The Only 12 Products You Need If You’re 40ish And Want That “Clean Girl” Makeup Look
Is it a trend? Or does it just make good sense?
by The Candidly Team
This title is basically a trick because you know and I know we just mean “natural” makeup. Although maybe there is something a little extra to “clean girl” makeup. It’s like, extra natural. Extra glowing. Extra ethereal. It’s the kind of makeup where people will say to you “Wow, you look so fresh and rested and luminous” and not “your makeup looks great.”
There’s a difference.
Let’s gaze upon some of the most beautiful women alive with this clean girl look:
So much of what makes these looks gorgeous is the fresh skin and the highlighting of one feature. Nothing looks heavy, nothing looks like it’s sitting on the skin, and everything seems fully blended and beautiful. And 98% of the success of these looks is in using the exact right products that are basically foolproof.
And there are a lotttttt of products in this “minimalist” category. A lot of mediocre products. A lot of products you absolutely do not need because their marketing is better than the product itself.
But we have tried hundreds of them, and these 12 are undeniably the best.
No rebuttals.
