How to Do Clean Girl Makeup: A Natural, No-Makeup Makeup Look

Tools and materials:

• Face oil
• Brow gel
• Illuminating product
• Under-eye brightening corrector
• Concealer
• Translucent powder
• Cream blush
• Lip liner
• Mascara

1. Prep your skin

Before applying my makeup, I washed my face and applied oil to further hydrate my skin. I find that face oil sits nicely on my skin when I’m not using too much makeup.

If I’m going in with a heavier coverage foundation, I like to stick to a gel moisturizer just because the gel soaks up in my skin whereas the oil sits nicely on top of it and gives a really pretty glow.

2. Brow gel

Next, I’m going in with brow gel. I just grew my eyebrows so I like to brush them up, and then once I reach the arch of my brow, I like to brush them up in a diagonal just so it has a nice arch to it and they look fluffier.

You can also go in with a brow tint just to add some more color and fullness, but I’m just using a clear brow gel since my brows are pretty dark naturally.

3. Add illumination 

Next, I’m going in with an illuminating product over my cheekbones and jaw. This isn’t to add coverage, just to help make your skin look more glowy. 

After applying, grab a brush and start blending it. I like to tap the product on my cheekbones since I don’t want to move it around too much. 

You can also bring it up alongside your temple area, up to your brow bone kind of in a C-shape. It adds such a beautiful glow.

4. Under-eye brightening corrector

Next, I’m going in with an under-eye brightening corrector and just using the smallest amount of product where I have the most darkness and I’m only placing it right in that area.

Don’t worry about putting it all underneath your eye, because you don’t want your under-eyes to get cakey with product, so keep it very light.

Any excess product, I’ll just take it upwards but not directly underneath the lash line.

5. Concealer

The concealer is also going to help correct the darkness underneath your eyes. If you don’t have bad dark circles, you can skip this step as it’s not that important. On a good day, I won’t even bother with the concealer.

To keep everything very minimal, I’m using a concealer shade that’s around one shade lighter than my skin tone so it doesn’t look obvious that I have concealer and no foundation. You want everything to blend really nicely.

To apply, I just dot it right underneath my eyes and use my finger to melt the product into my skin. Make sure your hands are clean. A little bit goes a long way, so you don’t need to apply lines of product underneath your eyes. Just keep it really minimal.

6. Set with translucent powder

So we don’t crease, I’m going in with a very fine translucent powder, nothing that’s going to add additional coverage. This will help set the concealer and mattify all the oils in it so there’s no creasing throughout the day.

This is also a good time to start setting in the areas you don’t want to be dewy, so I like to set underneath my eyes, around my nose, and right between my brows.

7. Cover blemishes

For any kind of face acne, I go in with a concealer that’s full coverage and similar to my skin tone. Using a brush, I just directly tap on the spots I want to cover. I’m only applying a little bit to neutralize the redness, then using a bit of powder to set it.

8. Cream blush

Cream blush just melts into the skin a little better than powder and it looks a lot more natural. I go in with a brush and just brush it on. You want to apply where you will naturally get the flushed look like your cheeks and your nose. 

9. Lip liner

I don’t want to irritate my lips, so I’m going to go in with a lip liner to just lightly define the border of my lips.

10. Mascara

Finally, I’m going to be adding some mascara. I want my lashes to make a huge statement and just open up the eyes, so I want them to be super voluminous and fluffy.
