly personified is something I really enjoy
Darcei !!!! Have you tried ; Nars blush in the shade Taj Mahal ?
- it’s an orange blush btw 🧡
I loved 2016 makeup! I still do this every time I do my makeup. (not very often) but definitely my go to!!!✨
the old purpleee look was everythinggg
In 2016, everyone was ready to be invited to the best Nigerian wedding. Makeup was full coverage but snatched.
My sister still does 2016 brows and honestly, I admire her consistency.
You look super adorable although yes, I do agree a whole lot less chin contour for present day, and I miss a bold lip! You do a modern day make up look.

Looks great. I don’t see how we aged out of this look. I love it so much.
