As the year draws to an end, we raid our wardrobes for our social lineup of parties and brunches to ensure everything is on-point. But on most occasions, we leave the make-up decision for the last minute and end up confused over whether to keep it subtle or glowing. And with so many options to choose from, it can get very tricky. A quick search on the Internet about the latest make-up trends might throw the term “soft glam” at you, but let us tell you that it’s been a while since it has made its presence felt.

For the past couple of years, celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Jessica Alba, and now Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone and others, have been going soft glam. This look has risen as the antithesis to bold, Euphoria-inspired make-up which includes loads of glitter and shimmer.

What is soft glam?

Depending on who you ask, you might end up getting variet of defiitions bnut put in simple words it means: diffused, radiant, or neutral. Put simply, soft glam is make-up that looks quite literally, soft and natural. It doesn’t always consist of neutral and warm shades but even if it involves a bright scheme of colours, the application has to be seamless and all merged together in the most flawless manner.

How to get the soft glam look

The key to a soft glam makeup look is to have a great skincare routine — nothing but moisturise.

A soft glam look requires a luminous base. Skin that is hydrated, and supple will always be soft, even if it is covered with a full coverage foundation. Start your routine with a strobe cream and a sheer foundation that gives you an even skin tone. Then make a triangle under your eyes with a full-coverage concealer and blend it out properly so that it doesn’t have any creases that could settle into your skin. Seal the deal with a loose finishing powder that doesn’t let the makeup budge and gives your makeup a poreless finish.

For the cheeks. Instead of using a traditional contouring product, reach for a foundation or a concealer that is two shades deeper so that it doesn’t create a harsh look and your skin can peak through a little for a much natural look.
Ditch your powder products. Instead of a blush go for a cheek tint. Highlight the highest points with a strobe cream or liquid highlighter for a dewy finish.

Here’s how your favourite stars aced the look.
