The ‘tired girl trend’ has surged in popularity over the recent weeks with beauty buffs nailing the exhausted look – and here’s how you can recreate it yourself at home
Make-up trends will continue to come and go – and the latest one is something rather different to the classic ‘clean girl’ aesthetic or the ‘glass skin’ look.
The ‘tired girl’ trend is currently surging, with many people recreating a ‘tired seduction’ eye look with dark under-eyes and fluttery lashes. While following trends can be great for make-up and product inspiration, the latest tired girl trend may be a look you’re already nailing without even realising.
The looks, as seen online, consists of faux dark circles with a red pigment under the eyes, mascara, foundation, concealer and sometimes fake lashes.

The tired girl trend has become it’s own TikTok category, with make-up tutorials amassing over 300,000 views and stars such as Lily Rose-Depp, Gabbriette and Emma Chamberlain adopting the style. Influencer Lara Violetta proved she was a fan of the look and claimed, “Eye bags are so chic because you actually have to work for them.”
Perhaps the Tired Girl Look is best exemplified by Jenna Ortega’s makeup in the Netflix series Wednesday, featuring lightly smudged eyes framed by dark shadows that accentuate or imitate under-eye bags. TikToker @nerulera showcases a whopping 12-step routine to achieve “tired girl make-up” and calls it “tired seduction”.
One person quipped: “This is what my make-up always looks like because my dark circles can’t be covered no matter how much concealer,” and another chimed: “That’s literally my make-up routine but I always look tired so I don’t need to add eye shadow.”
