Get The Look: Alia Bhatt’s Rosy And Radiant Diwali Party Make-Up
If you, like us, instantly bookmarked her look for your mood board, here’s everything to know…
It is no secret that Alia Bhatt loves minimal, glam looks. Whether it was her wedding day or promotional runs for her movies, you would rarely find her straying away from the natural, no-make-up, make-up look that has become her (unofficial) trademark.
A recent appearance at Manish Malhotra’s annual Diwali bash caught everyone’s attention, and not just because she re-wore the lehenga from her mehndi ceremony! Alia upgraded her go-to minimal make-up look with a few additions that instantly made it perfect for beauty lovers who want to experiment with this festive and wedding season without going OTT.

Alia sported a clean, glowy base, rosy blush, shimmery pink lipstick, neatly groomed brows, and brown smokey eyeliner. The look was finished with many coats of mascara and statement poli earrings that framed her face.
We loved how easy it was to recreate, as it is equal parts muted and has just the right hint of sparkle.
Our favourite bit is how her freckles show, imparting a natural finish to her overall look.

Begin with a strobe cream or a thick moisturiser, and massage it into your face using circular motion. If you have really dry skin, a face oil would do the trick too.

Alia’s skin almost looks poreless—to recreate the same, use a pore-filling primer on the T-zone to blur out the pores.

Using a beauty blender dab a tinted moisturiser or a serum-based foundation into your skin. Next, use a cream bronzer to add warmth to your face, and blend it using a stiff brush.

Follow up the bronzer by using a cream or a velvet blush such as Simply Nam’s Velvet Cream Blush in the shade Partner In Crime on the temples of your face. Using a beauty blender, dab it on your nose for a sun-kissed effect.

Set your face with a loose powder but only in places where you know you will crease–such as your under eyes, laughing lines near your chin and the forehead (in case, you have an oily T-zone)
Here comes the main bit, the eyes: Pick an eyeshadow palette that has both pink and brown tones. A foolproof palette that will come in handy is the Huda Beauty Naughty Nude Eyeshadow Palette.

Apply a wash of light brown colour all over your eyelids and then focus the same colour on your crease. Next, use an eyeliner brush and use the deep, chocolate brown eyeshadow and line your eyes. You don’t have to be particularly careful about it because it has to be smudged later to give it a smokey eyeliner effect.
Fill in your brows with a micro-tip eyeliner pencil to emulate natural eyebrow hair-like strokes.

On the high points of your face such as your cheekbones, eyebrow bone, and cupid’s bow, apply a highlighter.

Finish the look by using an illuminating face spray and a mauve pink lip gloss.
