Soft to full.
Fox Eye Makeup
An elongated, lifted eye shape created with liner and shadow placement.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Where it sits
Soft to full.
Soft glam is not simply less full glam — the intent is different. It aims at polished; full glam aims at transformed and camera-ready. Deciding which is wanted before the first product goes on saves the whole session.
The technique it depends on
Placement rather than product — the lift comes from where the shadow ends, not from the liner.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Suits the almond eye shape common here, and it needs a genuinely lifted brow to read.
In coastal humidity, set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer. Accumulated product slides; product laid down thinly stays. Inland the problem inverts and dryness decides instead.
When it is the wrong choice
Round eyes, where it can look pulled rather than lifted.
