What you need
Steps
Cleanse and moisturise your face, then let the moisturiser sink in for a few minutes. Apply a thin layer of primer so the makeup grips and lasts longer.
Dot colour corrector only where you need it, such as under the eyes or on redness. Pat it in with your fingers or a small brush and keep the layer thin.
Fill in your brows with light strokes, following your natural shape. Brush through with a spoolie to soften any harsh lines.
Apply foundation in thin layers, starting in the centre of your face and blending outward. Add bronzer to the cheekbones, temples and jawline and blend well.
Place concealer under the eyes and on any spots, then blend with a damp sponge. Tap rather than drag so the product stays put.
Press setting powder into the areas that crease or get oily, like under the eyes and the T-zone. Use a light hand so the skin still looks fresh.
Build a soft eyeshadow look with a light shade on the lid and a deeper shade in the crease. Blend the edges, then apply mascara to top and bottom lashes.
Line and fill your lips with a shade close to your natural tone, then add lipstick. Apply false lashes if you want extra definition.
Finish with a setting spray, holding the bottle about 20 cm from your face. Let it dry fully before touching your face.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep every layer thin, since soft glam looks heavy fast if you pile on foundation and powder.
Blend bronzer and concealer with a damp sponge for a smoother finish.
Test lash glue on your hand first and let it get tacky before applying the lashes.
Clean your brushes and sponge regularly to avoid breakouts.
Questions
How long does soft glam makeup last?
With primer, powder and setting spray it can last most of the day. Touch up powder in oily areas if needed.
Do I need false lashes for a soft glam look?
No. Mascara alone works for a more natural finish. Add lashes only if you want more definition.
Can beginners do this routine?
Yes. Work through the steps in order and keep each layer light. Practise the eye blending a few times.
