Soft Glam Makeup, The New Trend!
After 8 years of Carnival makeup, over 10,000 faces, more influencer faces than we can count, and countless band shoots, we're stamping our authority on this one. This year, many girls are choosing Soft Glam as their go-to makeup look. Pretty is the new Carnival vibe, and nothing shows off that beauty like a good Soft Glam beat. Band shoots and launches may celebrate over-the-top makeup, but that's all for show. Even the models are opting out of that kind of beat for the road. Influencers, many of whom are paid to participate in Carnivals, often go over the top as part of their game.
However, don't be afraid to push boundaries. If it's your first carnival, then by all means, go all out. These barely-there costumes demand nothing less! Don't be afraid to try something new. With Carnivals like Trinidad, Saint Lucia, and Grenada that have two days of mass, you have plenty of opportunities to experiment! After all, Carnival is the perfect time to let your imagination run wild!
