Step-by-Step: How to Create the Toasty Glam Look

Let’s dive into the full look from skin to lips and learn how you can perfect it on yourself or your clients.

Step 1: The Glowing Skin Base

The secret to Toasty Glam starts with well-prepped skin.

How-to:

• Start with a hydrating mist or primer to boost glow.

• Use a lightweight, luminous foundation or BB cream to even out the skin without heaviness.

• Spot-conceal where needed (under eyes, around the mouth).

• Use a liquid or cream highlighter on the high points of the face (cheekbones, nose bridge, chin) for that "lit from within" effect.

💡 Pro Tip: Use a damp beauty sponge to blend all cream products. This ensures the finish stays dewy and seamless.

Step 2: Toasty Cheeks

Blush is the star of this look specifically, warm-toned, terracotta blush that mimics a sun-kissed flush.

How-to:

• Use a cream or liquid blush in shades like burnt peach, amber, or cinnamon.

• Apply to the apples of the cheeks and sweep across the nose bridge for a subtle sun-burnt effect.

• Lightly dust with matching powder blush to lock it in without mattifying.

💡 Pro Tip: Layering cream and powder blush increases longevity in hot climates.

Step 3: Warm, Bronzed Eyes

The eyes carry the warmth of a summer sunset.

How-to:

• Apply a matte warm brown or terracotta eyeshadow all over the lid.

• Add a shimmer bronze or copper shade to the center for a subtle glow.

• Tightline with brown kohl and smudge lightly for soft definition.

• Skip harsh eyeliner; instead, focus on soft smudged wings or just mascara.

💡 Pro Tip: Cream shadows or multipurpose sticks work best for this look easy to blend and super long-wearing.

Step 4: Natural Brows

Brows should feel undone but groomed.

How-to:

• Brush brows upward and fill only sparse areas using a brow pencil or powder.

• Set with a clear or tinted brow gel to hold the shape.

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid overly defined brows it can take away from the softness of the Toasty Glam vibe.

Step 5: Terracotta Lips

The perfect finish? A warm, earthy lip.

How-to:

• Choose a lipstick or tint in shades like cinnamon nude, rusty orange, or muted brick red.

• Dab with your finger for a blurred effect or layer with a gloss for shine.

💡 Pro Tip: Lip oils or cream tints offer the perfect combo of hydration and color for summer days.
