Ghost Lashes: Ditch Mascara for Fresh Summer Look
15 Jul
Summary
- Ghost lashes forgo mascara for a fresh, minimalist appearance.
- Celebrities like Zendaya and Hailey Bieber sport the trend.
- Brightening concealer is key to achieving the awake look.
The "ghost lashes" trend is redefining summer makeup for 2026 by minimizing mascara use for a fresh, unfussy look. Originating from a hair term, this beauty trend focuses on naturally defined lashes, creating a clean and awake appearance.
Celebrities like Zendaya, seen at The Odyssey premiere on July 14, have embraced this minimalist approach. Other stars such as Pamela Anderson, Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid, and Addison Rae have also adopted the ghost lash aesthetic in recent months, signaling a shift towards lighter makeup during warmer weather.
Achieving the fresh-eyed effect without mascara involves strategic use of brightening concealer. Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas highlighted this technique for Zendaya's luminous look, using Prada's Blurring + Micro Correcting Concealer. Products like Prada Beauty's Touch Blush were also applied to enhance a sun-kissed glow.
