Friends. Gen Z is knocking at the door with more beauty advice (and coming for your makeup routine).
That’s right, apparently eye shadow is an “old lady thing,” according to aTikTokthat user Jennifer Latch shared at the end of February. She said her daughter told her that it’s a “Gen X and millennial” thing to wear it.
In the words ofAriana Grande: Yes, and?
Taylor stitched Latch’s video with atutorialon how to youthify and Gen Z-ify your eye makeup so that you can go out in public and not get laughed at. (She didn’t say that — we’re just here to help you.)

On one eye, she demonstrated the quintessential millennial eye makeup: the harsh dark eyeliner, the light eyeshadow above it, the smudged darker shadow above that and the highlight at your brow bone. The pièce de résistance? The v-shape that the shadow comes to on the side of your eye. If you’re a millennial, you know exactly what I’m talking about without even looking at a picture. You probably have it on your eyes right now. (It’s okay, we can work through this together!)
“Over the river and through the hood,” she says of the look.
She uses a rose gold shadow across the whole lid and uses a bronze liner for an overall softer appearance. She notes that this is especially forgiving if you have a hooded eye or texture beside your eye (hello, millennials!) because you can smudge it out.
