Back to Basics: How to Master the Viral Clean Girl Make-up Look

Step-by-step guide on clean girl or no-makeup makeup look

Here’s a 7-step guide on how to achieve a natural makeup look:

Step 1: Indulge in the right skincare

How to get a natural look with makeup, you ask? Start with your skincare regimen. No-makeup or clean girl makeup starts with healthy, plump, and well-moisturized skin. Indulge in a customized skincare routine designed for your skin's unique needs and concerns. Don’t forget to follow the CTM routine with a suitable cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. Don't skip daily sun protection. For added hydration, you can use face essence and face serum. Consistent skin care is crucial to reflect a healthy glow with just the slightest touch of makeup on the face.

For a customized skincare regimen, head to the L’Oréal Paris Skin Genius tool. This advanced tool analyzes key areas of your skin, suggests skincare considering your skin type, preferences, and sensitivity.

Step 2:  Apply a thin layer of foundation & concealer

The first step to achieving a no makeup/clean girl look is to choose a foundation. The right foundation shade and formula will blend seamlessly with your skin and deliver a radiant complexion and a subtle finish. Look for a lightweight formula that will conceal pores and imperfections and give you a radiant glow.

We recommend you select foundation from L’Oréal Paris True Match Super Blendable Liquid Foundation range. This skin-care infused foundation offers natural, true-to-skin coverage, and 24h hydration. You can also try an effective foundation hack -who simply mix a few drops of foundation with moisturizer for an effortlessly understated make-up look.

Apply with a beauty blender for an even more natural finish and use concealer sparingly: just a drop under the eyes and over imperfections. Et voilà. We recommend you use L’Oréal Paris True Match Super Blendable Concealer (for a lightweight natural coverage). Control shine with a pressed powder .

Step 3: Add a subtle flushed glow to your cheeks

Wondering how to get the no-makeup look aka clean girl makeup? Focus on blush makeup. Blusher plays a key role in clean girl makeup. Unload your favourite blush on your cheeks and the bridge of your nose for an effortless, velvety, and sun-kissed look. Let your fingertips take the lead in blending as the warmth helps blend the product into your skin seamlessly, leaving behind a light veil of color that illuminates your inner glow. We recommend you use L'Oréal Paris Le Blush Bar which leaves you with a lush hue that resembles a healthy and natural blush.

Step 4: Upgrade your brow game

Enhance and fix the natural shape of your eyebrows while maintaining a feathery look. You can use a suitable brow makeup product for a natural yet polished finish. If your brows are sparse or have gaps that need filling, use a very thin eyebrow pencil. The key is to go light. We recommend you use L'Oréal Paris Brow Artist Xpert for defined, fuller-looking brows with a natural finish.

Step 5: Embrace the beauty of your natural lashes

No makeup or clean girl makeup trends don't prioritize adding artificial volume to the lashes. So, how to get the no-makeup look or clean girl makeup? What’s the secret behind clean girl eye makeup? Simply, apply a thin layer (or two) of mascara that helps stretch and separate lashes without clumps. The idea is to open the eyes without overdoing it. We recommend you use False Lash Superstar Mascara by L'Oréal Paris for super-sized and super-long lashes.

Step 6: Hydrated and shiny pout

Clean girl makeup calls for sheer lips and a hydrated finish. Creating luscious lip appeal demands a delicate touch and the right lip makeup product that can maintain a natural aesthetic while capturing the light and looking full of moisture. For best results, opt for a tinted lip balm or choose a lipstick or gloss. We recommend you use L'Oréal Paris Color Riche Free The Nudes as it leaves soft-focus results on the lips and effortlessly enhances your natural lip color.

Step 7: Set with a translucent powder

Congratulations! You have neatly achieved a clean girl look. Now it's time to set your creation with a setting spray to keep your make-up fresh until nightfall. We recommend you use L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray (its ultra-fine, oil-free mist formula helps seal the face, eyes, and lip makeup look).

Now that you know how to get the no-makeup look , you can create it for your everyday college, quick office look, or any day-time party. Not sure how the look would turn out? Utilize the L'Oréal Paris Virtual Makeup Try-On tool to experiment with various looks to get a personalized look.
