Base & Canvas
The foundation I send friends to first for soft glam. Buildable medium coverage that still looks like skin, with that lit-from-within finish. Press it in with a damp sponge and it looks so expensive.
GIORGIO ARMANI - Luminous Silk Foundation
Less a concealer, more a brightening pen. A few clicks on the inner corners and around the nose and you look awake in ten seconds. The one I'd keep in my bag for touch-ups.
YSL BEAUTY - Touche Éclat Awakening Concealer Click Pen
My pick when you want coverage that never looks cakey. It's creamy, a little skincare-y, and stays put under the eyes. Go one shade lighter than your foundation for a soft lift.
KOSAS - Revealer Concealer
The primer I'd start with before a long day. It's a hydrating gel that makes foundation grip instead of slide, so the glow is still there at dinner. A tiny bit goes a long way.
MILK MAKEUP - Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer
The concealer I'd recommend for darker circles. A tiny dot covers a lot, it stays creamy and it doesn't settle into lines. Pat it in with your ring finger.
NARS - Radiant Creamy Concealer
Bronze & Glow
The easiest way to warm up your whole face. Mix a drop or two into moisturizer or foundation for a soft, believable tan, never orange. So good in winter when skin looks a little washed out.
DRUNK ELEPHANT - D-Bronzi Bronzing Drops with Peptides
Cream to sculpt, powder to set, all in one compact. It's the duo I'd pick for a snatched but soft look, and it's easy to travel with. The cream side blends out beautifully with fingers.
PATRICK TA - Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo
Contour for people who are scared of contour. The shades are soft enough to read as shadow, not stripes. Swipe under the cheekbones and buff it out with a brush.
MAKEUP BY MARIO - SoftSculpt Shaping Contour Stick
A liquid highlight that gives glow, not glitter. One dot on top of the cheekbones, tapped in with a finger, and it just looks like healthy skin. Pretty on bare skin too.
RARE BEAUTY - Positive Light Liquid Luminizer
The most natural highlighter on this list. It's a sheer gel you can wear alone, mix into foundation or dab on cheekbones. My go-to rec for a dewy, barely-there look.
SAIE - Glowy Super Gel Multipurpose Illuminator
Part primer, part highlighter, part skin tint. Wear it under foundation for glow, or alone on a no-makeup day. Pick your shade closely and it really does look like a filter.
CHARLOTTE TILBURY - Hollywood Flawless Filter Highlighter
Eyes & Finish
The prettiest warm rosy neutrals, and every shade works together. Matte in the crease, shimmer on the lid, done. If you only want one palette for soft glam, this is my pick.
CHARLOTTE TILBURY - Pillow Talk Luxury Eyeshadow Palette
My pick for warmer, bronzier eyes. Tan, terracotta and brown tones that go with everything from a sweater to a holiday dress. A splurge, but the formula is buttery and blends like a dream.
NATASHA DENONA - Tan Eyeshadow Palette
For lifted, separated lashes that look like yours, only better. No clumps, no spiders, and it holds a curl all day. A great everyday mascara at a fair price.
LANCÔME - Lash Idôle Lifting & Volumizing Mascara
The pressed powder I'd keep in my bag. It blurs pores and takes down shine without killing the glow underneath. Just press it into the T-zone.
CHARLOTTE TILBURY - Airbrush Flawless Finish Compact Powder
A classic for a reason. Set under the eyes so concealer doesn't crease, then dust off the extra. Start with the travel size if you're new to setting powder.
LAURA MERCIER - Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Cheeks & Lips
The blush every soft glam look needs. One dot per cheek is honestly enough, it's that pigmented. Hope (a soft mauve) or Joy (a muted peach) are the shades I'd start with.
RARE BEAUTY - Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
The lip oil I'd pair with everything on this list. Glossy and cushiony without being sticky. Rosewood is the shade for a soft glam look.
DIOR - Lip Glow Oil
Pillow Talk is the liner shade I'd tell anyone to start with, a pinky nude that works on almost everyone. Line just over the edge and blur it in for fuller-looking lips.
CHARLOTTE TILBURY - Lip Cheat Lip Liner
