Soft.
Sunrise Eye Makeup
A softer warm gradient, lighter and pinker than a sunset eye.

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
Restraint in the darkest shade — it should never dominate.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Warm tones suit the local range well; keep pigment high so the pale shades still register.
The constant here is temperature. A cool-toned palette on olive skin does not read as sophisticated, it reads as grey — and the substitution is warm bronze, copper or terracotta.
When it is the wrong choice
Evening events under flash, where it can wash out.
