Tik Tok’s Viral Clean-girl Makeup Look in 4 steps

The clean girl makeup look — closely related to the no-makeup makeup look — is a beauty trend that has

been sweeping the internet.

TikTok's ever-expanding platform has allowed content creators to experiment with a wide range of looks.  Despite not everyone being able to afford celebrity facial treatments, TikTok appears to have cracked the code to an off-duty model's clean look. The routine's best feature? It can be done in four steps.

1. Prepped skin – Radiant looking skin

To have makeup that looks natural, you need to begin by prepping your skin. This means cleansing your face, applying a moisturiser and sunscreen. The key to smooth, porcelain-like skin is to have a good skincare routine in place before applying makeup.

After prepping your skin, apply a tinted moisturizing cream or skin tint to even out your skin tone.

To finish, dust a light dusting of powder all over your face, particularly under your eyes and on blemishes. To achieve maximum dewiness, it's important not to over-powder.

2. Add Blush

A fundamental aspect of the clean girl aesthetic is the appearance of a healthy, flushed complexion, and blush plays a pivotal role in achieving that. Besides, using a liquid blush for an effortless sun-kissed glow, you can also opt for powder blush. Simply employ a blush brush, lightly dusting it over your cheekbones in an upward motion to contour and sculpt your face, enhancing its natural radiance.

3. To bring it all together, define and shine

If you want natural looking brows, reach for a clear brow gel and brush them out. If you want defined and feathery looking brows, try a tinted brow gel or a thin brow pencil to fill up the sparse gaps in your brows by drawing individual hair-like strokes. By lifting the hairs upward, you will be enhancing your brows' natural shape without changing their shape.

Lastly, no look is complete without a good lip combo. Lightly dab your favourite lip stain from the centre of your lips toward the edges for a kiss-proof flush of colour. Then use a lip oil from Dior or Clarins to achieve the perfect "my lips, but better" look.

4. Gold/Silver hoops and a sleek bun complete the look

For the 'Clean Girl' look, tame the mane with a soft brush and mousse, then brush your strands back with a pump of mousse. Tie it all down with hair ties and bobby pins if you prefer a neater bun. You can elevate the look by adding gold or silver hoops and spritzing fragrance onto the wrist and neck to make everyone take notice.
