Clean, pristine, luminous skin is always Aloisia Beauty-approved – which is why we’re glowing over the latest beauty trend to hit TikTok: the Clean Look! It takes the right combination of skincare, makeup, and precise application to pull off the soft, fresh, put-together vibe, so we’ve enlisted Megan Lombardi, professional makeup artist and influencer known across the red carpet and bridal aisle, to share all the how-to’s and must-have’s.
So, to help you achieve the Clean Look like a pro, this is Megan’s step-by-step breakdown and easy-to-follow video tutorial.
Step 1 – Prep: On a clean face, start with a gentle exfoliator to shed dead skin cells and clear pores so you can create a smooth, makeup-ready surface. Avoid exfoliators made with harsh chemicals, which can cause bumps and irritation. GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel gets the job done with a blend of Papaya Fruit enzymes and plant-based Microcrystalline Cellulose to dissolve and smooth, Sodium Hyaluronate and Lipidure® PMB for a splash of moisture, and Licorice Root for a brightening boost.
Step 2 – Mask: Next, pop on a hydrating sheet mask so skin stays calm, supple, and luminous beneath your makeup. Honey Glow Mask does both with moisture-attracting Honey, protective Propolis, and soothing Aloe and Green Tea, plus Licorice Root and White Mulberry to amp-up your natural radiance. Pro tip: Pairing it with a face roller will not only help you distribute serum from the mask evenly, it will also help relieve any puffiness and swelling.
Step 3 – Even: Now that your skin is smooth and hydrated, it will keep your makeup from slipping or caking. To even out your skin tone and neutralize any redness, apply a hydrating foundation like Charlotte Tilbury’s Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation with a sponge, and a creamy concealer like this Radiant Creamy Concealer by Nars for under-eye circles and blemishes.
Step 4 – Brows: Softly fill in your brows with a brow pencil and brow gel. Make sure you use a soft hand so your brows blend in, not stand out. The Charlotte Tilbury Brow Lift pencil comes in a variety of shades for every pair of brows.
Step 5 – Bronzer: This is the perfect time to apply a powder to take down any shine in the t-zone area. Then, add a little cream bronzer for a little color and to sculpt your complexion – Saie’s Sun Melt cream-balm bronzer does it nicely.
Step 7 – Eyes: After that, apply eyeliner along the lash-line and smudge it for a softer look. Makeup Forever’s Artist Color Pencil is one liner that creates a perfect line. Follow it with a coat of mascara, which should be combed a second time with a lash comb or spoolie to smooth out any clumps and separate your lashes. Patrick Ta’s Major Volume Mascara gives lashes a boost without looking heavy or overdone.
Step 8 – Lips: Next up is lip liner to create definition, and then tinted lip balm for a hint of neutral color. Kosa’s Lip Fuel Active Lip Balm comes in a range of neutral tones, and keeps lips hydrated to avoid chapping.
Step 9 – Cheeks: Apply a cream blush, which blends in perfectly for a natural-looking flush, without looking powdery. Saie Beauty Dew Blush in “Rosy" is a beautifully versatile hue.
Step 10 – Set: Gently spritz your face with a face mist to ensure your makeup stays put, and your skin stays hydrated and dewy. Our unbelievably light DEEP HYDRATION Aloe Gel Mist keeps makeup in place while also hydrating, moisturizing, and soothing with two forms of Aloe, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Witch Hazel and Green Tea.
