What Is The ‘Tomato Girl’ Aesthetic?
The ‘Tomato Girl’ aesthetic is all about channeling the perfect Euro vacation with chic sartorial choices that feel effortless and exude carefree Mediterranean holiday vibes.
A ‘Tomato Girl’ wears reds, reminiscent of sun-ripened tomatoes from the local market and the color of the sun. White ruffle dresses, gingham patterns in baby blues, delicate florals or fruit prints, comfortable linen sets, triangle headscarves, and chic woven basket bags, are also common aesthetic choices.
So why tomatoes? Well, why not? “This aesthetic is inspired by a woman who is as bold and vibrant as the juicy tomato she holds in her hand. Whether we’re lounging on a beach or frolicking through a field, we can take a cue from the Tomato Girl and radiate confidence, vibrancy, and a zest for life.
Tomato Girls prioritize dips in the ocean over maintaining a blowout. Whether she’s heading to the local markets for fresh vine-ripened tomatoes or aperitivo hour for an Aperol spritz, the base makeup is light and is always Sunkissed and undone.
Want to hop on the tomato girl bandwagon? The easiest way is through your makeup! Let’s dive into the secrets of achieving this viral look and let the summer vibes flow.
What Does ‘Tomato Girl’ Makeup Look Like?
The tomato girl makeup is suited for those who hate spending a lot of time getting ready, but still want maximum results. Start with your favorite base routine of choice. During summer, we prefer a light layer of Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen, followed by a creamy concealer like Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Under Eye Brightener along with Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer to dab beneath the eyes and on any blemishes. You can use a damp beauty blender for quick and easy application.
Now, it’s time to add the tomato effect to the tomato girl makeup trend. The key to this look is a terracotta-based blush that will give you a rosy, tomato-like glow. After many trials, we’ve concluded that Saie’s Liquid Cheek Blush in Spicy – a warm terracotta, and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush- Love – matte terracotta are the key to unlocking the perfectly ripe flush. This highly pigmented shade works well on all skin tones. When applying, be sure to sweep onto the apples of your cheeks and blend out. Don’t be afraid to layer on more blush than usual to nail this look. For final touches, find a good lip gloss like Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil to tie back into your rust-colored cheeks.
Basically, ‘Tomato Girl Makeup’ is all about simplicity at its finest, very similar to the ‘clean girl makeup‘. Keep things simple with multitasking products that can be applied in seconds, with or without a mirror. A touch of concealer (only where needed), a lip and cheek stain for a pop of color, curled lashes, a bronzer plus a swipe of clear brow gel should do the trick.
