Alia’s Mehendi Makeup Look Is Perf For Minimal Brides-To-Be

If there was a celebrity wedding we most wanted a golden ticket to this year, it had to be Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s. The first pictures of the newlyweds took social media by storm, but adding to the visual delights, Alia shared a carousel of photos from their Mehendi, and it got our hearts racing.

They looked fab, to say the least! Alia wore a stunning pink lehenga custom-designed by none other than Manish Malhotra and we couldn’t help but also give her full points for her beauty look. The 29-year-old Brahmastra actress brought her A-game on, and we couldn’t take our eyes off her. Bhatt looked stunning – her hair pulled in a modern-yet-classic half-tied crown braid, thanks to hairstylist-to-the-stars Priyanka Borkar. Makeup artist Puneet B Saini gave her a glowy complexion, ultra-curly lashes, subtly defined eyes, and glossy nude lips. There was an undeniable bohemian edge to this look, which has off-late become Bhatt’s signature style. Well, we are grateful to Alia for providing us with the kind of look that is certain to make its way to bridal inspiration Pinterest boards in record time. It’s an insanely pretty beauty look to save for any wedding festivities that may come your way. Wondering how to recreate it yourself? Here’s a step-by-step breakdown!

Step 1: It’ll All About That Base

Use the skin prep routine you normally would. If you have dry skin, start with a spray mist and then pop a facial oil on your skin, focusing on the high points of your face. For the gorgeous natural glow, apply an illuminating primer before going ahead with complexion products like concealer or foundation. Next, choose a dewy foundation as your base and buff it on the skin with a brush. Dot conceal under the eyes and on areas where you may need it, and until it melts into the skin.

Step 2: A+ Arches Ahead

Brush your brows in place. Then, use a brow pencil to draw thin, hairline strokes and fill any sparse areas. Finally, comb through the strands with a clear gel.

Step 3: Damn, Those Eyes!

Take a nude pink eyeshadow and apply it all over your lids and along the lower lash line. Grab a precise brush. Next, take a champagne gold shadow and apply it on your brow bone as well as on the inner corner of your eyes. Next, curl your lashes and coat them with two coats of volumising mascara.

Step 4: One Last Swish!

Take a darker shade of concealer and use it to sculpt your face. Apply it across the temples, hairline, jawline, and along the hollows of your cheeks. Use a damp sponge to press and dab the creams into the skin.

Step 5: An Incomparable Glow!

To mimic Alia’s flushed skin, apply a lip and cheek stain on the apple of your cheeks. Blend it upwards towards the temple. Apply a liquid highlighter on your cheeks and high points of the face, using your fingers to pat and press the product in.
