Full glam.
Bollywood Makeup Style
Cinematic, high-glamour makeup with strong eyes and luminous skin.
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 camera, which is what the style was developed for.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Warm and luminous suits the local range well; control the glow for humidity.
Casablanca and Rabat are humid and matte finishes hold; Marrakech and the interior are dry and the same matte finish can read flat. The look is chosen for where the day happens.
When it is the wrong choice
Understated occasions.
