Nostalgia for early-2000s beauty is sweeping TikTok once again. Recently, the platform has been buzzing over L’Oreal’s Ballerina Shoes — a frosty pink lipstick that’s flying off shelves.

Frosted lips, a signature look of the late ’90s and early ’00s favored by style icons like Kate Moss and Paris Hilton, are making a comeback. Characterized by their pearlescent sheen, shades range from soft baby pinks to experimental icy golds and lavenders. Back then, the look was effortlessly glamorous; today, it sparks mixed reactions.
As expected on TikTok, the trend has become a hot topic of debate. “If the lipstick doesn’t look right, it’s the rest of the makeup. Everything needs to harmonize — you can’t just swipe on frosted lips and expect it to work,” commented one user.
While other early-2000s trends, like skinny brows and metallic eyeshadow, have found a new life online, opinions on frosted lips remain divided. For some, the return to Y2K glam is a thrill; for others, it’s a cautious experiment, balancing nostalgia with contemporary elegance.
