It’s the effortless looking trend that’s all over TikTok, but what is clean girl makeup? We believe every girl should have a minimal makeup routine in her life. If you’re lusting after that dewy, lit-from-within glow, scroll on for our super simple clean girl makeup tutorial, complete with our recs for clean girl makeup look products.
The clean girl aesthetic is clean, yes. But it’s more than that. After all, who ever said dirty skin was attractive?
Clean girl makeup is a hot new take on no-makeup makeup. The clean girl makeup look gives your skin permission to let its natural beauty shine. And it makes sense if you think about it: less foundation clogging your pores means happier skin and fewer breakouts.
The best clean girl makeup focuses on the basics: cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing – and minimal makeup. Every day’s a skincare day! We can’t get enough of the clean girl makeup routine.
The best clean girl makeup begins with – you guessed it, squeaky clean skin! Opt for a cleanser that will help reveal brighter, glowing skin, such as Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Brightening Gel Washable Cleanser.
If you’re new to clean girl aesthetic makeup, why not jump-start your journey to dewy skin with a face mask like Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Brightening Serum Mask 5 Minute Sheet Mask with Vitamin C + Pineapple. And complete the wide-awake effect with Clearly Brighter Anti-Puff Eye Roller.
Let’s not forget, this is no-makeup makeup – so skip the primer. Instead reach for a really good moisturizer. A serum that delivers hydration and SPF is the ultimate in clean girl makeup products: try Garnier Green Labs Hyalu-Melon Replumping 3 in 1 Serum Cream.
In the spirit of minimalist makeup, once you’ve moisturized, put as little as possible on your face. If you feel you need it, apply a BB cream such as Garnier SkinActive 5-in-1 Miracle Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free - Light/Medium or Medium/Deep to add to your natural glow. If you must, touch up problem areas with a little concealer or corrector. But remember, the aim of the clean girl aesthetic game is... skin that looks like skin. That means texture, shine and all.
Frame your sweet face with a full brow. This can be achieved by fluffing up the brow up to give an impression of fullness. Use a brow gel to set and touch up any sparse spots with a brow filler. Two coats of mascara and you’re good to go.
Plumped, hydrated skin is the key to a pretty pout. Prep the lips with a replumping cleanser such as Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water With Hyaluronic Acid + Aloe. Then, keep lips looking natural with a perfectly matched lip liner, topped with plenty of gloss for a girl-next-door pout.
It’ll come as no surprise that the clean girl aesthetic starts with sleek, healthy hair. Here’s how to get the look:
Even minimal makeup needs to be removed correctly at the end of the day. Remember: the secret to the clean girl makeup look is impeccable skin care. To keep the skin looking its best, never miss your nightly cleansing regime. For gentle makeup removal that boosts glow, try a brightening cleanser like Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water With Vitamin C.
