The 2000s makeup trend has gained inspiration from Korea's early 2000s makeup looks. It has gone viral all over TikTok and other video-sharing platforms. The trend is also called the 10-minute challenge due to the song "10 Minutes" by singer Lee Hyori used in the videos. The 2000s Asian makeup trend focuses on blue eye shadow with glitter look, brown lip-gloss and retro filters while lipsyncing to the song.
