- You think you invented this look.
Mm-mm honey, mm-mm.
I did.
Hey guys.
Welcome back to another episode of Taylor Tries.
I'm Taylor Strecker, and this is where I try things.
From beauty trends, to YouTube stuffies,
to whatever you want.
I'm here to try it for you.
So let's see what I'm getting myself into today.
So my challenge today is to recreate looks
from like the early aughts essentially.
And the late 90s, from when I was in high school.
Unfortunately for me and you
I had no real makeup skills back then.
So now we're being forced to pull in celebrity inspirations.
Let's see how this goes.
All right so let's start with my looks.
In this picture I'm actually kinda cute.
And if you wanna know why, it's because it was Halloween.
This is me all out, okay.
Fashion really is so cyclical.
'Cause those silly little glasses that everyone wears now,
I was wearing them then.
This look is my hippy-dippy puka shell phase.
I made that necklace myself.
My looks are pretty attainable.
I can crimp the hair maybe.
The celebrity inspiration, that's gonna be a toughy.
So first off, the queen, Miss Britney Spears in her heyday.
She was my everything.
So there's like a little bit of turquoise action
and always like with the white above.
Amazing, fabulous.
I'm seeing colored eyeliner as well.
So much dewy lip gloss, which I'm actually
really excited about because nobody loves
sticky lips more than me.
And just like unnecessary rouge.
Okay, let's get this party started.
Do you do your makeup before you do your hair?
I'm not an expert.
But I'm gonna say you start with the shadow
and like all the other colorful things.
Everybody likes to do a natural white or silver
at the very top of their eye, right under the eyebrow,
to just really accentuate all that face hair
you got going on up there, so.
Oh yeah.
That's aggressive.
That is aggressive.
If I could get some Wite-Out or something,
that would be fantastic.
I feel like I'm 95 years old right now.
I wanted to look like Britney.
Lighten it up, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Oh yes.
Oh my god, Jimmy's gonna wanna dance with me
so bad at the semi-formal.
I kinda think it's awesome.
(laughing)
I'm happy with this look.
With just the eye.
Now let's move on to the mascara.
I like to put mascara on in the car while I'm driving.
Now my eyelashes are coming apart
so this is where the sink starts to...
The sink starts to ship.
Or the ship starts to sink.
It wouldn't be a true look without
an obscene, obscene amount of blush.
The PA must've had to like go in a time machine,
set it to 1996, and get Wet N' Wild frosted pink blush.
'Cause there ain't no way that they sell this s*** anymore.
See that glow.
You know, at this point it's like
why don't I just put it all over my face.
I don't know what this utensil is for.
I'm gonna say it's for a little bit of eyeliner.
Does anybody else put their eyeliner on like this?
It tickles so much.
Wowie.
Can we please just look at my hands?
I look like an 8-year-old in art class.
Am I giving you like an anxiety attack?
Yeah, thought so.
No look would be complete
without the frostiest lip gloss known to humankind.
My mom defs did not let me wear this type.
Oh my god she's gorgeous.
Is my life a Noxzema commercial or what?
But really, I'm a totally way normal teenager.
And now to complete the look.
My hair does not hold curl very well.
So, but you know what?
In this picture, neither does Nicole Richie's,
so I think we're good to go.
If she's my inspiration, then I can just do it
like a couple ratty tendrils and like,
bada bing bada boom, I look just like her.
I just don't even know how to do anything that's girly.
Like I said guys, I'll do anything for you.
I don't really know if this is benefiting you in any way
aside from laughing at me, but.
And now that thing's happening, where like
all my hair's getting stuck to my lips,
and it's like so uncomfortable.
And like the frosty lip gloss is just like
coagulating in the corners of my mouth.
Why is this back in style?
(laughing)
I wanna call Nicole Richie on the phone and be like,
girl, you wanna look like that again?
I don't wanna look like that again.
Wouldn't you take me seriously?
You know what, and voila.
Finally something that feels like me.
I knew what was up with that puka shell necklace.
I think I actually made that myself.
And then, last but not least,
these **** glasses that are back in style.
It's like I have no eyes,
I'm just one big huge palette of eyeshadow.
I feel cute.
I don't know about you, but I feel cute.
I think I'm having an allergic reaction.
In conclusion, I feel pretty.
These trends should stay in the 90s and in the early 2000s.
They are horrible.
These glasses are back in style.
Ladies, ladies.
Let's not.
The eyeshadow.
It's too aggressive.
The turquoise, the blue.
It just like, it's way too heavy.
Don't we want our eyes to look bigger and brighter?
I am here for the frosted lip gloss, I don't know.
I clearly don't have it down pat,
but I think I looked really cute with my hair curled.
And even though this was inspired by my look,
I would like to never wear a puka shell necklace ever again.
So all in all this is an epic fail.
Thank you so much for watching this.
I hope you enjoyed.
