And let’s not deny that we all love attending shaadis and more than that, dressing up for each of those functions. So, while you wear that gorgeous lehenga, you’ve got to make sure that your makeup game is on point too. And if you’re wondering how to give yourself a new look at every function, here’s some help from Alia Bhatt herself! We raided Instagram to get you the 10 most fabulous Alia Bhatt makeup looks. Trust us, it’s all the inspiration you need.
1. That girl in red

Alia Bhatt does an all red look and nails it, to say the least. While bold red lips always manage to stand out, it was her eye makeup that totally made us go wow. Matte red eyeshadow complimented her lips and the rest of the makeup was kept to a minimal. A hint of highlighter and well defined lashes completed the look. When you’re going this bold, it’s best to keep the rest of your face clean and your hair neatly slicked back.
2. Au naturel

Attending a day wedding? Opt for a no-makeup look just like Alia’s! Use a concealer to hide any major blemishes or acne marks and let your eyes be devoid of any makeup. If you feel the need, use a white kajal pencil on your inner waterline to open up your eyes. Put on a soft pink lipstick, and you’re done. Ooh, we also love Alia’s natural bushy brows.
3. Eye game strong

For a wedding function, Alia made sure that her eye makeup stands out. Thick eyeliner, tons of mascara and the good old kajal drew all the attention to her eyes. She chose a pop pink lipstick to match her outfit and a hint of blush completed her look. When going heavy on the eyes, it’s always better to keep the rest of your makeup to a minimal.
4. Those sexy smokey eyes

Bestie ki shaadi? This is the only makeup look you need to look fresh and fabulous at her wedding. Alia chose to keep it nice and clean by defining her eyes with some kajal and a layer of mascara to pop em’ open. One swipe of a pink lipstick, a hint of blush and you’re done. This is a great look for those morning functions too!
6. A bold statement

There is smokey and then there is this. Use tons of blush to define those cheekbones and a brown eyeshadow to play up your eyes. Thin black eyeliner and kajal completes Alia’s dramatic and bold look. The lips are left nude and we can’t tell you just how much we love this fierce look. For a reception or cocktail ceremony, this is the look you should aim for.
7. Keeping it colourful

Add a bit of colour to your makeup at the next wedding you attend. But do make sure to either use one colour or keep the rest of your makeup to a minimal. Alia chose to pretty up her eyes with a purple kajal and shadow. To make your eyes look bigger, you could use white shimmer at the inner corners just like Alia did. A nude pink lipstick and blush completes her fresh and fab look. Perfect for the mehendi function, what say?
8. A pop of colour
