If You Love TikTok's Clean Makeup Aesthetic, NYFW Says You're On Trend

The no-makeup makeup look has been around for what feels like eons, but if you've been on TikTok recently, you may know that the "clean look" of 2022 is an updated, slightly more elevated version of the trend.

The concept is simple: It's all about a glowing complexion, smooth hair, simple makeup, and manicured, nude nails.

If you love the look, you're in luck because it just got a serious stamp of approval. During the New York Fashion Week Fall 2022 runway shows, the "clean look" was everywhere to be seen. Designers such as Carolina Herrera, PatBO, and Dion Lee centered their entire beauty looks around it, while others, such as LaQuan Smith, incorporated several "clean looks" into their overall aesthetic.

Ahead, find some of our favorite looks from the runways.
