While Indians celebrate the season of weddings and the heavy makeup looks that require a LOT of product, the holiday glam is the exact opposite, which is minimalistic, glossy and radiant. This just could be our new aesthetic obsession, and turns out it’s the camera’s favourite look as well. The whimsical soft girl glam includes a dewy baby-pink flushed cheeks, glossy lips, soft lashes, and a light shimmery eye look. The soft girl glam puts heavy emphasis on the base and skincare before you get started to achieve a fresh and natural look could just be the key to being a holiday princess.
Here’s how you can embrace the holiday season with our picks below.
First Step To Glow
There’s no denying the benefits a great moisturiser can provide to the skin, from immense hydration to being a best friend to your next steps, we suggest you opt for a moisturiser that contains peptides and the perfect glow. Wishful Honey Whip Peptide Moisturiser has quality ingredients such as collagen, cica, manuka honey and more that helps reduce the redness giving your skin an even complexion, making it the ideal first step for a soft glam appearance.
Tints Over Foundations
The holiday season could be heavy on your stomachs and to-do lists, but one thing that doesn’t need to be heavy is your base. Tints, specifically now, are gaining popularity and many top brands in the industry are perfecting the formula that gives you that skin-like finish while minimising pores and imperfections. Tints are extremely light-in weight and come with added benefits. Our favourites for the holiday season would be the Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter and the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear.
A Hint Of Blush
A soft girl glam isn’t soft without the most important makeup essential; blush. A light pink hue that grazes the cheek, highlighting the features and truly accentuating the high points of your face. The sole reason why holiday seasons revolve around a touch of colour. We love the collection of Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, the shade Hope is a subtle nude mauve colour, that is perfect to compliment your soft girl glam aesthetic.
Eyeshadow
If you are the type of person who’d get confused between a sunset or soft girl look, Sunkissed by Kay Beauty is the eye palette to have. Play with nudes, pinks or oranges to find your suitable glam. The subtle shimmers make it an everyday wear palette as well.
Mascara
Moving away from matte black mascaras, and embracing the nudes and the pinks is what a holiday soft girl glam is all about. Complete your eye look with our favourite Chocolate Mascara by Too Faced, for a muted and yet lifted and voluminous eyelashes that brings together your eye look.
Lip Gloss
A holiday glam is never complete without the finisher, we’d recommend you stay out of the lipstick game altogether and choose a long lasting lip gloss. Huda Beauty’s Faux Filter Extra Shine Lip Gloss in the shade Bombshell is all you’ll ever need to pull out ‘I’m on a holiday’ card, and still slay the vibe.
