“Tired Girl” Makeup: A New Season Trend

Sometimes you want to look natural while still emphasizing your individuality. That’s why makeup artists have created a stylish and slightly daring trend—the “tired girl” makeup. It became popular on social media and has now confidently migrated into real life. This look conveys a slight carelessness, sensuality, and fragility, creating the effect of “I didn’t try hard, but I look attractive.” We at joy-pup will tell you how to create this makeup look.

Makeup Features

The main idea is to emphasize naturalness and slightly enhance signs of fatigue, but do it beautifully. There’s no perfectly even tone or bold eyeliner here, but there is an emphasis on a “lively” look:

• soft shadows that mimic puffy eyelids;
• Subtle under-eye circles accentuated with brownish-pink tones;
• a delicate blush, as if after a sleepless night;
• moisturized lips, appearing slightly chapped.

How to recreate the “tired girl” makeup look

Facetone

Don’t strive for complete concealment. A light BB cream or foundation with a radiant effect is best. Keep your skin looking natural.

Eyes

Use warm-toned eyeshadow—rosy-brown, peach, or brick-red. Apply it to the upper and lower lids, blending lightly. You can add a drop of highlighter to the inner corner of the eye.

Under-Eyes

Instead of a heavy concealer, apply a thin layer of a light product and blend lightly, then add soft pink or lilac eyeshadow on top to emphasize the “tired” effect.

Cheeks

Apply a creamy blush in pink-berry tones to the apples of the cheeks and a touch to the bridge of the nose for a fresh look.

Lips

Avoid a sharp outline. Instead, use a tint or balm with a light shade, blending it with your fingers. A slightly “eaten” lipstick effect is ideal here.

Finishing Touch

A touch of highlighter on the cheekbones and nose, plus a slightly messy hairstyle—and the look is complete.

The “tired girl” makeup look is perfect for everyday wear: walks, meeting with friends, or art parties. It’s especially beautiful in the evening, under soft lighting, when a slight casualness looks romantic and mysterious.
