Clean Girl Makeup Tutorial

Last updated:

Clean girl makeup is the effortless, dewy, 'I woke up like this' aesthetic that took over social media. Think slicked-back hair, glowing skin, subtle blush, and fluffy brows — the whole look screams health and simplicity. This tutorial uses a minimal product count to achieve that polished-but-undone effect: skin tint, cream blush, clear brow gel, and a tinted lip balm. The secret is in the prep — well-hydrated, primed skin does 80% of the work, and the makeup just enhances what's already there.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Skincare glow

    Step 1 of 4

    Layer a hydrating serum, lightweight moisturizer, and SPF to create that clean-girl lit-from-within glow before any makeup.

  2. 2

    Skin tint

    Step 2 of 4

    Dot a dewy skin tint across the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, then blend with your fingers or a damp sponge for sheer, second-skin coverage.

  3. 3

    Brows & lashes

    Step 3 of 4

    Brush brows upward with a soap brow product or clear gel for a fluffy, lifted shape, then coat your lashes with brown mascara to keep things soft.

  4. 4

    Gloss & highlight

    Step 4 of 4Almost done!

    Dab cream highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose, then finish with a clear or sheer lip gloss for the signature glossy look.
