ALIA BHATT THE CLASSIC GIRL-NEXT-DOOR

This young Bollywood actress is a powerhouse of talent currently ranked among India’s top actresses.

What’s her look: Alia is blessed with a fresh, youthful looks and often picks films that explore this aspect of her charming persona. Her make-up usually exudes an air of ‘girl-next-door’ cuteness and innocence and focuses on bright skin, minimal eye make-up and vibrant lips.

For recreating Alia’s fresh and even-toned skin base, pick a long-lasting, matte formula such as Sephora’s Matte Perfection Fluid Foundation. Applying foundation with a damp beauty blender. Follow with Givenchy Prisme Libre Mat Finish and Enhanced Radiance Loose Powder in featherlight strokes for a youthful, blurry skin base. Skip the contouring step as we are aiming at a fresh, youthful look. Instead, move straight to a pretty shade of pink blush such as Marc Jacobs Beauty Air Blush Soft Glow Duo 505 Kink and Kisses.

As for highlighting, go for a powder highlighter. Using an extremely light hand, apply a subtle sheen to the cheeks using Fenty Beauty Killawatt Highlighter Duo in shade Mean Money & Hustla Baby. For the eyes, go for a hint of subtle rose mauve eyeshadow. Use Givenchy Spring Collection Dual Liner in shade No. 4 Passionate. In one easy step, this dual liner crayon will deposit a thick rose-coloured eyeshadow and a thin matching peach eyeliner together over the eyelid. Next, lightly fill in the gaps in the eyebrows with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo in Granite using an angled brow brush in light strokes. To tame unruly brows, go for Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel Clear – long-lasting and ideal for all brow hair colours.

For a cute girly look, use a thin black eyeliner along the upper and lower eyelids. Our best bet? Kat Von D’s felt-tipped Ink Liner Trooper. Finish eye make-up with 2 coats of Inglot’s Jennifer Lopez Viva Las Lashes Mascara. Once lashes are mascara-loaded, use a clean mascara brush to gently comb through any clumped-up lashes.

Now the lip colour. Alia’s cute look owes much to the pretty pink lipsticks she frequently uses. Apply Dolce & Gabbana’s Dolcissimo Matte Liquid Lip Colour in shade Pink 5 along your natural lipline and fill in the lips – this easy liquid formula settles into a soft velvety matte finish on the lips in no time.
