Soft Glam vs. Full Glam: What’s the Difference?

As a makeup artist, this is one of the most common questions I get asked: What’s the difference between soft glam and full glam? It’s a great question, especially when you’re trying to choose the right look for your event or photoshoot. Let’s break it down in simple terms.

Soft Glam

Soft glam is all about enhancing your natural beauty in a subtle yet polished way. Think of it as a look that highlights your features without overpowering them. It’s not about bold colors or dramatic eyeliner—it’s about soft, blended tones and a radiant, natural finish.

That being said, don’t mistake soft glam for being “less” makeup! It’s still a full face of makeup, but it’s applied in light, seamless layers that last all night and photograph beautifully. A soft glam look typically steers away from bold eye makeup or lips, sticking to neutral, earthy tones. The result? A timeless, elegant glow that works for any occasion.

Full Glam

Full glam, on the other hand, is where the drama comes in. This look allows you to play with bold colors, smokey eyes, defined eyeliner, or even a vibrant lip. It’s all about making a statement while still complementing your features.

Full glam doesn’t mean overdone—it means taking your personal style to the next level. Whether it’s a sharp winged liner, shimmering eyeshadow, or a pop of red on the lips, full glam is the perfect choice for big events or when you’re ready to embrace a bolder, more defined look.

How to Choose

Not sure which to pick? It all depends on the vibe you’re going for. If you want something timeless and soft that enhances your beauty subtly, go for soft glam. If you’re looking to make a striking impression and turn heads, full glam might be your go-to.

Ultimately, both styles are about helping you feel your best—you can’t go wrong with either!
