Alia Bhatt
Beauty statement: Nude make-up, kohl-eyes and pink lips.
What she’s doing right: The fresh, bare minimum make-up look.
How to look like Alia Bhatt
Step one: It’s all about looking fresh, with the least amount of make-up on your face. A light moisturiser to keep the skin supple and covering areas that need to be concealed should be enough.
Step two: To accentuate your eyes, use a waterproof kajal pencil or a gel liner, as Indian eyes tend to water. Gel liners used as kajal are a great way to get a super strong, dark swipe that stays all day. Line your water line, then take a tad bit on your smudging brush and smudge it under your waterline to get that sexy, out-of-bed look.
Step three: Finish with a soft, baby pink lip colour.
