Concealer After Contour? Watch Alia Bhatt’s Unconventional Make-Up Routine
Bazaar Arabia breaks down her latest beauty routine in a get ready with me style vlog here…
The former Bazaar Arabia cover star goes heavy on highlighter, flaunting a flawless glow!
In a recent “Get Ready with Me” video, Bollywood megastar and recent Gucci ambassador Alia Bhatt gave her followers a glimpse into the makeup routine she followed ahead of her Gucci show in Seoul.
But hold onto your contour brushes because, much like her film choices, her approach to beauty is anything but ordinary. Known for her experimental style and “doing roles that spark a conversation,” the actor takes the same off-beat approach while getting ready, this time blurring the lines between artist and muse.
Kicking off her makeup adventure, Alia starts by prepping her skin with a refreshing mist and hydrating moisturizer from Aesop. Then, thanks to what she calls “terrible packing skills,” she shares that she’s forgotten to bring along her favorite skin tint and instead concocts her own unique blend using an alternative tint, a blob of Rhode Beauty’s barrier restore cream, and a drop of highlighter by Rare Beauty for that perfect pink hue.
While conventional wisdom dictates that one should apply concealer or foundation first, this trendsetter boldly sidesteps tradition and dives straight into contouring. With an artist’s eye, she skillfully sculpts her face, building shadows before setting everything in place with a touch of translucent powder from Hourglass.
But the surprises don’t end there. Alia fearlessly spot conceals and dabs on her chosen concealer, doubling down on the radiance with yet another layer of highlighter to elevate her cheekbones. Armed with Charlotte Tilbury’s eye shadow palette and mascara, she accentuates her eyes and lashes while filling in her brows using Benefit Cosmetics. And just then, more highlighter makes a triumphant return!
For the finishing touches, the Darlings actor adds a hint of blush, donning a fresh flush, and completes it with a tinge of Nars Dolce Vita on her lips. But wait, she’s not quite done yet.
Alia circles back for a final round of spot concealing, setting, and a quick contour touch-up, leaving no room for imperfections.
So, the next time you’re tempted to reach for your concealer after contouring, take a cue from Alia’s makeup extravaganza and let your inner artist take the lead!
