Y2K Makeup Is So Back, According to Megan Thee Stallion

Grammy Award–winning rapper, songwriter, and official Hot Girl coach Megan Thee Stallion made her performance debut last night on the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway, rocking “soft sultry glam” makeup that was nothing short of angelic. Paired with a bouncy bombshell blowout, the star wore a Y2K-coded makeup look on the pink carpet and the catwalk, complete with a shimmery eye, dazzling inner-corner highlights, and a lifted cat-eye flick, created by YSL Beauty celebrity makeup artist Diana Shin.

As just about any professional makeup artist will agree, one of the keys to a long-lasting look is using delicate layers of product—one reason Shin opted to apply YSL Beauty’s Make Me Blush Longwear Cream Blush in 37 Peachy Nude and 90 Toffee Temptation along with its buildable powder version in shades 12 Honeymoon and 57 Coral Clash. To complete Thee Stallion’s show-stopping performance look, the artist kept the evening’s Y2K theme going with a high-contrast lip combo featuring YSL Beauty’s Kiss Shaper Long-Lasting Sculpting Lip Liner in 107 Cocoa Flirt and Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick in the pinky-nude 44 Nude Lavalliere.
