What really changes between Natural, Soft and Full glam
The names sound pretty, but what matters is what I put on your face. Here's the difference, concretely.
Natural glam: base, a liner pencil, a beautiful lipstick, false lashes. The essentials, applied with precision. It's a look you could wear on a dressy weekday, but perfectly executed. Light doesn't mean approximate: that's actually where precision shows the most.
Soft glam: Natural glam, plus eyelids worked in nude shades. The eyes open up, without ever taking over.
Full glam: the works. The base is sculpted, the contour is done, the glitter catches the light, the lips are built up, the false lashes are on.
Black & mixed-race skin
On Black skin, it's all about contrast
First things first, because I'm asked this a lot: a Black woman can wear every color. Every single one. There's no forbidden shade. What changes is that you need to know how to adjust them.
On deep skin, color has to create contrast to show up. Oranges and deep browns work beautifully. Nudes too, in rosy or beige tones, as long as they're worked properly. Iridescent and gold shades catch the light like on no other skin.
The question is never “does this color suit me?”. It's “how do we adjust it to my skin?”. And that's my job. For contour, I use AMS Beauty, a brand whose palette truly covers the full range of shades you need, from medium to deep.
Queen of the ombré
Red lipstick, and why I always start with a black pencil
On Black skin, you never apply lipstick straight away. If I want an intense red, I don't start with the red. I start with a black pencil outline. Then I go in with a burgundy. And only at the end do I add a lighter shade in the center of the lip.
The result is an ombré. Contrast, depth, lips with volume that hold the light. On fair skin, this outline isn't necessary. On Black skin, it changes everything.
The prep
Before anything else, your skin
I start by asking you questions. Your routine, your moisturizer, how your skin reacts. You know things about your skin that I can't guess.
Then I massage your face, always, whatever the service. It relaxes your features and wakes up the muscles. Then I look at where it shines, the nose, the forehead, the chin: those areas tell me whether your skin is oily, combination or dry. I hydrate, always, oily skin included, then apply a mattifying primer only where it's needed.
24-hour wear
Staying power comes first from the prep. Poorly prepped skin won't hold anything, whatever setting spray goes on top. Then come the sprays: Charlotte Tilbury first, which melts powders into the skin, then One Size to finish, which locks everything in.
Heat, dancing, sweat: it's all accounted for.
Optional
A wig install, a freedom for one night
New length for a night, a color you wouldn't dare every day, a texture that matches your outfit. As long as people only see the wig, never the lace.
Bleaching the knots for that natural look where you can't tell the wig apart, softening so it hugs the shape of your head. Precise styling with a flat iron or curling iron, matched to your makeup, is available as an option.
I never judge a wig. You come with what you have, and that's perfectly fine.
