The Y2K lip revival is everywhere: frosted pink, metallic gold, silver, and copper lips are back, and they pair beautifully with soft glam, smoky eyes, and winged liner. This evergreen guide shares 20 metallic and frosted lip looks, one per heading, each with its own photo — from classic metallic and frosted pink to gold, silver, copper, berry, and bridal — so you can find the exact Y2K lip for your skin tone, occasion, and mood.

1. Classic Metallic Lips

2. Frosted Lips 2000s

Frosted lips 2000s are the true Y2K throwback — a pale, frosted pink or nude lip with a shimmery, icy finish, just like the 2000s. The frosted finish is soft and shimmery, not glittery, and it pairs beautifully with a dark lip liner and a soft eye. Use a frosted lipstick or a shimmery lip gloss over a nude base. This version is perfect for anyone who loves a nostalgic, Y2K lip.

3. Metallic Gold Lips

4. Metallic Silver Lips

Metallic silver lips are the coolest version — a shiny, silver metallic lip with an icy, futuristic finish. The silver finish is bold and editorial, and it pairs beautifully with a cool eye and a soft base. Use a metallic silver lipstick, or layer a silver lip topper over a nude lip. This version is perfect for photoshoots, parties, and anyone who loves a bold, icy lip.

5. Metallic Copper Lips

6. Metallic Rose Gold Lips

Metallic rose gold lips are the prettiest version of this trend — a soft, rosy metallic lip that flatters every skin tone. The rose gold finish is warm and romantic, and it pairs beautifully with a soft pink blush and a defined eye. Use a metallic rose gold lipstick, or layer a rose gold lip topper over a pink lip. This version is perfect for weddings, date nights, and anyone who loves a romantic, metallic lip.

7. Frosted Pink Lips

8. Frosted Nude Lips

Frosted nude lips are the most wearable version — a nude lip with a frosted, shimmery finish that looks fresh and modern. The frosted nude is soft and subtle, and it pairs beautifully with a smoky eye or a winged liner. Use a frosted nude lipstick or a shimmery nude gloss over your favourite nude lip. This version is perfect for everyday, work, and anyone who wants a frosted lip they can wear anywhere.

9. Metallic Red Lips

10. Metallic Berry Lips

Metallic berry lips are the richest version — a deep, metallic berry lip that glows with a wine-toned shine. The berry finish is rich and romantic, and it pairs beautifully with a soft eye and a warm blush. Use a metallic berry lipstick, or layer a metallic topper over a berry lip. This version is perfect for autumn, evenings, and anyone who loves a rich, wine-toned lip.

11. Metallic Brown Lips

12. Frosted Lip Gloss

Frosted lip gloss is the easiest way into this trend — a shimmery, frosted gloss worn alone or over any lipstick for an instant Y2K finish. The gloss adds shine and frost without the commitment of a full metallic lipstick. Apply it alone for a soft frost, or over a nude lip for extra shine. This version is perfect for anyone who wants to try the frosted lip trend without buying a new lipstick.

13. Metallic Lipstick with Glitter

14. Metallic Lips with Dark Liner

Metallic lips with dark liner are the true Y2K version — a metallic or frosted lip with a dark brown lip liner, for the classic 2000s contrast. The dark liner defines the lips and makes the metallic finish pop. Line the lips with a dark brown liner, blend it slightly inward, then fill in with a metallic or frosted lipstick. This version is ideal for anyone who loves an authentic Y2K lip.
