Soft Glam Makeup Tutorial
Here’s an easy soft glam makeup look that is flattering on just about everyone –
- Step 1: Pick a natural-looking base
To excel in the soft glam look, one of the most important things to keep in mind is to ensure that your skin looks natural. So, start by applying a dewy primer to prep your skin and create a smooth canvas for the rest of your face makeup. We recommend skipping the foundation and going in straight with the concealer for a natural finish. You can use a lighter shade to create a brightening effect. However, if you wish to apply foundation, opt for sheer coverage that you can build up. Then, lock the base of your soft makeup look with powder to control excess oil, shine, sebum and sweat.
- Step 2: Colour and highlight your cheeks
Bring life to your face by adding a hint of colour. Apply rosy nude blush to the apples of your cheeks and highlight the high points of your face such as your cheekbones, bridge of your nose and cupid’s bow to get that perfect rosy glow makeup.
- Step 3: Shape your brows well
Your eyebrows can make or break your soft makeup look. Hence, don’t forget to tame bushy brows or fill in sparse eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.
- Step 4: Paint your eyelids
Apply a simple metallic eyeshadow to slay your Rose Day makeup on the go. See to it that you use light, rosy colours to get the desired effect.
- Step 5: Get the soft eyeliner look
To ensure that your Rose Day makeup looks elevated yet soft, go for the soft eyeliner look. Ditch the cat eye look and draw a thin wing to lift your eyes. You can also use your eyeshadow as eyeliner if you want to go for a more diffused look.
- Step 6: Sculpt your lashes
Lift and sculpt your lashes with a volumising mascara. Don’t apply multiple coats. Just one or two strokes should be fine for your soft glam makeup.
- Step 7: Play up your pout with neutral shades
Use a hydrating lip balm to heal, protect and soothe your pout. Now, remember, one of the defining characteristics of a soft glam makeup look is a neutral lipstick shade. So, this is your time to skip the bold reds, maroons, and browns and stick to shades like corals, pinks, and nudes to get that subtle glow. We recommend using a long-lasting, matte lipstick to keep your pout coloured throughout the day.
- Step 8: Set your Rose Day makeup look in place
To make sure that your Rose Day makeup lasts all day long, lock and set with a setting spray. This will prevent fading or smudging and will intensify your soft glam makeup instantly. Opting for the makeup extender setting spray also prevents a powdery or cakey makeup finish.
