How to achieve the clean girl look? Just follow these 8 simple steps
Beauty trends are fleeting and sometimes it seems like there are so many that we can barely keep up with them. However, emphasizing natural beauty is always 'in'. In the beauty world, the clean girl aesthetic holds a special place. As numerous beauty experts have noted, it is the current variation of the no-makeup makeup look. Both styles share the same idea: how to look fresh and natural, as if you’re not wearing makeup, while subtly highlighting your beauty with products.
If you need a break from heavy makeup and are ready for a minimalist turn, just follow these 8 simple steps.
1. A skincare routine is key to the clean girl aesthetic. First, cleanse, tone, and hydrate your skin. After that, apply a primer - it will create a smooth and even base on your skin.
2. Skip the foundation. Without a heavy base, your skin will look more natural and its natural texture will stand out.
3. Use concealer wisely! Once you find the ideal concealer for your skin undertone, apply it to blemishes, dark spots, and the under-eye area, and put a little powder on the T-zone.
4. Apply a little blush on your cheeks.
5. Add a bit of highlighter to your cheekbones, the tip of your nose, and above your lips. Choose a good liquid highlighter and avoid shimmery and glittery ones. For a natural glow, you can mix it with a bit of primer.
6. As for the eyes, it's important to highlight a few things. First, apply an eyeshadow in a cream or pink shade on your eyelids and blend it with your fingers. Then, apply a brown pencil to the inner rim of the eyelid. Mascara will add a bit of volume to your lashes, and you can fill in your eyebrows a bit with a pencil.
7. It's time to move on to the lips. Choose a creamy lipstick in a shade that is as close to your natural lip color as possible. In addition to lipstick, apply lip balm - it will give you extra shine and hydration.
8. Although you won't actually use a lot of products, we still recommend applying a setting spray over your makeup.
Finally, a few extra tips. Whenever possible, blend products with your fingers. This will give you a nice soft look. Apply powder with a sponge and avoid bright colors on your eyes and lips.
