While our social feeds may be chock-full of intense graphic eyeliner looks (dramatic wings, colourful floating liner, you name it), Alia Bhatt is here to remind us of the undeniable charm of a simple kohl-rimmed eye.
The star recently took to IG to drop a bomb of a beauty look that featured gorgeous, dewy skin, kohl-defined eyes, and monochromatic hues. Well, safe to say, we can’t get enough of this ultra-flattering makeup look, and we know neither can you. Alia’s timeless beauty look is romantic and flirty and classic all at once. It is definitely one to master if you like to keep things simple yet elevated while enjoying your fair share of glow. Imagine wearing the beauty look to a Sunday brunch, a wedding, or even, of course, a birthday party. You could switch up the lip colour to a more vibrant hue and add a thin layer of gloss over the eyelids if you want to up the ante. Wanna give this beauty look a go? Keep scrolling to get the scoop.
7 Steps To Recreate Alia’s Insta-Worthy Makeup And Hair Look
Step 1: Glow To The Gods!
Before you start, make sure your skin is cleansed and ready. Massage a rich moisturiser into the skin until it’s absorbed. Apply an illuminating primer all over the face. Next, buff a creamy foundation in thin layers. Choose one that offers a glowy finish. Dot a little concealer under the eyes and on any blemishes you may want to cover. Then blend seamlessly.
Step 2: Brows Before Bros
Fill gaps and sparse areas in your brows. With a spoolie, comb them in place. If your brows are particularly unruly, use a clear brow gel to add some hold.
Step 3: Kohl-Rimmed Eye Is A Winner In Our Books!
You can apply the same shade on your cheeks, eyes, and lips for a beauty look that’s easier to pull off than you think. Just take your favourite eyeshadow hue in shades of pink or peach. Apply it all over your eyelids. Then, grab a tapered brush to apply the same shade over the lower lash line. Complete the look by using a black kohl to define your eyes.
Step 4: Sculp And Contour Like Whoa!
Add warmth to your face by using a bronzing powder across the temples, hairline, and jawline, and sculpt the face by applying the cream contour along the hollows of your cheeks.
Step 5: For That Insanely Pretty Flush
Try a creamy pigment as they are more malleable and even finger application work for that kinda makeup. Make sure you pick a hue that matches your eyeshadow shade. Just dap a few dots of cream blush on the apple of your cheeks and blend, try to blend all the harsh edges before the product dries out.
Step 6: Ultra Lush Lips FTW!
Line your lips with a pink-toned lip pencil and then apply a satin lipstick in the same hue all over your lips.
Step 7: Steal The Spotlight With Rope Braid
Smoothen out the locks using a hair straightener. We suggest using a hair gel to keep those frizz and flyaways at bay and ace the slick look. Now, middle part your hair and divide the ponytail into two separate sections. Twist both sections and then wrap them together with a rubber band. For some extra gleam, spritz a shining spray.
We can’t wait to see her next celebrity beauty look!
