What is a Soft Girl?
If you’re a fan of pink hue shades, freckles and feminine style, you’re already on your way to become a soft girl. As the name suggests, a soft girl is usually referring to an individual that prefers girly things and 90s fashion style. On top of sporting a youthful aesthetic, soft girls opt for pastels colours and accessories that are super feminine. If you’re still quite confused, just imagine a style that is totally the opposite of an E-girl.
Step By Step Guide On How To Do Soft Girl Makeup Look and Hair Easily!
1.Prep, Prime and Everything Nice!
Hold on, before you reach for that blush make sure to prep your skin first. Similar to other makeup steps, prepping is essential to ensure a flawless finish. Always start with your regular skincare routine and then proceed to apply a face primer of your choice. For those with oily skin, we suggest that you opt for a mattifying primer to make the makeup last longer. On the contrary, if you have dry skin, a good moisturizer that is super rich and hydrating will do wonders for you. If you are unsure which face primer to choose, we have listed a few options down below.

When it comes to recreating a soft girl makeup look, it’s all about having that radiant and glowing skin to channel the inner youthfulness. So, you don’t necessarily have to opt for a heavy foundation unless you want to. In terms of coverage, it is entirely up to your preference. If you prefer to cover up all those blemishes, we recommend full coverage. Whereas for those who don’t mind their pimples peeping out, a sheer foundation with a natural finish is the perfect option. Honestly, you can even skip this step if you’re not fond of foundation.

3. Conceal the Flaws
Let’s be real, almost everyone has dark circles and it’s not something that you should be ashamed of. Unfortunately, for the soft girl makeup, it requires us to have that big doe and bright eyes. So, the easiest way to achieve this is by applying concealer to colour correct them. One of the pro tips is to choose a concealer that is suitable for your skin tone. If you have a darker skin tone, make sure to opt for an orange concealer to even the skin. People with lighter skin tones should use peach concealer. Plus, remember to conceal the blemishes or acne on your face as well.

Additionally, the blusher also comes in handy as you can apply it on your eyelids as well. The key thing is to opt for a pink hue to attain that sweet and feminine look.
