Natural to soft.
Office Makeup
A polished, low-maintenance face appropriate for a working day.
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
Longevity without touch-ups, since there is rarely a good mirror or a spare ten minutes.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Set the T-zone only. A fully set face in a warm Casablanca office is textured by three o'clock.
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
Evening events without adjustment.
