Glam Makeup

A finished, camera-ready face with visible definition — the general category rather than a specific point on it.

Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.

Where it sits

A band rather than a point. Ask which end is wanted before starting.

Where a look sits on the natural-to-glam scale decides more than the products do. Establish it before starting rather than discovering it halfway.

The technique it depends on

Deciding the intensity before the first product, not discovering it halfway.

On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate

In Morocco 'glam' usually means closer to full than the international default assumes.

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

Nothing, if the intensity is agreed. Everything, if it is not.
