A full glam makeup look is a great way to enhance your features and make a statement on special occasions. Whether you want to rock a shimmery cut crease, a classic smokey eye, or a bold lip, a full glam makeup look can help you achieve your desired effect. However, creating a full glam makeup look can be tricky if you don’t know the right steps and techniques. Here are some tips to help you master a full glam makeup look with ease.
- Prep your face. Before applying any makeup, you need to prepare your skin for a flawless base. This means cleansing, moisturizing, and priming your face to smooth and blur any imperfections, as well as increase the longevity of your makeup. A primer can also help to minimize the appearance of pores, fine lines, and redness. Choose a primer that suits your skin type and concerns, such as the L’Oréal Paris Prime Lab Up to 24H Pore Minimizer¹ for large pores or the L’Oréal Paris Prime Lab Up to 24H Redness Reducer¹ for redness.
- Perfect your complexion. After priming your face, you need to apply a foundation and concealer that provide full coverage and a natural finish. A full coverage foundation can help to even out your skin tone and hide any blemishes or discoloration. A concealer can help to brighten your under-eye area and cover any spots or scars that the foundation didn’t cover. Choose a foundation and concealer that match your skin tone and blend them well with a damp makeup sponge or a brush. For example, you can try the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Up to 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation² and the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Full Wear Concealer Waterproof, Full Coverage² for a long-lasting and flawless complexion.
- Contour away. To add some dimension and definition to your face, you need to contour your cheekbones, forehead, nose, and jawline with a bronzer or a contour powder that is two shades darker than your skin tone. Use an angled brush to apply the product along the hollows of your cheeks, the temples of your forehead, the sides of your nose, and the edges of your jawline. Then, use a fluffy brush to blend the product well and create a natural shadow effect.
- Add some glow. To highlight your high points and make your skin look radiant, you need to apply a highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the cupid’s bow of your lip, and the inner corners of your eyes. You can also apply some highlighter on your brow bone and the center of your eyelid for some extra sparkle. Choose a highlighter that suits your skin tone and has a shimmery or metallic finish. For example, you can try the L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glow Nude Highlighter Palette³ for a versatile and luminous glow.
- Sculpt your brows. To frame your eyes and balance your face, you need to fill in and shape your brows with a brow pencil or a pomade that matches your hair color. Use short strokes to mimic the natural hairs and create a fuller and more defined brow shape. Then, use a spoolie brush to comb through your brows and blend the product evenly. You can also use a clear or tinted brow gel to set your brows in place and add some volume.
- Grab your eyeshadow. To create a glamorous eye look, you need to apply eyeshadow that complements your eye color and outfit. You can choose from different eyeshadow styles, such as a cut crease, a smokey eye, or a halo eye, depending on your preference and skill level. The key is to use different shades of eyeshadow that create contrast and depth on your eyelid. You can also use some glitter or shimmer eyeshadow to add some sparkle and drama to your eye look. For example, you can try the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Pocket Palette Eye Shadow in Boudoir Charme for a sultry smokey eye or the L’Oréal Paris Brilliant Eyes Shimmer Liquid Eye Shadow Makeup in Amethyst Quartz for a dazzling cut crease.
- Wing it out. To define your lash line and make your eyes look bigger and more awake, you need to apply eyeliner on your upper lash line and create a winged effect at the outer corner of your eye. You can use a liquid or gel eyeliner that has a precise applicator or brush tip for more control and accuracy. For example, you can try the L’Oréal Paris Matte Signature Liquid Dip Eyeliner for an intense and matte winged liner.
- Line the waterline. To add some drama and intensity to your eye look, you need to apply eyeliner on your lower waterline and lash line. You can use a black or brown eyeliner for a smokey effect or a nude or white eyeliner for a brightening effect. You can also use some eyeshadow to smudge the eyeliner and create a softer and more blended look. For example, you can try the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24HR Pencil Eyeliner for a long-wearing and smudge-proof liner.
- Curl your lashes. To lift and curl your lashes, you need to use an eyelash curler and gently squeeze your lashes at the base, the middle, and the tip. This will help to open up your eyes and make them look more alert and expressive.
- Apply mascara and false lashes. To finish off your eye look, you need to apply mascara and false lashes for some extra volume and length. Mascara can help to coat and separate your lashes and make them look thicker and darker. False lashes can help to enhance your eye shape and make your eye look more dramatic and glamorous. Choose a mascara and false lashes that suit your eye shape and preference. For example, you can try the L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Instant Lift Washable Mascara for a lengthening and defining effect or the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Washable Mascara for a volumizing and fluffing effect. For false lashes, you can try the L’Oréal Paris Air Volume Mega Mascara Lightweight Mega Volume Washable for a natural and wispy effect or the L’Oréal Paris Bambi Eye False Lash Effect Washable Mascara for a dramatic and curled effect.
- Choose a bold lip. To complete your full glam makeup look, you need to choose a bold lip color that matches your eye look and outfit. You can go for a classic red lip, a trendy nude lip, or a fun pink lip, depending on your mood and occasion. Choose a lip product that has a long-lasting and pigmented formula, such as the L’Oréal Paris Rouge Signature Matte Lip Stain or the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Satin Lipstick. You can also use a lip liner to outline and fill in your lips for more definition and precision.
And there you have it! A full glam makeup look that will make you stand out from the crowd and turn heads wherever you go. Remember to have fun with your makeup and experiment with different colors and styles to find what works best for you. And don’t forget to set your makeup with a setting spray or powder to make it last all night long!
