From glass skin to latte makeup, beauty trends have a way of surprising us—but the latest “tired girl makeup” is raising a few eyebrows. Inspired by smudged eyeliner, flushed cheeks, and slightly undone lips, this trend mimics the look of staying up all night. But is it here to stay, or just another fleeting moment on social media? Let’s break it down—and see how you can achieve it with PAC essentials.
What Is the ‘Tired Girl’ Look?
Think smudged kajal, rosy under-eyes, and blurred lipstick—makeup that looks effortless, even a little imperfect. The idea is to embrace a raw, unpolished vibe instead of aiming for flawless glam.
How to Recreate the Look with PAC
-
Smudged Kajal: Use the PAC Spotlight Long Wear Kajal or PAC Longlasting Kohl Pencil. Apply along the lash line, then gently smudge with a brush for that slept-in effect.
-
Flushed Cheeks: A touch of the PAC Spotlight Cream Blush just under the eyes mimics a natural, tired flush. Blend softly with the PAC Blush Brush 214 for diffused color.
-
Undone Lips: Swap precise lines for a blurred lip using PAC Insanely Matte Lip Crayon. Apply in the center and tap outward with your fingertip for a lived-in effect.
-
Minimal Base: Keep your skin fresh with the PAC Studio HD Liquid Concealer, applied sparingly to cover only what’s necessary—dark circles, redness, or blemishes.
Why It Works (and Why It Might Fade)
The appeal lies in its authenticity—people love makeup that doesn’t look too polished. But unlike classic trends such as winged liner or glowing skin, the “tired girl” aesthetic might not hold long-term appeal, especially for those who prefer makeup to enhance rather than mimic fatigue.
Our Verdict?
It’s fun to experiment, and PAC’s versatile products make it easy to try the trend without committing fully. But whether it sticks around or fades, one thing is certain—makeup is about expression, and trends like these remind us there’s no one right way to wear it.
