Natural to soft.
Model Off Duty
A deliberately undone face — good skin, strong brow, minimal colour.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Where it sits
Natural to soft.
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
The brow. With almost no colour, the brow carries the entire face.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Suits dense Moroccan brows very well, since the look wants a strong natural brow rather than a drawn one.
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
Anything formal.
