Hey Beauty Lovers,
Did you see the eclipse Monday? 🌒
As eclipse fever calms down we find ourselves getting into the full swing of spring.
And what better way to embrace the season than with another spring 2024 makeup trend.
So, today's tutorial is of Soft Glam Makeup.
You can catch my video tutorial here
What is Soft Glam Makeup?

The easiest way to understand Soft Glam makeup is to know that it is the antithesis of Glam Makeup.
Glam makeup is very bold and dramatic; strong eyeshadow and dark liner, false lashes, sharp contour, intense lips.
Soft Glam is the exact opposite.
And Spring 2024 has its own twist on soft glam showing us how to go extra pretty pink for a flush and embracing facial features like freckles and moles.
What Do I Need to Get a Soft Glam Makeup Look?

It's not too hard to achieve a Soft Glam makeup look.
And it definitely takes less time than a full-on glam one.
For foundation it's best to go with a light to medium coverage with a natural finish.
A tinted moisturizer would work great as well.
Eyes are better off with light browns or neutral shadows.
Even a soft sweep of a shimmery beige shadow all over lids and brows would work.
For eyeliner, ditch the heavy black and go for a rich or chocolate brown.
It will still define the eyes, but with a less intense effect.
Lashes, where full glam utilizes false lashes, soft glam is all about natural lashes with a good dose of volumizing mascara.
A mascara that adds some curl is also a plus.
Face makeup should be seamlessly blended.
Contour should be light and soft, no harsh lines.
A highlighter with a bit of a shimmer or pearl finish is perfect for soft glam.
A big part spring 2024's take on soft glam is pretty pink blush. Still make sure to blend it well.
Lips should be a neutral pink or nude shade, leave the brights and reds for glam-glam.
A fun part of 2024's take on soft glam is playing up natural features like freckles and moles.

How Can I Get a Soft Glam Makeup Look?
I've got a tutorial for you right here below and you can also watch my video tutorial here
1. Brown Shadows & Blending Brushes: Start by running a matte soft brown shadow through the crease of the eye. Use a blending brush to soften all the edges.
Next, apply a medium brown shimmer shadow all over your lid.
Dust a matte beige eyeshadow along your brow bone.
Blend the seams of all of the shadows until there are no harsh edges and the shadows blend seamlessly into one another.
2. Brown & Cream Liners: Next take a chocolate brown kohl liner and run it along your top lash line. Create just the tiniest wing, nothing intense.
Blend it out with a blending brush until you get just a soft diffused line.
With a cream colored eyeliner pencil trace along your lower water line.
3. Mascara + Concealer + Contour: Use a fanning mascara on your top and bottom lashes to create a natural, wide-eyed effect.
Clean up under the eyes with a concealer and make sure to blend it into the rest of your face makeup so everything melds together nicely.
Take a matte light brown contour shade and dust it under your cheek bones. Blend it out until you are left with a light shadow of shade.
4. Highlighter & Blush: Dust a shimmery rose gold highlighter onto the tops of your cheek bones, on your forehead, and down the bridge of your nose.
Swirl a generous amount of pink blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend with the rest of your face makeup.
5. Add Freckles & Lipstick: You can purchase a liner specifically designed to create freckles or by a stamp liquid liner to create different shaped 'moles'. But I just used a deep bronze eyeliner pencil and dotted it around my nose, softening the dots by tapping them with my fingertip.
I did the same thing to create moles.
Finally, take a nude lipstick and apply it to your lips, softening with your fingertip as needed.
When we put all these steps together we will get...
Our finished Soft Glam makeup look!
You can see the contrast between soft glam and "regular" glam.
Soft glam is more subtle and a bit more wearable for everyday.
The eyes are still a major player in soft glam but with more browns and neutrals for the eyeshadows and eyeliners it gives a softer, more feminine effect.
And blending is your best friend when creating a soft diffused look like this one.
The extra pink blush really gives this look a pretty, almost ethereal feel.
Playing up (or creating) freckles and moles on the face really embraces the natural beauty of the skin and gives a playful vibe to this soft glam trend.
