Natural or glam makeup: how to choose?

Natural or glam: this choice comes up at every big occasion. Both have their strengths, and the right style depends as much on the event as on your personality. Here is how to decide with confidence.

Natural makeup: beauty enhanced

Natural makeup relies on a fresh complexion, a soft gaze and nude lips. It makes you look rested and radiant without seeming made up. It is the ideal choice for a daytime wedding, an important meeting or an authentic shoot.

Glam makeup: to make an impression

Bolder, glam makeup defines the eyes, sculpts the complexion and dares more intense lips. It suits evenings, galas and events where the lighting is strong and you want a more striking effect.

How to decide

• The occasion: daytime and natural, evening and glam.
• The lighting: the stronger it is, the bolder the makeup can be.
• Your comfort: pick the style in which you feel like yourself.

The importance of lighting

Lighting transforms makeup. In daylight, an overly heavy look can seem artificial, while in the evening, makeup that is too subtle may disappear. A professional adapts the intensity to the lighting of your event.

The right makeup is neither the most subtle nor the most dramatic, it is the one that fits the moment.

The professional's role

Hesitating between two styles is normal. A makeup artist guides you based on your complexion, your outfit and the occasion. They can even blend both worlds for a result that is both natural and polished.
