SOFT GLAM

I want to look beautiful, but I don't want to look like I'm wearing a mask.

I hear this from clients every single day. In the age of heavy social media filters, finding a makeup artist who knows how to hold back is rare. You don't want to look like a different person; you want to look like the most polished, radiant version of yourself.

At Artistry By Lyd, I specialize in Soft Glam. This is the art of enhancing your features—brightening under eyes, defining lashes, and perfecting skin texture—without the heavy, "cakey" layers that feel uncomfortable on the face.

Houston-Proofing Your Glow

In Houston, "full glam" can often feel heavy and suffocating once you step outside into 100°F heat and 90% humidity.

My Soft Glam application is engineered for the Texas climate.

Breathable Formulas: I use lightweight, water-based foundations and tinted moisturizers that let your skin breathe.

Strategic Placement: Instead of powdering your entire face (which can look flat/dry), I place powder only where you get oily, leaving the high points of your cheeks naturally dewy.

Sweat-Resistant Finish: Whether you are going to a brunch on a patio or a date night downtown, your glow will stay fresh, not greasy.

What is "Soft Glam"?

Unlike "Full Glam" (which involves cut creases, heavy contour, and glitter), Soft Glam is all about blending.

The Skin: Radiant and dimensional. We cover blemishes, but let freckles or natural texture peek through if you wish.

The Eyes: Earthy, neutral tones (bronzes, warm browns, champagnes) with no harsh lines.

The Lashes: Fluffy and natural. I use individual lashes or wispy strips that open the eye without weighing it down.

The Brows: Groomed and fluffy, never blocky or "sharpie-like."

Perfect Occasions for Soft Glam

You don't need a wedding to treat yourself to professional makeup. This service is one of my most popular because it is versatile enough for:

Date Nights

Impress your partner with a look that is romantic and touchable.

Family Photos

Ensure you look rested and vibrant without looking "overdone" in casual portraits.

Brunch or Daytime Events

A fresh, daytime-appropriate look that looks incredible in natural sunlight.

Engagement Photos

The perfect balance of definition for the camera and softness for close-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. "Soft Glam" doesn't mean "no coverage." It means undetectable coverage. I use color correction techniques to neutralize redness and dark circles so we can use less foundation overall, keeping the texture natural.

No! I provide high-quality false lashes (strip or individuals) as part of the service to complete your look.

A Soft Glam application typically takes 45–60 minutes. It is faster than bridal makeup but just as precise.
