What you need
Steps
Start with clean, moisturised skin. Let your moisturiser and sunscreen sink in for a few minutes so the base sits smoothly and does not pill.
Dot concealer only where you need it, such as under the eyes and around the nose. Blend with a damp sponge or your fingers.
Apply a thin layer of skin tint over the face. Build a second light layer only where you want more coverage.
Brush your brows upward with brow glue or brow gel. Press the hairs into place so they stay fluffy all day.
Tap cream blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend up toward your temples. Use a small amount and build it.
Dust translucent powder lightly over the T-zone and anywhere you get shiny. Leave the cheeks glowy.
Swipe a nude or rosy lipstick on your lips. Blend the edges with your fingertip for a soft, natural finish.
Check your face in daylight. Blend any harsh edges and add a little more blush if the look feels flat.
Tips and common mistakes
Use less product than you think you need. Thin layers look more like skin than one heavy coat.
Match your concealer to your skin tone, not several shades lighter, or the under-eye area will look grey.
Cream blush blends better over skin tint than over powder, so apply it before you set your face.
Set only the areas that get oily. Powdering the whole face kills the glow the look is built on.
Questions
Do I need expensive products for clean girl makeup?
No. The look depends more on thin layers and blending than on price. Any light skin tint, concealer and cream blush can work.
How do I stop my base from looking cakey?
Use a damp sponge, apply thin layers and powder only the T-zone. Let each layer settle before adding more.
Can I do this look without foundation?
Yes. Concealer on the spots you need plus a little blush and brow gel is often enough for a fresh everyday face.
