Natural to soft.
Korean Makeup
Dewy skin, gradient lip, straight soft brow and minimal contour.
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
Skin. The look is a skincare result more than a makeup one.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
The dewy finish is difficult in coastal Moroccan humidity, where it slides. Adapt with a satin rather than a wet finish.
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
Long hot events.
