The Best Makeup Techniques To Achieve The 'Clean Girl Aesthetic' Look

preview

Trends come and go at the speed of light. It can be hard to keep up with what’s going on, let alone incorporate it into your own unique style. However, this is one of our favorite trends by far. Instead of using heavy makeup that involves a lot of contouring and dark eyes, this “clean girl aesthetic” allows you to appreciate your natural beauty. All you need is a little “sprucing up” to accomplish this trendy look. It’s a style that doesn’t require hours in front of the mirror or even emptying your wallet at the mall. Sound like something you may be interested in?The style is trending, and for good reason. This look offers women the chance to feel beautiful and comfortable. It’s the “relaxed” style (i.e. a baseball cap, slicked-back hair, gold hoops, and simple, albeit flattering clothes). Although, we’ll be focusing on the makeup aspect of this trend.Now, this look doesn’t mean that if you don’t do your makeup with this technique that you’re “dirty.” The “clean girl aesthetic” simply means a natural, dewy makeup look that accentuates what you have, rather than alters or covers up what’s there. It’s known as the “no makeup” makeup style.UnsplashYou may be thinking that you can’t achieve this look because you have, for example, bad acne. This isn’t true. Anyone can achieve a “clean girl look.” It’s all about the makeup you choose and the way you use it. With that said, let’s go over the best ways to achieve this gorgeous face.“Conceal Don’t Feel”Lightweight is what we’re after here. We don’t want you to wear layers and layers of makeup. All we’re doing is smoothing out imperfections with a dewy concealer. We want that skin to glow with health. If you can help it, only apply it to areas that need the extra smoothing, such as acne, dark circles, and anywhere else you feel that you have discoloration.This look is “natural,” right? That means groomed, fluffy brows. Brush them with a brow gel (colored or clear), and comb them diagonally. We want you to achieve lift, especially those of you who have eyebrows on the thinner side. For those who have naturally thick brows, don’t go too crazy. We don’t want to go from “natural” to “cavewoman.”UnsplashPowder That SkinNow, we want to set that concealer with a light powder. This keeps your product from sinking into your natural lines. Apply the powder into the areas that typically crease, such as around the eyes, nose, and laugh lines. Tip: it helps to dab instead of swipe. You don’t want to smudge that beautiful face, do you?This step may seem unnecessary, but a lot of makeup artists agree that curling your lashes accentuates the eyes. It makes them look brighter, even without mascara. Of course, who doesn’t love a touch of mascara? Feel free to add it before curling those fluttering lashes. Try to get mascara that is “smudge-free” or “clump-free.” You’ll thank yourself later.UnsplashBe Sure To “Blush”It’s easier to blend blush when you use cream or liquid formulas. Place it right on top of those amazing cheekbones and blend upward so you get the maximum lift. If you’re not sure about the amount you need, then start with less. It’s easier to add more than to remove that pink splotch on your cheek. For a “sun-kissed” look, place a few dots of blush to your cheekbones and nose. Blend with your fingertips.Highlighter is optional because we are going for a “natural” glow, but who doesn’t want to keep going once they’ve started? Grab that creamy highlighter and dab it on the top of your cheeks and along the bridge of your nose. Gently blend it upward. Are you glowing yet? If you don’t feel particularly shiny, you can always add more. Remember, this is your face, so you can apply as much or as little as you like.UnsplashPucker UpDo you want to plump up those lips? Use a smudgeable lip liner to round your bottom lip and accentuate your cupid’s bow. Smudge the liner inward and upward. This will diffuse your lips colors, creating an ombre effect. Top this look with tinted gloss or even glitter gloss. Naturally plump lips with minimal effort. What more could you ask for?Are you ready for the day? The night? These tips are meant to help you navigate your unique "clean girl” look, so don’t be afraid to stray from these steps or adapt them to your advantage. Everyone’s face structure and skin is different. This style is meant to bring out your distinctive inner beauty. So, think healthy, glowing splendor. We know you’re capable of achieving this look because you're already beautiful. However, everyone likes to accentuate what they have, right?
