Soft Glam vs Full Glam: What’s the Difference?
Soft glam is a pared-back version of full glam.
While both are polished and sophisticated makeup looks, soft uses more neutral tones and lighter application techniques.
A 7-Step Soft Glam Makeup Tutorial
Featuring timeless shades and subtle shimmers, our simple steps to achieving a natural soft glam makeup look could help you to dazzle at all the events in your calendar.
Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas
The first step in any successful makeup application is prepping your base.
After cleansing and toning, hydrate with our Future Renew Damage Reversal Day Cream. Approved by dermatologists, this moisturizer has been expertly formulated to support your skin’s natural repair process for a healthy-looking appearance. With SPF 25, it’s a skincare staple!
As soft glam has a natural finish, opt for a foundation that provides buildable coverage like our Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation. With light-reflecting particles and optical blurring technology, it helps to support a healthier-looking complexion.
Expert Tip: Less is more when creating a soft glam makeup look. Start by applying a light layer of foundation and adding more if desired. This approach also works well for bronzer and blusher.
Step 2: Add a Touch of Glow
The next step is to use bronzer to achieve a sun-kissed glow.
Using a clean sculpting brush, apply the bronzer to your cheeks, nose, forehead, chin and decolletage – areas of your face where the sun naturally hits.
Helping to define and enhance your natural beauty, the velvety formula of our No7 Pro Artist Soft Glow Cream Bronzer easily blends for an effortless application.
Step 3: Enhance Your Radiance
Rosy cheeks are a key component of soft glam.
To create a natural flush, use a clean blusher brush to blend a small amount of No7 Pro Artist Liquid Blush across your cheekbones so the color subtly diffuses. Lightweight and buildable, it’s ideal for creating a radiant, healthy-looking glow.
Expert Tip: When applying liquid blush, a little goes a long way. Starting with a light touch will allow you to gradually increase the intensity to your liking.
Step 4: Mattify and Set
Once all liquid and cream makeup is in place our No7 Pro Artist Loose Setting Powder can be applied.
Providing a flawless-looking matte finish, the finely milled powder blends seamlessly onto the skin to blur imperfections. Helping to absorb excess oil, it’s our secret to long-lasting makeup.
Step 5: Emphasize Your Eyes
Soft glam comes to life with the addition of shimmer which is where our No7 Pro Artist Eyeshadow 4-in-1 Pallete come in. With four easy-to-blend neutral shades, it's an effortless way to elevate.
For a classic look, use an eyeshadow brush to gently sweep the shade Aphrodite from the palette over your lid and up to your brow bone. Then add depth by blending Fawn into your eye crease, buffing out with a small fluffy brush.
The darker tone of Camera Click is perfect for creating an understated cat eye. Using an angled blending brush line your upper lash line before carefully adding a wing.
Finally dab Strobe Light into the inner corner of your eye with your clean index finger for a dazzling highlight.
Finish your soft glam eyeshadow look by transforming your lashes with our No7 Pro Artist That’s A Wrap Tubing Mascara. Highly pigmented, it’s been expertly designed to lift and lengthen for a wide-awake, high-impact finish.
Step 6: Groom Your Brows
Sculpting and setting your brows is an effortless way to achieve a well-groomed yet natural look.
Fill in any sparse areas using a brow pencil and then use our No7 Pro Artist Runaway Ready Brow Gel to brush your hair upwards, styling and setting them in place.
H3 Title: Step 7: Perfect Your Pout
The finishing touch to any soft glam makeup is a luxurious lip.
The beauty of this step is that it could transform your look in a simple swipe. Attending a daytime soiree? Opt for a modern nude or dusky pink. Invited to an elegant evening gathering? A classic red is the answer.
Start by defining your pout with the ultra-fine tip of our No7 Pro Artist Lip Liner. Follow with a nourishing application of our No7 Pro Artist Matte Lipstick for a high-impact, beautiful finish.
For added glamour, we also like to layer over a sweep of our No7 Pro Artist Lip Shine Oil. Non-sticky, the mirror-like glaze wonderfully accentuates your lips.
With your soft glam makeup look complete, you’ll be camera-ready and primed to dazzle at every event.
