How to Achieve Just the Perfect Soft Glam Makeup Look

Step 1: Prep and Prime (Creating a Luminous Base) - Setting the Stage for Radiance

  • Skincare First: Begin with a thoroughly cleansed and moisturized face. Allow your moisturizer to fully absorb before applying any makeup. Hydration is key to achieving a dewy, soft glam finish.
  • Targeted Priming: If you have specific concerns like large pores or oily areas, use a targeted primer in those areas.
  • ICONIC London Prep-Set-Glow Application: Shake the Prep-Set-Glow well before use. Keep the bottle around 8-10 inches away from your face and mist evenly for a soft glam makeup look. You can also apply it with a damp beauty sponge for a more concentrated glow.
  • Layering Technique: For an extra boost of luminosity, mix a few drops of the Prep-Set-Glow with your foundation.

  • Shade Matching: Ensure your “Natasha Denona HY-GLAM Powder Foundation” available at LOOKFANTASTIC, perfectly matches your skin tone. 
  • Brush Technique: Use a large, fluffy powder brush for light to medium coverage. For fuller coverage, use a denser, kabuki-style brush. Apply the foundation in circular motions for a seamless finish.
  • Build Coverage Gradually: Apply the foundation in thin layers, building coverage where needed. Focus on areas with redness or discoloration.
  • Concealer (Optional): If you have dark circles or blemishes, apply a lightweight concealer before your powder foundation. Set the concealer with a small amount of translucent powder.

Step 3: Eyeshadow Magic (Adding Depth and Dimension) - Creating a Captivating Gaze

  • Eye Primer: Apply an eyeshadow primer to your eyelids to prevent creasing and enhance the longevity of your eyeshadow.
  • Kylie Cosmetics Bronze Pressed Powder Palette: Start with a neutral shade from the palette as a base color, applying it all over your eyelid. Use a medium shade to define your crease, blending it gently with a fluffy blending brush. Add a deeper shade to the outer corner of your eye for a soft glam makeup depth.
  • MAC Powder Kiss Soft Matte Eyeshadow: Use a small, precise brush to apply the “MAC Powder Kiss eyeshadow” at LOOKFANTASTIC to your lower lash line or to add a pop of color to your inner corner.
  • Blending is Key: Blend your eyeshadow seamlessly to avoid harsh lines. Always use a clean blending brush to soften any loose edges.
  • Eyeliner (Optional): Apply a thin line of brown or black eyeliner to your upper lash line for added definition.
