Soft Glam

Step by step

1. 1

   Base

   Blend foundation from the center outward, then brighten under your eyes with concealer.

   Check the shade on your jaw in daylight. It should disappear.

2. 2

   Contour

   Draw a soft line under your cheekbones and along your jaw, then blend it up and out.

   Stop at about the middle of your eye. Blend until there is no line.

3. 3

   Setting powder

   Press a little translucent powder on your forehead, nose and chin with a puff or fluffy brush.

   Press, don’t swipe, so your base stays smooth.

4. 4

   Crease shade

   With a fluffy brush, sweep a medium shade back and forth in your crease.

   Small windshield-wiper moves give the softest blend.

5. 5

   Lid glow

   Pat a champagne or gold shimmer on the center of your lid with your fingertip.

   Fingers press shimmer on brighter than a brush.

6. 6

   Soft wing

   Draw a soft brown line along your top lashes and flick it out just a little at the end.

   Start small. You can always make the wing longer.

7. 7

   Mascara

   Look down into the mirror, wiggle the wand at the roots of your top lashes and sweep up.

   One coat for fresh, two for a little more.

8. 8

   Highlight

   Tap a little on the top of your cheekbones, down your nose bridge and on your cupid’s bow.

   Turn your face to the light to see exactly where it catches.

9. 9

   Blush

   Smile, and tap it onto the raised part of your cheeks, then blend up toward your temples.

   Blend it into the top of your contour so they melt together.

10. 10

    Gloss

    Swipe a glossy color over your lips, a little more in the center.

    A touch of gloss in the center makes lips look fuller.
