Alia Bhatt is one actress who owns natural glam like no other. Her beauty game, whether on-screen or off-duty, is about embracing flaws and enhancing them with her sun-kissed makeup. Her new video on Instagram takes fans through her makeup routine, which is minimal yet beautiful. The starting point was her damp hair, which she flipped quite a few times throughout the reel.
Alia’s 10-minute beach glam
In her latest reel, Alia began by hydrating her face, followed by a moisturiser and serum to prep her skin before applying makeup. She added a liquid blush for a healthy glow and curled her lashes with an eyelash curler. Another natural glow enhancer was applied all over her face to amplify the effect.
The actress smudged her eyeliner for a soft finish and applied nude-brown hues as eyeshadow. A hint of kajal and mascara completed the eye look. Lastly, she applied lip liner for a subtle finish and ended with pink lipstick and gloss.
With her tutorial, Alia joked about the number of times she flipped her hair. However, that didn’t distract fans from noticing her perfectly imperfect makeup game.

Reactions to Alia’s makeup routine
Fans were amused by Alia’s beauty game. While some praised her for looking stunning with or without makeup, others couldn’t understand the point of making the video.
A user wrote, “She looks so pretty.” Another added, “You are so gorgeous.” However, one asked, “Did you apply makeup or remove it? Before and after look the same.” A netizen said, “What did you do? You didn't change anything.”
Some were amusingly reminded of Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘wipe it off’ remark, as Alia was seen removing her lipstick in the video. A comment read, “Audio to cover Ranbir screaming ‘wipe it off’ at the back.” Another wrote, “She took ‘wipe that off’ too seriously; she’s literally wiping everything off.”
FAQs on how to prep your skin when on a beach:
1. Why is skin prep important before going to the beach?
Proper prep protects your skin from sunburn, dehydration, and saltwater irritation while helping maintain a healthy glow.
2. What should I apply before sunscreen?
Use a lightweight moisturizer or hydrating serum to create a barrier that keeps your skin from drying out under the sun.
3. When should I apply sunscreen?
Apply sunscreen at least 20–30 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every two hours — or sooner if you swim or sweat.
4. Should I exfoliate before going to the beach?
Yes, but gently and a day before. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, helping sunscreen spread evenly, but doing it right before can make your skin more sensitive.
5. How can I protect my lips and face from sun damage?
Use a lip balm with SPF and wear a wide-brimmed hat or sunglasses. Reapply facial sunscreen often, especially after swimming.
