Puppy Eye Makeup
A softened, downturned emphasis that reads open and gentle rather than lifted.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Where it sits
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
Keeping the outer corner low — the opposite instinct to almost every other eye look.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Softness needs pigment to register on deeper skin, or it simply looks unfinished.
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
Formal or dramatic occasions.
