How To Get The Soft Glam Look

Makeup trends tend to move in waves, from brash, bold and ostentatious looks to softer, more natural-looking tones.

The key to a self makeup course is to help people learn the techniques they need to carry out the looks they want, but part of that is understanding what makeup means to each person.

The soft glam look is as much a philosophy on makeup as it is a particular style, it is about a natural-looking style that does not rely on a statement shade but instead uses earthy, fleshy tones to bring out the sparkle in your skin.

It is also a style on the rise according to trend reports, as autumn tends to bring out the desire for earthier, more natural shades.

Here are some top tips to make soft glam work for you.

It’s All About Your Skin
Your skin is the statement piece of a soft glam look, so you need to prep your skin and provide yourself with the best possible base for amazing makeup.

A gentle exfoliator helps to unclog pores and buff away dead skin, and add to that a moisturiser that helps to firm and lift your skin. Finally add a primer, which is the secret to the airbrushed effect synonymous with soft glam, and helps your foundation stick.

Avoid Full Coverage Foundation
The key to the soft glow look is not to cover up your skin, so opt instead for a skin tint. This will hide any blemishes but not cover up your skin’s natural tone, giving you a gorgeous natural glow.

Contour Subtly
Instead of using a solid powder contour, you will use a lighter contour cream or stick to help define your cheeks and bring warmth into your face. To enhance the effect, add a tiny dab of blush onto the apples of your cheeks.

Opt For Nude Lipsticks
Moisturised, natural-looking lips are the order of the day here, so opt for a matte, nude shade or opt for a light gloss or sheen, which plump up your lips without adding a statement shade.
