00:00 Hi everyone, this is Alia Bhatt and this is my 10 minute beauty routine.
00:03 My go-to for skin, building skin is to not really go for foundation. I use it for when I'm shooting
00:14 movies, ads, whatever. But on me, I prefer to go for skin tints. Like I'm a bit of a mixologist,
00:21 I like to make a nice concoction of you know products and put them together and see how they
00:25 land up. So, oh I didn't mention my routine's name. This is my, what I'm calling it is my sun burnt
00:32 glow. You know that feeling that you feel after being in the sun all day where you're like tired
00:39 but there's like this glow on your face and you just like are naturally flushed and you just look
00:43 like you know a child of the earth. I want to go for that look so that's what I'm trying.
00:49 I'm using Summer Friday's skin tint. I love it. It's a sheer skin tint and it just works beautifully
00:55 on my skin and I'm going to mix it with this Kiko primer. I love primers and this one in particular
01:04 because it's like a highlighter, it's a primer and it's a cream. So, it's like super hydrating.
01:10 So, I mix these two together and I use my hands. Yes, I'm not very comfortable using a blush when
01:20 I'm applying my skin tint. I feel like I get a better coverage when I'm using my hands
01:25 and again for me it's not really about the coverage. I want the skin to kind of
01:31 look like skin. I love to show my freckles off. So, this is my new favourite concealer,
01:37 Khos's. I love creamy concealers but again concealers for me is just coverage like covering
01:43 all little spots, under eyes. You know earlier I never used to find the need to even cover my
01:55 under eyes and I'm not bragging but now off late since I've hit 30 or maybe just lack of sleep for
02:02 the past year. New mom life. So, then I just basically cover all these spots and you will
02:12 see that I go over them again and again. Fan burnt. This is my new favourite glossier, it's called
02:22 Beam. It's cheek colour. Okay, I'm going for this like peachy vibe because I want to get that little,
02:29 so this will be my next step is to get the cheek colour in and this is just phase one of cheek
02:33 colour but I take a healthy amount and I make like a c-curve. Okay and the trick here is to not stop
02:44 it on the cheek. Go over my nose. Okay, go back c here. So, it's actually like a w and I also like
02:59 to put it on my chin and a little bit here. Okay, now I'm going to try and better this and
03:07 contour. So, to achieve that little kind of tan feel, I will go harder on my contour. What I'm
03:21 using is Milk, the contour stick. I actually love it. When I'm like working on a movie for me,
03:31 it's all about like I feel 50% of the getting into the character is the look. So, the costume,
03:38 the hair, the makeup. So, I really go with my director's vision there and I let you know the
03:44 technicians kind of do their thing and have fun because I feel it just collaborating with creative
03:52 minds that's one of the things you as an actor or just create you know anybody in the creative field
03:56 lives for. Post this, I will powder. So, going for this kind of sunburned skin vibe, I'm not going
04:02 to powder too much. I'm just going to powder my under eye because I don't want that to lift off.
04:08 Just to set that in nicely, I'm using Hourglass. It's my most favourite powder because it's like
04:13 sheer, super translucent, illuminating etc. etc.
04:17 Okay, eyes. I was gifted this palette last week by a friend of mine. It's the Too Faced palette,
04:32 Pinker Times Ahead. I mean that's so cute and it's genuinely very pink. So, I'm going to mix
04:37 this, this and this together. So, it's like a peachy. First, I'll go in with the peachy.
04:43 Okay, so I'll first go in with the peachy then I'll kind of mix in the little more like the
04:48 deeper, dustier pink. Just dabby, wabby with it. I love pink on the eyes. This lighter guy
04:58 and then I'm going to go over that again with the peachy.
05:04 There's like a little lighter, like a whitish colour which I'm just going to use for my corners
05:09 just so it blends really nicely.
05:13 Again, my most of my makeup I have literally learnt looking at my makeup artist's hand.
05:23 Her name is Puneet and the way she moves her brush on my face,
05:30 like that was the first, like that's how I started like really understanding
05:34 how to move a brush on my face and understand. But this is like literally what I can do.
05:38 I don't think I could do a smokey eye and stuff. I have not, I've not paid that much attention to
05:41 that you know, particular routine. I've worked with her for about eight years now.
05:49 She's like my family. Yeah, she did my Met Gala look. She did my Maude look. She did my
05:58 Maude Mala look. She did my wedding. Yeah, she's like family. Okay, I'm going over it again and again.
06:07 So, like I said my go-to is always this skin-like vibe. So, sometimes the tones are more brown,
06:18 sometimes the tones are way more pink, sometimes they're in this pinky, peachy space.
06:22 That was eyes. Super chill, very light. Whenever I put mascara on, it just changes my face completely.
06:29 So, I was you know in search for the mascara that does that the least, okay. So, I have a couple
06:37 of favorites but today I'm going to use two different ones, ones that I've not always used.
06:41 First, I'm going to curl my lash. So, curling lashes which again learned from Puneet. Otherwise,
06:53 earlier when people used to try, I used to go like, like that. So scared that my eye was going to just
06:59 leave me. So, currently I'm really loving the Gucci mascara because it's super light and I like the
07:07 the brush. It doesn't get too much of the mascara on and the idea is to just get that really nice
07:15 light lift. So, I don't go too close to the lash line so that I don't get a little you know this
07:24 black, blackness inside. Just looks like I have long beautiful lashes which I do, kind of.
07:36 Whenever I work with makeup artists internationally and they're like, see I love your lashes, I love
07:40 them. I say, really? Using two different mascaras and for the lower lid, I'm using this mascara that
07:46 I saw. It's called Tower 28. It's meant for sensitive eyes which I was very attracted to
07:54 because of late, I don't know whether this is like a post-pregnancy thing but my eyes have become
07:58 very sensitive to certain mascaras or certain eye makeup or I don't know whether it's just dry eyes
08:06 so I'm like very particular about the mascara that I choose. So, this for the lower lid because again
08:11 I don't like to go without mascara on the lower lid but I also don't like it to look too much so
08:18 this is just nice and perfect. So, this is mascara. After this, I'm gonna go in with brows. For this
08:26 vibe, I'm going super chill with the brows. My go-to is Benefit for brows. Also, I've let my
08:35 brows grow out now. I've not been shaping them too much so it is denser on the top which again
08:44 I like. Usually, I go for the powder and the wax. Now, I'm going only for the powder because there's
08:50 like powder here and wax. Through the lockdown, I became very self-reliant when it came to
08:56 removing hair from my body and my face. Literally, they were like I would spend hours watching
09:04 what's that show? There's a show. I used to watch this show, a random show. I used to spend hours
09:11 just watching that show, three hours of it and like just waxing myself. It was really fun. I would
09:17 sit on a towel on my floor and wax away. Too hot to handle. That was the show.
09:22 And my sister would walk into me be like what are you doing? You know this is not a really
09:30 what is this visual? So, this is Hourglass and this is what I'm going to use for blush again
09:35 and I'm going to go for the dusty pink and the darker bronzer vibe. Over the nose.
09:43 Okay, I'm going to go for some more contour vibes.
09:52 Hourglass contour powder.
09:59 So, I can get that little burnt-ish feel. Okay, highlighter next. Another new highlighter that I
10:07 have been enjoying is the Milk highlighter.
10:10 I like it because it just gives you that little subtle glow. Rare beauty highlighter that I think
10:24 is just really gives that last final like impact and I actually dab it down so that sheen just...
10:37 Okay, last but not the least, I'm going to go with this Revlon. It's like a creamy
10:51 lip lipstick but it's also matte. It's a matte finish and it's got that peachy tone.
10:58 Dab it off to get that.
11:06 Like I like it to look like a stain and then I also land up spilling all over so I'm gonna have
11:16 to clean it. My mom would do this a lot. Whenever she would apply lipsticks, it would go all over her
11:22 mouth. I'm like, what are you doing? Get like color within the lines. And I'll end with the
11:34 Rode lip balm. This like a lip balm is always in my bag. Always. So, lip balm, lipstick. So, I put the
11:44 lipstick lip balm, put the lipstick lip balm. That's just my go-to. This is unscented because I have a
11:49 tendency to eat my lip balm up when it's really yummy but I also love the salted caramel one.
11:56 But it's so yummy that I eat it up literally. Okay, actually I'm done. This is my sun burnt go-to
12:08 night out 10-minute beauty routine. Okay, so thanks for tuning in to my 10-minute beauty routine. I
12:17 hope you enjoyed it and I hope I'm looking sun burntly glowy. Have fun, take care, see you next time.
