Alia Bhatt is glowing (courtesy of baby Kapoor) — and it’s more evident than ever. Her Instagram is aflutter with show-stopping looks that deliver. Bhatt’s aesthetic has always been composed of barely-there elements that, in conjunction with one another, tie a look together effortlessly. The 29-year-old, during this phase of her life, hasn’t altered her approach to beauty too much; but she is enlisting the expertise of products that play into her maternity glow. Notice how she’s modelling back-to-back, head-swiveling looks for each of Brahmastra’s promotions? How does she do it? Find out.
Here’s How To Recreate Alia’s Glow Sans The Bump
First Things First — Draining The Toxicity
Alia commemorates her regimen with this massager. She spritzes her face with a mist before pressing this device into the crevices of her skin to eliminate A.M puffiness, dark under-eyes, and inflammation caused by water-retention. This skin-loving tool improves circulation, and drains (lymphatic) fluids from the face. It reinstates your radiance, tightens and firms the skin, and enhances elasticity — much like a Gua Sha or roller. While Alia dampers her skin with a spray before massaging her face with the tool, you can do the honors with a serum or oil too — this will reduce friction anyway, and ensure maximum absorption of the product at the same time.
Under-Eye Cream FTW
Alia regards under-eye creams as a non-negotiable part of skincare. Your under-eyes are the first to model unsolicited manifestations of exhaustion, dullness, or dryness — and motherhood implies an arrival of all of these concerns. This under-eye cream is turbo-charged with antioxidants as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing abilities that target puffiness, sagging, and dryness around the eyes. It hydrates, refreshes, and lifts the area, and reduces the visibility of age-related indications like lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Bhatt lets the cream marinate on the face as she moves on to the next part of her routine.
A Different Kinda Pillow Talk
Bhatt’s dynamic with Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk is one that no other lipstick can rival — in sickness and in health, and through pregnancy, they choose each other over and over again. Bhatt might have sported this lipstick on D-day — but her commitment to Pillow Talk remains unperturbed even now. This matte-textured lip-bullet boasts an SPF of 20, and glides onto the lips seamlessly — leaving behind a universally-coveted nude-pink in its trail. Pillow Talk absolutely emulates Alia’s approach to beauty — with minimalism and subtlety at its very core.
A Watermelon Sugar High Kinda Situation
This watermelon-infused elixir’s prowess lies in its ability to brighten and hydrate your skin within seconds — courtesy of its power-packed line-up of ingredients. While thirst-quenching watermelon, hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin E-enriched Moringa Seed Oil hydrate, plump, and soothe the skin, Niacinamide excels at minimising the appearance of pores, maintaining an even skin-tone, and ridding you of spots and dullness. Bhatt applies this formula not just on the face but on the neck and the hands. Hey — if you have a thing for packaging, this one doesn’t fall short.
Pepping Up The Peppers
Alia’s lashes are overly-ambitious in their pursuit of skimming the sky. If you’ve noticed, her aesthetics are always punctuated by voluptuous, healthy-looking lashes. This is courtesy of her mascara. This mascara might look standard on first glimpse — but it doesn’t shy away from giving your falsies something to feel insecure about. Endowed with the ability to curl and voluminise the lashes, it rivals even eyelash-curlers, and thanks to its adjustable brush, it can fit every eye-shape ever. Oh — and it’s also PETA-certified as cruelty-free.
Tastes Like Strawberries — This One
Alia’s always displayed a penchant for the softest washes of pink and red on the lips and cheeks. If her ruby-red glow is what you covet, this is it for you. This strawberry-infused lip-balm boasts a cherry-red payoff, and hydrates the lips with a cocktail of plant-based oils and butters. It’s delivered to you in the form of a roll-on, and slips into your on-the-go handbag seamlessly. It’s also gentle on the lips and the environment.
For Alia — Brows Before Bros
Alia’s brows are natural-looking, well-groomed, and defined. They descend upon her forehead in all of their show-stopping glory, and look nothing but glorious on-screen. The look can be achieved with this multipurpose, all-round product. This brow-gel is lightly tinted, and lends a little bit of colour to the brows without making them look artificial or overdone. It tames, defines, and volumizes what’s already there, and is equipped with light-reflecting pearls that give dimension to the brows. It has a matte finish, and feels light on the skin.
She Glazes The Base All Right
Alia’s base is key to achieving her radiant, crease-free aesthetic. This is one of her go-to products — equipped with an SPF of 15 to protect you from sun-induced damage. This skin-perfecting, gel-based formula boasts a super-fine, water-light texture that endows your face with a soft-focus, crease-free radiance and enhances the appearance of your skin without doing so very obviously.
End It — With Sunscreen
This sunscreen is unlike any other formulas that leave a white-ish residue in their trail. It plunges into your skin instantly, and sun-proofs within seconds. This Hyaluronic Acid-infused spray-based is lightweight, and doesn’t disturb your makeup one bit. It boasts an SPF of 50, and protects your skin for eight hours straight. It plays into the dewiness of your look, and lets you sun-proof the hard-to-reach areas of your body better a cream-based sunscreen. You can use it on the hair as well as the rest of your body. No wonder Alia’s makeup always looks so seamless and light.
All That Glitters Golden
Alia’s cheeks almost always attest to the miracle of highlighter — with the product sitting on the high-points of her face resplendently. A pea-sized drop of this high-beam formula illuminates and sculpts your face. It’s easily blendable and lightweight, and melts into the skin seamlessly for an all-over glow.
And that’s it. Which product are you adding to your cart?
