Believe it or not, I (and most people too) go through phases of makeup looks. Last year I was obsessed with smokin‘ my eyeshadow, so much so that it became my signature look whether I attended an event or went to a party. And because I’m quite vested into Alia Bhatt‘s life (aside from the fact that most people think I look like her), I’ve been spotting a kind of recurring beauty look she’s been wearing for movie premieres, book launches and so on. Scroll down to see a few of them…
A flawless, dewy base, blushed cheeks, nude lids and a hint of shimmer and glimmer at the higher points of her face—The perfect day-time and casual night-time look, IMHO. Now, if you’re as in love with it as I am, here are a couple of products you’ll need to recreate this look:
Step #1: Base
A cream foundation stick that can double up as a concealer is one of the best investments you can make. Since Alia’s look is all about a natural base, using this instead of liquid foundation is ideal.
Step #2: Shadow
For the eyes, Alia kept it nude but peachy… You can choose a nude or light brown for your crease and then either go in with a matte pink or a shimmery one (depending on the time of day) and apply it to the rest of your lids.
*Pro Tip: To give your lower lashes the illusion of having eyeliner on, take the same nude shadow and with a small blending brush apply it to the lash line.
Step #3: Mascara
If you zoom in and look closely, Alia’s lashes are long but not too clumpy. That’s because she used a volumising mascara that lengthened her lashes but not thickened them.
Step #4: Blush
Just like the base, using a cream blush will give your look a dewier and natural flush rather a defined application that one would get using a powder. The great part about cream blushes is that you can blend it out easily, to a point where it melts into your skin.
Step #5: Gloss
Keeping up with the monotone and nude look, Alia’s lips were all gloss with hints of shine. You could also use lip balm for this one.
