Full glam.
Club Makeup
A high-impact face built for low light and camera flashes.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Where it sits
Full glam.
The full end is built for photography rather than for a room. It is many layers, and every one has to be thin: the failure mode is thickness, not intensity.
The technique it depends on
Building for flash, which flattens everything — stronger than looks right in the mirror.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Heat and crowding in a Moroccan venue mean setting matters more than in a cooler climate.
One rule carries across every look on this site: check undertone rather than depth. Olive and golden skin greys against neutral and pink-based products however well the depth matches.
When it is the wrong choice
Daylight.
