Inspired by Asian schools banning makeup for middle and high schoolers, the "Gakkou" look is perfect for students looking to wear beauty products without being caught.

The "Gakkou" trend, also known as the "school look" is a a form of no-makeup makeup suitable for students with strict schools when it comes to wearing cosmetics.

This is characterized by applying minimal products to achieve an "undetectable" yet fresh and flattering everyday look when attending classes.
