2022 has been the year of minimalist style, light makeup, dewy skin, and the "clean" aesthetic. The look is all about white button-downs, simple gold jewelry, subtle makeup, and slicked back hair. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez, Alicia Keys, and Kendall Jenner have truly embraced this vibe, going for simple outfits and makeup looks. But you don't have to be a celebrity (or have a celebrity budget) to achieve this aesthetic.
Selena Gomez truly embodies the minimalist vibe. Her makeup is light and dewy, her hair is pulled back, and her jewelry is simple. The beauty of this look is that it can be dressed up with a nice outfit, or made much more casual with an oversized sweatshirt, like Selena is wearing in this photo.
Hailey Bieber is also known for her minimalist looks. She keeps her hair pulled out of her face, focuses on a bold brow and shiny lip, and embellishes the look with small gold earrings and a necklace. Hailey regularly finishes the look with a pair of classic sunglasses.
For a few years, Alicia Keys stopped wearing makeup entirely, embracing her natural beauty. She's introduced a bit of makeup back into her routine, but she still focuses on looking natural.
GET THE LOOK:
Oversized White Button-Down
$80
from
Bloomingdale's
White button-down shirts are staples — everyone should have one! Recently, oversized white button-downs have been popular. Wear one instead of a cardigan or jacket over a casual outfit to dress it up a little, or wear it over a form-fitting dress to make it more casual. One of the trendiest ways to wear a white button-down right now? Tuck in one side and leave the other side loose.
Hair Gel
The minimalist aesthetic isn't complete without a slicked back bun or ponytail, and the best way to get that look is with a strong hold hair gel. This got2b hair gel will lock hair in place all day long.
Hair Tamer Wand
Make sure your slicked back hair stays in place with the AOA Hair Tamer Finishing Wand. Just run the wand, which looks like a mascara wand, over your baby hairs, flyaways, and frizz, to keep everything looking sleek and glossy.
Small Gold Hoops
Simple gold jewelry is all the rage right now, but you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get high-quality jewelry. These 18k PVD gold plated stainless steel hoops from Nür are waterproof, hypoallergenic, and tarnish-free.
Dewy Skin Serum
One of the essential elements of this "clean" aesthetic is glowy, dewy skin. A great way to make your skin look hydrated, dewy, and reflective is with the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops.
Liquid Blush
For this natural makeup look, you'll want to bring a light flush of color to your cheeks. The Makeup Revolution Superdewy Liquid Blusher comes in three flattering colors that can be sheered out or built up.
Brow Gel
Another crucial element for this makeup look is fluffy brows. You don't want them to be too bold, but they should have a natural, set look. The NYX Professional Makeup Brow Glue Extreme Hold Instant eyebrow gel styler will keep brows in place all day.
Simple Black Sunglasses
Complete the minimalist look with a pair of black sunglasses — but not oversized ones! This aesthetic is all about smaller, more angular sunglasses, like this pair from Target.
