Soft glam makeup has become a favorite amongst beauty enthusiasts, known for its ability to highlight natural beauty while creating a polished, effortless look. If you’re intrigued by the idea of mastering the art of soft glam makeup, you’re in the right place!
What Is Soft Glam Makeup?
Soft glam makeup is all about enhancing your features without overpowering them. Unlike bold glam makeup, which often involves heavy contouring, bright colors, and dramatic elements, soft glam focuses on neutral tones, seamless blending, and a subtle glow. This creates a fresh-faced appearance that enhances your natural beauty. Think of it as the perfect balance between looking polished and feeling like yourself.
Prepping the Skin for Soft Glam
Before diving into your soft glam makeup application, it’s essential to prep your skin properly. Once you've cleansed your face using a gentle foaming cleanser, apply a hydrating moisturizer to lock in moisture. Hydration is key to prevent cakeyness and ensures your foundation glides on effortlessly. Once that's done, glide the Pure Canvas Hydrating Primer all over your face to provide a smooth base for your makeup.
Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating Improves and extends the wear of makeup while providing instant and overtime hydration.
Achieving a Flawless Base with Soft Glam Foundation
Foundation is vital to achieving a glowing soft glam look. We recommend the Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Waterproof Foundation for a dewy finish that feels light and breathable on the skin.
Pro Tip: Use a damp beauty sponge to build coverage gradually. Blend the foundation well for an airbrushed effect, ensuring you match your shade perfectly to your neck.
Enhancing Features with Soft Glam Contour & Highlight
Once your foundation is set, it’s time to add dimension to your face. The Matte Radiance Baked Powder is perfect for achieving a radiant glow.
- Use a bronzer to subtly contour the hollows of your cheeks.
- Apply highlighter to the high points of your face—think cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose.
Blending is crucial here; use a bronzer brush to ensure a diffused, natural finish that enhances your features without appearing stark.
Creating the Perfect Soft Glam Eye Makeup
When it comes to eyeshadow, opt for neutral or warm tones to keep things soft and inviting. We love the shade Amethyst in the Caviar Stick Eye Shadow - it's the perfect, muted mauve for all skin tones.
- Apply the Caviar Stick directly to your lids, then blend with your fingertip for a seamless finish.
- Curl your lashes and finish with a coat of mascara to open up your eyes.
