How to look awake with makeup
Placement matters more than product. Where it goes decides the result far more than which brand it came from.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
How to do it
- Read the face in front of you rather than following a fixed diagram.
- Build in thin layers so a mistake stays correctable.
- Check the result in daylight before committing.
- Stop earlier than feels finished.
The Moroccan adjustment
Moroccan light and heat both punish heavy application, so the local adjustment is nearly always less product placed more precisely.
What goes wrong
Following a template drawn for a different face. Every fixed pattern suits the face it was designed on.
