The Ultimate Guide to Ace the ‘Clean Girl’ Makeup Look

Unless you have been living under a rock, you couldn't have missed the viral ‘clean girl’ makeup look that took TikTok by storm. The current love for minimalism has caused a sudden shift in every industry, from fashion, style, and home aesthetics to makeup. Similar to the no-makeup makeup look, clean girl makeup also involves little to no makeup, a look perfect for any occasion, especially if you prefer minimal aesthetics. But before we delve into the details of achieving the clean girl makeup look, let’s break down what it actually means to ace the clean girl makeup look. 

 

What is the ‘Clean Makeup Look’?

The whole concept of the clean makeup look is that the makeup you use should accentuate your natural skin, making you look like a natural beauty and effortlessly fresh. Although your first impression of a clean makeup look would be using minimal makeup products, sometimes it might require more than the usual amount of makeup to achieve this desired look. However, the key to achieving this look is the type of products you use and its ability to blend the product effortlessly for a soft diffused effect while going undetectable.

How to Achieve the ‘Clean Makeup Look’?

Hydrate your skin with a moisturizer:

The secret to a flawless base for a clean makeup look is moisturizing your skin with a hydrating moisturizer that will render a healthy glow and prevent your skin from drying out. If you are looking for a lightweight moisturizer, you can opt for the PAC Aqua Blast Moisturizer, a water-based moisturizer suitable for all skin types.

 

Prep your skin for makeup with a primer:

Primer is an underrated product that plays a vital role in holding your makeup look together for prolonged periods without fading away. A primer would also help fill any pores and smoothen fine lines to give you a clean and smooth base, which is ideal for achieving this look. The PAC Pore Primer is the best primer for all skin types that diminishes the appearance of pores without clogging them.

 

Get a radiant finish with a dewy foundation: 

Dewy foundations are ideal for that natural healthy glow needed to ace a clean girl makeup look. However, keep in mind to only use foundation if and as much is required, using a little too much could steer you away from that natural makeup look you desire. If you have oily skin you can opt for a matte foundation and mix it with a strobing liquid for a radiant appearance. The PAC Strobing Liquid Drops is a must-have essential if natural no-makeup makeup looks are your go-to look for almost all occasions.

 

Add volume to your lashes sans the clump with mascara: 

Since you wouldn’t be going in with an eyeliner or kohl, it is essential to enhance your eyes naturally by using a mascara that lengthens and volumizes your lashes without the clump or spidery effect. You can use the PAC Twist & Lift Mascara, a 4-in-1 multi-tasking product to achieve the lash look you desire without clumping your lashes for a natural finish.

 

Set and lift your brows with an eyebrow definer:

To achieve that clean, groomed, and well-put-together makeup look, you will also need to tame and groom your brows with an eyebrow gel. If you already have thick and fluffy eyebrows, you can set them in place with a clear eyebrow gel like the PAC Quick Fix Brow Gel that holds your brows in place and renders a lifted effect.

 

Add a subtle blush to your cheeks: 

Your clean girl makeup look would be incomplete without giving your cheeks a natural flush of color with a subtle blush. Be it a soft brown nude or a rosy pink, the blush would instantly bring your face to life by adding a subtle pop of color. The PAC X Sarah Dewy Liquid Blush & the PAC Spotlight Cream Blush are both ideal blushes to use to ace this look.

 

Give your lips a natural soft pout: 

The clean girl aesthetic is all about keeping your look bare and natural so your lips too would need to be minimally filled and defined as possible. You can use a slightly darker color than your lips to give it a subtle definition and go with a slightly less dark but neutral lip color and softly diffuse it with your fingers or a tissue. The PAC XOXO Lip Crayons are a creamy matte lip crayon that renders a soft tint and blends effortlessly for a diffused effect.

 

In conclusion, the clean girl makeup look is ideal for your everyday looks as well as occasional functions where you wish to keep your makeup minimal and natural. By picking and choosing the right products and using the techniques mentioned above, you can effortlessly ace this look and leave your friends surprised and in awe!
