MAGIC STEP 1: Prime to perfection!
Once you’ve cleaned your face and moisturized your complexion using my award-winning Magic Cream moisturizer, apply one of my ICONIC primers to your face to create a seamless-looking canvas for your makeup. My world-famous Wonderglow will give you a smoother-looking, goddess-worthy complexion in seconds, while my Invisible UV Flawless Primer with SPF 50 is a poreless primer and sunscreen in one!
MAGIC STEP 2: Put your base in place!
Once you’ve primed and prepped, follow on with colour corrector, concealer and foundation to conceal any dark spots and circles and smooth and perfect the look of your complexion! My Airbrush Flawless Foundation is great for flawless, poreless looking, full coverage, while my Beautiful Skin Foundation offers medium coverage and a healthy-looking radiance!
MAGIC STEP 3: Add some definition!
After you’ve created your base, it’s time to add some dreamy definition! Soft glam makeup is all about looking effortless so you’ll want to avoid a super-sculpted contour look, and aim for a sunkissed glow instead! My award-winning Airbrush Bronzer with hydrating hyaluronic acid comes in four different shades to perfectly match your complexion and create a buildable glow while warming up your face and softly defining the look of your features! Follow on with my Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter dusted on the tops of your cheekbones for a perfectly ILLUMINATED, soft-focus finish!
MAGIC STEP 4: Beautify your eyes!
The next step in your soft glam makeup routine is to create dreamy, beautified eyes that mesmerize! For this step, avoid any strong and graphic eye makeup and create a softly diffused eyeshadow look instead. After perfecting your supermodel brows by following my guide to how to use brow gel, create a soft gaze with one of my ICONIC eyeshadows! My Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette features six shades of easy-to-wear nude eyeshadows for a modern matte eye makeup look that perfectly channels soft glam!
MAGIC STEP 5: Create full and fluttery lashes!
Once you’ve applied your softly diffused eyeshadow, it’s time to complement your new eye look by creating FULL and FLUTTERY lashes! My MIRACLE-MAKING Pillow Talk Push Up! Lashes will give you instant length, lift and volume, while my ICONIC Full Fat Lashes is a 5-in-1 mascara that creates buildable lash drama with a flirty, fluttery finish!!
Tilbury tip! Darlings, if like me, you simply can’t leave the house without rocking some eyeliner, choose a dialed-down powder pencil like The Classic in Classic Brown!
MAGIC STEP 6: Create a soft, kissable pout!
When it comes to soft glam makeup, choose your favorite nude-toned shades to create a neutral and natural-looking pout! First, roll my Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir over your lips to hydrate your pout with its groundbreaking ingredients. Then, add some colour using one of my luxurious and long-lasting lipsticks. My ICONIC Pillow Talk lipstick is formulated for every age and skin tone, leaving you with a sumptuous pillow-y lip in seconds!
MAGIC STEP 7: Add some blush!
One of my ULTIMATE beauty tips is to apply your blush right at the end of your makeup application so you can easily see how much color you need! Soft glam makeup is all about creating a naturally flushed cheek look, so for this step, apply your chosen blush in buildable layers and blend, blend, blend! For a RADIANT glow, look no further than my Cheek to Chic two-tone pearlescent pink blusher. Or choose my Pillow Talk Lip & Cheek Glow for a rosebud-pink cream blush and lip tint in one!
MAGIC STEP 8: Lock in your lock!
Once you’ve created your soft natural glam makeup, don’t forget to lock your look in place for RADIANT beauty that lasts all day! My Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray is an oil-free, lightweight and hydrating setting spray that primes and sets your makeup in place for up to 16 hours! For the best results, spritz your finished look from 6-8 inches away.
Tilbury tip! Take my Travel-Sized Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray out with you, and reapply to give your soft glam makeup look a MAGICAL refresh!
