Natural to soft.
Korean Makeup Style
The K-beauty approach — luminous skin, soft gradient colour, understated definition.
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
Layered light hydration under a very light base.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Adapt the dewiness for humidity; the technique transfers, the finish needs adjusting.
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
Fourteen-hour weddings.
