Watch: Alia Bhatt shares her 10-minute makeup routine to achieve the perfect ‘sunburnt glow’

She names her routine as the ‘sunburnt glow’. Explaining it, Alia says, “You know that feeling that you get after being in the sun all day where you’re tired, but there’s this glow on your face and you are naturally flushed — you just look like a child of the earth?”

To begin her routine, she starts with a skin tint, mixed with a primer. “It’s a sheer skin tint and it works beautifully on my skin. I love primers, and this one in particular, because it’s like a highlighter, primer and cream — all in one. It is super hydrating.”

Alia stresses the importance of using her hands for application. “I feel I get better coverage when I’m using my hands. And for me, it’s not really about the coverage. I want the skin to kind of look like skin. I love to show my freckles off.”

The routine progresses with the use of a creamy concealer to cover tiny spots, followed by the application of a peachy cheek colour. Alia’s unique technique involves creating a C curve with the cheek colour, extending it over the nose, and finishing with a W shape, including the chin for a sun-kissed effect. “The trick here is to not stop it on the cheek,” she says.

Further enhancing the sun-kissed vibe, Alia incorporates a contour stick and powder under her eyes, setting the makeup effortlessly. Her eye makeup involves a mix-and-match approach with an eyeshadow palette, creating a peachy base. Then, she curls her lashes and uses mascara to add that edge. “The idea is to just get that nice light lift.”

The routine takes a glamourous turn with the application of a highlighter for a subtle glow, concluding with a lipstick that she dabs off to achieve a tinted look. Alia’s finishing touch involves a lip balm, leaving her with a fresh and radiant appearance.
