Date night should be fun, and that absolutely includes getting ready for it. Because to be honest, we’re pretty bored with “more” – more steps, more contour, more time spent stressing in the mirror. No thanks.
The “more” that matters for date night (or any night) is feeling more confident, more comfy in your own skin, more “Hmm, this looks really good,” and definitely more “Yeah, I got this.”
Sounds fun, right? Well, that’s what soft-glam is all about. The only way to do it wrong is to not enjoy yourself. And with these real-life DIBS routines, getting ready will be as fun as going out.
Creamy textures. Buildable color. Products that multitask, and blend fast. Less work for more play. Effortless approaches for timeless results. Yes, more of that please.
So whether it’s your first date, or your 101st, get inspired for going out and have fun with these soft-glam makeup looks for a date night done right.
Soft Rose Glow
Our soft rose glow look is polished, yet personal, understated, yet radiant, and on-trend, yet totally, 100% you. This look is all about smooth skin, softly flushed cheeks, a gaze that amazes, and glossy lips that say so much without having to shout.
Start with the LoveBeam® Perfector for glassy-matte, silky smooth skin that shines on social and in person. Blend shades from the doubled-ended GlowTour® Duo blush for stellar shimmer and ultra-creamy contour. Add some Duet Baked Blush for extra dimension and amplified glow without blurring texture.
Next, go with our first-of-its-kind, highly versatile Double Standard Primer & Mascara Duo™. This all-purpose primer and mascara gives you the soft glam look you’re after without having to worry about flakes or smudges wrecking your date.
For easy, elevated eyeshadows, pick the The Palm Palettes for its soft, creamy textures and mistake-proof, user-friendliness. We recommend the "Roses in Hand" set for its warm, shimmering shades.
Palm Palettes pairs perfectly with the double-ended, all-in-one Duo Brush Eye, crafted with high-quality, synthetic brush hairs to give you the soft rose look, from eyes to face, with the flick of your wrist.
Give your lips an ultra-fine shimmer with a kiss of iridescence with our full-bodied Go-To Glossy Balm. It’s available in nine juicy, versatile colors, but for the soft rose glow we got to go with the rosy “Effortless Pink” or the pinky (and yummy) “Rock Candy.”
Finish the soft rose look with a light mist of LoveBeam® Setting Spray, which blurs, balances, hydrates, and sets for up to 12 hours, all with one spritz, featuring a tantalizing fresh vanilla scent.
Bronze Glam
Bronze Glam blends the glow of having just spent a day on the beach with the carefree, laidback vibe of someone living the “aloha” lifestyle. This look is sunlit and sculpted, with an intentionally placed glow that naturally catches the light to show off your cheekbones, temples, and high points. Bronze Glam may be made for date nights out, but it gives you the look of someone who plays outside during the day.
Get started with our LoveBeam® Perfector. Choose a shade one darker than your normal skin tone for a sun kissed glow. Your skin will look luminous and sunny, while the skincare-boosted formula delivers deep hydration, nourishment, and soothing, silky-smooth skin.
Give your skin the shimmer of a starlit night above the beach with GlowTour® Duo blush and contour with the rosy bronze shade of “Retrograde Rose.”
Layering on Duet Baked Bronzer over GlowTour® Duo amplifies your sun kissed glow. From the warm light bronze of “Vanilla Latte” to the deep cocoa bronze of “Espresso Martini,” any shade will do, so you do you.
The Double Standard Primer & Mascara Duo™ continues its run as the MVP of makeup, giving your eyelashes a natural, clean sheen to go with your Bronze Glam look.
Finish your “day at the beach,” Bronze Glam look with a gentle mist of our LoveBeam® Setting Spray to blur, balance, hydrate, and set your makeup for up to 12 hours.
Peachy Romantic
Peachy Romantic is a vibe. This look feels rich, looks relaxed, and is low-key radiant, bringing a delicate glow to your cheeks, an inviting shine to your lips, and a subtle glow that’s made to play, so you will be too.
Start with LoveBeam® Perfector as a base for a pinky peach sheen that’ll make you love the skin you're in. Add warmth to the cheeks with GlowTour® Duo, with the peachy coral glow of the “Starlit” shade, or the electric pink glow of “Pink Cosmos,” for that Peachy Romantic look. Pair it with Duet Baked Blush in the “Starstruck” shade for a pop of peachy coral.
The “Peaches In Hand” shade of Palm Palettes elevated eyeshadow gives your eyes a resplendent range of colors to work with for your Peachy Romantic look, each with soft, creamy textures.
Show your lips some love with Jam Jam Lip plumping lipstick liner in the cool pink shade of “Jam Sesh” for plump that’s pillowy-soft and semi-spicy with just a kiss of color. Lip care meets lip wear in our cult-favorite Lip Liner® , with the nude pink shade “Girl Talk” bringing a soft-matte finish for the perfect Peachy Romantic look.
You know what comes next (well, last): our highly versatile Double Standard Primer & Mascara Duo™ for eyelashes that blend the balance of natural and glam you’re going for. Finish things up with a final mist of LoveBeam® Setting Spray to keep the look staying luscious through dinner, drinks, and whatever else comes next.
No-Makeup-But-Better Glam
“No-Makeup-But-Better” glam says a lot but uses a little. This look is infused with intentionality, giving the skin an even, healthy, but mild glow that highlights the features and the brightness shining within.
Start with the multipurpose LoveBeam® Perfector, which works hard so you don’t have to. Then swipe on some shimmer with our GlowTour® Duo. Pair with just a hint of LoveBeam® Setting Powder to lock in your low-key look without dulling it down.
Double Standard Primer & Mascara Duo™ does what it does best, elevating your eyelashes without eliminating the “No-Makeup-But-Better” glam you’re going for.
Finish things off with Glossy Balm in the shade “Favorite Child” to add a slight shimmer to your lips or Jam Jam Lip in “Blueberry Ice,” which uses subtle blue colors to brighten your pearly white smile. And that’s it, you’re done.
The takeaway
Whether you’re wearing sneakers, stilettos, or flats, the soft glam style gets your date started off on the right foot.
Whatever direction you take for date night (and whatever direction your date night takes), you’re sure to look – and most importantly, feel – your best.
Because remember, it’s not about rules; it’s about options. So whether you go for Soft Rose Glow, Bronze Glam, Peachy Romantic, or even “No-Makeup-But-Better,” the most important part of your routine is being true to yourself.
