Soft glam.
Mediterranean Makeup
Warm, sun-led makeup — bronzed skin, warm eye, glossy lip.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Where it sits
Soft glam.
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
Warmth without muddiness, which comes from the bronzer being genuinely warm rather than grey.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
The most naturally suited international style to Moroccan colouring, because the palette logic is already warm.
Underneath all of it: most Moroccan skin runs olive or golden, so cool taupes and greyed tones read as dullness rather than depth. Warm bronze, copper and terracotta do the work instead.
When it is the wrong choice
Formal evening events.
