Soft to full.
Party Makeup
An evening face with visible definition, built for artificial light.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Where it sits
Soft to full.
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
Choosing for the light in the room, not the light in the bathroom.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
In a hot crowded Moroccan venue, thin setting passes matter more than the choice of foundation.
Casablanca and Rabat are humid and matte finishes hold; Marrakech and the interior are dry and the same matte finish can read flat. The look is chosen for where the day happens.
When it is the wrong choice
Daylight photography.
