Soft glam makeup, step by step

Soft glam is a polished but wearable look: medium-coverage foundation, neutral eyeshadow blended into the crease and lower lash line, a little champagne shimmer on the lid, soft bronzer and blush, a touch of highlight and a nude or rosy lip. It works for events, photos and day-to-night.

  1. 1

    Flawless base

    Create a smooth, even finish so the rest of the look can shine.

    • Cleanse and moisturize so products glide on.
    • Use a hydrating or pore-filling primer, whichever your skin needs.
    • Blend a medium-coverage foundation with a sponge or brush.
    • Conceal dark circles and blemishes.
  2. 2

    Soft eye definition

    Define the eyes with neutral shadow and soft blending.

    • Sweep a neutral base shade over the whole lid.
    • Blend soft brown or taupe into the crease.
    • Smudge the same shade lightly along the lower lash line.
    • Apply two coats of mascara to top and bottom lashes.
  3. 3

    Light shimmer and highlight

    A little shimmer adds dimension to the eyes.

    • Tap champagne or soft gold shimmer onto the center of the lid.
    • Brighten the inner corners.
    • Blend so there are no harsh lines.
  4. 4

    Warm glow and soft contour

    Sculpt the face gently and add warmth.

    • Sweep bronzer under the cheekbones and along the hairline.
    • Blend a soft pink or peach blush from the apples upward.
    • Add a little highlighter to the cheekbones.
  5. 5

    Lips

    Finish with a soft, romantic lip.

    • Exfoliate and moisturize the lips first.
    • Optional: outline with a liner close to your lipstick.
    • Apply a nude or rosy pink lipstick or gloss.
