If you follow Perdita Weeks on social media, you may have noticed that she wears minimal makeup and maintains a neutral and natural look.
Although the actress has always followed this minimalist makeup style and she has a totally “natural skin” look, this aesthetic is currently very popular and it is known as “Clean Girl” or “Vanilla Girl.”
In fact, the Clean Girl not only aims to pursue an organized and minimalist lifestyle, being a little simpler, but also prioritizes more natural beauty products that do not contain heavy substances or may be harmful to the skin, even preferring vegan brands. The idea is to enhance natural beauty without harming skin health or the environment.
Since actress Perdita Weeks lives a lifestyle that is very close to this concept, seeking products that are not tested on animals and have zero waste or impact on planet Earth, we can assume that she fits into this aesthetic.
If you watch Magnum P.I. you may have also noticed that this aesthetic has been adopted for Juliet Higgins’s characterization in most scenes, where we can see the natural beauty of actress Perdita Weeks being highlighted (note: with the help of the series’ impeccable lighting, even the green color of Perdita’s eyes is emphasized). Clean Girl is not limited to makeup, it involves the simplest and most natural hairstyles possible, always loose, with natural waves and low buns or hairpins. Which is really cool to see in the Tv Show, since the actress’s natural hair is also wavy/curly.
Let's talk a little more about Clean Girl and teach you how to follow this beauty aesthetic
“Clean Girl” or “Vanilla Girl” makeup is a style trend that emphasizes a natural, effortless look that enhances one’s natural features. This trend has gained popularity as people seek to embrace their unique beauty and move away from heavy, dramatic makeup looks.
Preparing your skin before applying vanilla girl makeup is essential for achieving a flawless natural look. Start by cleansing your skin with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove any dirt and oil buildup. Follow up with a hydrating toner to balance your skin’s pH and prepare it for the rest of your skincare routine. Then, apply a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer to provide your skin with the necessary hydration and protection.
To achieve a “vanilla girl” makeup look, start with a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer to even out your skin tone. Then, use a concealer to cover any blemishes or dark circles under your eyes.
For the eyes, choose neutral, earthy tones for a natural, subtle look. Use a light shade as a base, and then build up with darker shades to create depth and dimension. Finish off with a coat mascara and a natural eyeliner.
For the cheeks, use a blush in a soft subtle shade to enhance your natural flush. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend it out towards your temples for a natural, radiant look.
For the lips, opt for a hydrating lip balm or lipstick in a natural, neutral shade. ExtraTip: avoid products that contain synthetic fragrances or harmful chemicals.
