Achieve that soft, glowing filter look with makeup designed to make your skin look naturally radiant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is Soft Glam?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may think the key term in the phrase \u201csoft glam\u201d is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">glamor<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, the essence of this look comes from the word <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">soft<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an interview with Today, makeup artist Katie Mellinger refers to soft glam as \u201cmakeup application where there are no harsh lines.\u201d<sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Harsh lines can refer to eyeliner, lip liner, or contour lines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A soft glam makeup look boosts the look of smooth, youthful, b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ouncy, glowy skin while surrounding makeup aspects attempt to enhance an effervescent feel. All in all, soft glam means your face looks healthy, nourished, and effortlessly fabulous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#1 Start with Soft Glam Skin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While making yo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ur skin type appear healthy and supple is a plus for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">any <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">makeup look, the soft glam aesthetic especially benefits from a well-nourished skin base. Your skin care and foundation will be the glow-enhancing basis of your entire shimmer look.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Skin Care<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to take the soft glam look to heart? It all starts with soft skin. Promoting healthy skin habits in your everyday routine can help to make the process as effortless as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Before putting on makeup, consider applying the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sunscreen <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Taking preventative action against skin damage by applying sunscreen daily is one of the most beneficial steps you can take for your skin.<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SPF can protect your skin from harmful UV rays and associated skin damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Moisturizer <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Your skin craves moisture, and topical cream can give your skin the nutrients it needs to appear strong and full of life.<sup>3<\/sup><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Makeup primer <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Prep your face with a thin layer of <a href=\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/how-to-sweat-proof-your-makeup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sweat proof makeup<\/a> primer. Primer not only fights the appearance of caking, blemishes, or wrinkles, but also protects your pores from becoming blocked with makeup products.<sup>4<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Clean skin = happy skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Foundation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With healthy, hydrated skin on your side, the use of foundation helps to elevate and balance the look. Feel free to use your own preferred foundation, but consider a few tips when applying:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use sheer foundation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While healthy skin can look glamorous in any foundation, light wear or sheer foundation can let your dewy skin shine. Full-coverage makeup can help cover imperfections or blemishes, but sheer foundation achieves the \u201csoft\u201d skin look more easily.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use concealer to brighten <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a brightening concealer under your inner eyes and along the outer edges of your eyes for a natural, lifted look.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Contouring <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should feel encouraged to let your natural features speak for themselves with soft, blended contours. A water-based formula like the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Illamasqua Gel Sculpt Contour is an ideal option to create flawless shadows and accentuate your natural features.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>#2 Add Shimmery Soft Glam Eyes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soft glam eyes dazzle and elevate the rest of your look by adding subtle shimmer and boldness. Eye makeup can undoubtedly make a statement, but for a soft glam look, you don\u2019t want your eyeshadow to overshadow your radiant glow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try some of these tricks for inviting soft glam eyes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use shimmery shadow <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twinkling neutral-toned shadows can help you achieve a natural-looking finish. The shimmers can make the shadow appear \u201cwet,\u201d which allows for a dewy, natural, glowing look.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use softer liners <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of sharp black liners, choose a liner that matches your natural eyelash color and blends easily. Choose a brown pencil or gel and soften it out for a more subtle finish.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Opt for natural-looking lashes <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 While individual false lashes can provide a fuller, fluffier look if desired, a superb non-clumping mascara can give you more than enough lift and definition on its own. The Fenty Beauty Full Frontal Volume, Lift &amp; Curl Mascara has plenty of power to uplift your natural lashes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Brows<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural brows have become a coveted commodity lately, especially for natural makeup looks like soft glam. Give your brows a shakeup by giving them a lift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steps for a full, fluffy brow:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with a brow primer and conditioner to create a strong base that won\u2019t fade.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brush your eyebrows up and out (diagonally) for a chic, lifted look.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using an eyebrow pencil, fill in gaps with soft, gentle strokes for a naturally fuller look.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set brows with setting spray or a clear brow gel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To accomplish this step in a cinch, opt for a<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/one-swipe-brow-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one swipe brow products <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bundle that offers all the brow goodies in one, such as the Billion Dollar Brows Condition, Color &amp; Control Bundle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#3 Finish the Look with Soft Glam Lips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soft glam lips should look plump and plush\u2014like perfect little pillows. However, you do have some options here. Using bold lipstick could help put the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">glam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in \u201csoft glam,\u201d but you can also opt for a more natural lip instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your lips looking soft and supple with one of these options:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tinted lip balm,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for an ultra-natural look<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Satin lipstick <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in a light nude shade, like the Anastasia Beverly Hills Satin Lipstick in Butterscotch<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Matte lipstick<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a darker nude, like the Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipstick in Velvet<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Take Glam into Your Own Hands with FabFitFun<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soft glam can combine a love for makeup with love for your natural features.
