How To Achieve The Clean Girl Aesthetic (Black Girl Friendly)?

Hey bestie, it’s your Internet BFF, Kaylannk here! Let’s talk ‘clean girl’.

If you’ve been on TikTok for longer than five minutes, you already know this trend. The clean girl aesthetic is a timeless, effortless look that took over TikTok and never really left — and honestly? I get why. It’s a lifestyle built around minimalism and looking like you have your life together.

Oh and it isn’t new, and it doesn’t pretend to be. Think model-off-duty  meets no-makeup makeup. So let’s break down exactly how to achieve this look, piece by piece.

TOP QUICK CLICKS FOR YOU

How To Be A “Clean Girl”?

1. Hairstyle

Clean girl hair is all about one rule: your face is the focus. Any middle part hairstyle (slick bun or ponytail) works here. No flyaways, no fuss, just clean lines that let your features do the talking.

2. Makeup Look

Clean girl makeup is where “less is more” actually means something. Clean girl makeup is minimalist by design. The goal is to achieve the dewy, no-makeup makeup look. You will need  blush, bronzer, concealer, mascara, lip gloss, and full, bushy eyebrows to achieve this look. 

3. Outfit

The outfit is the part that separates “trying too hard” from actually nailing the look. To do so, it all comes down to your palette. Wear neutral colors like brown, nude, black, and white on their own or mixed together for that quiet luxury look. You want to go for a professional, polished look.

 Finish off the look with gold, silver, or mixed tone jewelry to pull the look together or to add personality without breaking the outfit palette.

4. Nails

Round-tip nails in a soft, cloudy, opaque color are the go-to, or lean into a classic French tip nail set for something a little more timeless.

5. Perfume

My pick, hands down: Ariana Grande’s Cloud fragrance. It’s a soft and warm scent.

6. Lifestyle

Here’s the part nobody talks about enough: the clean girl look is a lifestyle. It requires daily skincare, nutritious meals, regular movement, and reading books.

Written with lots of care,
