What You Need To Know About The Clean Makeup Aesthetic

As with all makeup looks, there are a few key products you’ll need, and Vogue has broken down the look to its bare essentials.

Firstly, your base should be minimal. All you need is moisturizer, SPF, and some concealer. If you have oily skin, you can use powder over the top, but remember to keep it low-key as the main appeal of clean girl makeup is to have a glowing complexion. If you can’t bring yourself to go completely foundation free, InStyle recommends the lightweight Rose Inc. Skin Enhance Luminous Tinted Serum, which will give your face a more even texture without the dreaded cakey look.

Next, reach for cream contour and cream blush. The cream formulation will once again add to your dewy finished look. Lightly define your cheeks and then dot blush across them and your nose for a summer-tan look that works all year round. InStyle recommends the Drunk Elephant O-Bloos Rosi Glow Drops, which contain a subtle shimmer.

Finally, tie the look together by defining your brows whilst still keeping them natural for a feathery look. For your lips, add a dash of lipgloss or a tinted lip balm for hydration. Tinted products will give you a hint of color but still look super natural.
