Having grown up in the 2000s, I developed a deep appreciation for romantic-comedy movies and the leading ladies that dominated the screen. While I was just young enough to have missed most of them when they first premiered, I always lingered a few extra minutes in my neighborhood Blockbuster, hoping someone would return them on Friday nights so I could watch and rewatch my favorites whenever I had the chance.

It could definitely be argued that the rom-coms of our childhood remain engrained in our memories, but it gives us more of a reason to embrace them in our adulthood as we play with beauty and fashion. Below, I'm sharing a few of my favorite makeup looks from these movies and the products I would use to re-create them.
