Soft glam with the edges deliberately softer still.
Soft Romantic Makeup
Warm, diffused colour with a soft focus — rosy cheek, hazy eye, a gentle lip.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Where it sits
Soft glam with the edges deliberately softer still.
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
Diffusion. Every edge is blurred on purpose, which is harder than a sharp edge, not easier.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Rosy tones read very differently across the Moroccan range — on deeper skin the equivalent romantic warmth is terracotta and warm plum rather than pink.
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
Anything requiring graphic precision.
