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
Softness that still photographs, which is the difficult part.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Frequently requested by Moroccan brides for a civil ceremony alongside a traditional look for the evening.
One rule carries across every look on this site: check undertone rather than depth. Olive and golden skin greys against neutral and pink-based products however well the depth matches.
When it is the wrong choice
A fourteen-hour photographed traditional wedding.
