Aura beauty is a beauty-forward aesthetic centered on radiant, luminous skin and glowing makeup, aiming for an ethereal quality of light coming off the wearer. TikTok and Instagram popularized it in the early 2020s, closely alongside 'that girl' wellness culture and clean girl makeup. Dewy skin carries highlighter on the cheekbones, brow bone, and inner corners. Lips are glazed in sheer pink or nude, with light-catching blush above. Clothing stays minimalist in soft neutrals, cream, blush, and white linen, so nothing competes with the complexion.
