To soften

For an even softer daytime glam, omit the 'Deep Mocha' #5D3E3A entirely, focusing on 'Warm Mauve' #CE9986 and 'Rich Cedar' #89594B for depth, and 'Sheer Sand' #DDBCAB for a lid highlight.

To go bolder

To lean into a more intense glam for an evening event, deepen 'Deep Mocha' #5D3E3A more dramatically in the outer corner and connect it further onto the lower lash line. A slightly darker lip in a similar nude-rose family could also work beautifully.

Photographs best

The balance of matte definition and soft shimmer ensures that this look photographs beautifully, highlighting your eyes without appearing overdone or losing dimension in flash photography. The warm tones will prevent any washout.

Wedding-day tip

To elevate this for a more traditional bridal look, consider adding a very fine, almost invisible, liquid liner along the upper lash line before mascara. A delicate, wispy lash can also enhance the bridal feel without being too dramatic.

Avoid

Steering clear of harsh, cool-toned grays or overly bright, contrasting shimmers will maintain the 'Soft Glam' essence and harmonize with your warm undertone. Keep lines diffused.

Step Three

Eye Color Placement

01

Transition

Using a fluffy blending brush, sweep 'Warm Mauve' #CE9986 — matte — through the natural crease and slightly above, diffusing the edges softly for a seamless transition.

02

Crease

With a slightly smaller, dense blending brush, define the outer V and crease with 'Rich Cedar' #89594B — matte —, building intensity and blending inwards towards the center of the lid, creating depth.

03

Outer Corner

Using a pencil brush or a precise smudge brush, press 'Deep Mocha' #5D3E3A — matte — onto the very outer corner of the upper lash line and into the deepest part of the outer V, extending slightly for a subtle lift. Blend meticulously to avoid harsh lines.

04

Lid

Press 'Sheer Sand' #DDBCAB — shimmer — onto the center of the mobile lid using a flat, synthetic brush, gently tapping to build payoff. This creates a soft luminosity without being overly glittery.

05

Center Lid Pop

For an added touch of refined glow, a tiny dab of 'Sheer Sand' #DDBCAB — shimmer — can be pressed onto the very highest point of the lid, directly above the iris, with your fingertip.

06

Inner Corner Highlight

A delicate touch of 'Soft Vanilla' #F1E6CC — matte — blended into the innermost corner of the eye will brighten and open the eye beautifully.

07

Brow Bone

Apply 'Soft Vanilla' #F1E6CC — matte — just under the arch of the brow, blending downwards to lift and refine the brow area.

08

Lower Lash Line

Gently smoke out the lower lash line by applying 'Nude Rose' #BD9282 — matte — with a small, dense brush, keeping it close to the lash roots for a soft, diffused effect. Blend it into the outer corner's deeper tones.

09

Liner

For a 'Soft Glam' approach, opt for a gel liner in a soft brown or espresso shade, smudged delicately along the upper lash line, or use 'Deep Mocha' #5D3E3A — matte — applied wet for a diffused line.

10

Lash

Finish with two generous coats of volumizing mascara on both upper and lower lashes. Individual or natural-looking strip lashes would further enhance this elegant look, focusing on length and wispy fullness.

Face Placement

Step Five

Lip Pairing

nude-rose

satin

A creamy, satin-finish lipstick in a 'your-lips-but-better' nude-rose shade will beautifully complement the warm, soft tones of the eyes. This choice maintains sophistication and avoids competing with the overall harmony of the look.
