Alia Bhatt’s natural, fresh-looking skin has always played the perfect canvas to create flawless makeup looks. The actress has often offered us the best of skin-like makeup looks and we have taken notes. Well, who wouldn’t want to know her makeup routine? Recently, in a video with Allure, Alia Bhatt revealed her quick, 10-minute routine that literally gets her the best sunburnt glow. While many of us pick a foundation to quickly create a base, Alia reveals her way of building the skin base. She says, “My go-to for skin, building skin is to not go for foundation. I prefer to go for skin tints.” She names her routine as the ‘sunburnt glow’. She says, “You know that feeling that you feel after being in the sun all day where you’re like, tired, but there’s like, this glow on your face and you are naturally flushed and you just look like a child of the earth?”

Well, to begin with, she uses a Summer Friday’s skin tint, mixed with a KIKO Primer. She adds, “It’s a sheer skin tint and it just works beautifully on my skin. I love primers, and this one in particular, because it’s like a highlighter, it’s a primer and it’s a cream, so it is super hydrating.”

She also reveals the technique of using her hands to apply it. “I feel like I get better coverage when I’m using my hands. And again, for me, it’s not really about the coverage. I want the skin to kind of look like skin. I love to show my freckles off.”

Next in, she uses a Kosas concealer to cover those tiny spots. “I love creamy concealers. Concealers for me is just coverage, like covering all the little spots, under eyes,” she says. After that, she opts for a peachy cheek colour from Glossier for that sunburnt look.

“So this will be my next step is to get the cheek color in and this is just phase one of cheek colour. I take a healthy amount and I make like a C curve. The trick here is to not stop it on the cheek.”

Alia Bhatt goes over the nose and then comes back to the cheek, making a W. She also used the colour on her chin a bit.

She then goes in with the contour to get a bit of that tan feel. “I will go harder on my contour. What I’m using is Milk, the contour stick. Post this, I will powder.”

The star uses a bit of powder under the eyes and the skin to set it all. Then she moves on to create a base for her eyes. For this she uses a Too Faced palette, Pinker Times Ahead. With some mix-and-match, she picks a shade to create the peachy eye base as she blends it all nicely. She further curls her lashes and uses a Gucci mascara to add that drama.

“It’s super light and I like the brush. It doesn’t get too much of the mascara on and the idea is to just get that really nice light lift. For the lower lid, I’m using this mascara that I saw. It’s called Tower 28.”

Soon after, Alia Bhatt sets the brows using Benefit and then again uses a contour powder to add more burnt vibes to the look. Next up is the highlighter! She uses a Milk highlighter for that subtle glow. Then she uses lipstick to seal it all.

Alia adds, “Revlon. It’s like a creamy lip lipstick but it’s also matte, it’s a matte finish. It’s got that tone.” She then dabs it off to just retain the tinted look. She then uses a Rhode lip balm for the final finish.

For makeup and skincare tips to survive the festive season watch the video below:

Ahead of the Assembly election 2023, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has collaborated with viral meme sensation Bhupendra Jogi in a hilarious Instagram video. In the clip, the minister playfully engages with Mr Jogi, in the format that initially made Mr Jogi famous in 2018. Their conversation centres around Mr Jogi’s name and awareness of the government schemes, and then culminates into a lighthearted moment of tree planting. 

“Naam me kya rakha hai, aapka kaam bolna chahiye [What’s in a name, your actions should speak],” Mr Chouhan captioned the post. 

Watch the video below:

In the clip, the Madhya Pradesh CM asks Mr Jogi his name and if he is aware of his policies. To this, Mr Jogi answers in the affirmative. Mr Chohan then asks him to name a few of the policies. To this, Mr Jogi hilariously replies with his own name- Bhupendra Jogi.

Mr Chohan shared the clip just a day back and since then it has accumulated more than 647,000 likes and over 8.5 million views. Several users took to the comments section to share their reactions.

“Winner of the trend,” wrote one user. “Power of memes and memers,” said another. “Unexpected collaboration,” commented a third. “Collaboration we don’t deserve,” added another. 

Meanwhile, Bhupendra Jogi first gained attention during a candid conversation with a journalist in 2018 ahead of the election in Madhya Pradesh. In the video, a man (Mr Jogi) claimed that the roads in his state are better than those in the United States. The journalist then asks the man’s name, to which he replies “Bhupendra Jogi”. The journalist then requests him to name a few places he has been in the US. To this, Mr Jogi replies with his own name again.

This straightforward introduction made Bhupendra Jogi an overnight internet sensation in 2018. And now as the video has recently resurfaced on social media, it has made Mr Jogi popular yet again.  

Iceland declared a state of emergency on Friday after a series of powerful earthquakes rocked the country’s southwestern Reykjanes peninsula, in what could be a precursor to a volcanic eruption.

“The National police chief … declares a state of emergency for civil defence due to the intense earthquake (activity) at Sundhnjukagigar, north of Grindavik,” the Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management said in a statement.

“Earthquakes can become larger than those that have occurred and this series of events could lead to an eruption,” the administration warned.

The Icelandic Met Office (IMO) said an eruption could take place “in several days”.

The village of Grindavik, home to around 4,000 people, is located some three kilometres (1.86 miles) southwest of the area where Friday’s earthquake swarm was registered.

It has evacuation plans in place in case of an eruption.

Around 1730 GMT, two strong earthquakes were felt as far away as the capital Reykjavik some 40 kilometres away, and along much of the country’s southern coast, rattling windows and household objects.

According to preliminary IMO figures, the biggest tremor had a magnitude of 5.2, north of Grindavik.

Police closed a road running north-south to Grindavik on Friday after it was damaged by the tremors.

Some 24,000 tremors have been registered on the peninsula since late October, according to the IMO, with “a dense swarm” of nearly 800 quakes registered between midnight and 1400 GMT Friday.

The IMO noted an accumulation of magma underground at a depth of about five kilometres (3.1 miles). Should it start moving towards the surface it could lead to a volcanic eruption.

“The most likely scenario is that it will take several days rather than hours for magma to reach the surface,” it said.

“If a fissure were to appear where the seismic activity is at its highest now, lava would flow to the southeast and to the west, but not towards Grindavik.”

New active era

Nonetheless, the Department of Civil Protection said it was sending the patrol vessel Thor to Grindavik “for security purposes”.

Emergency shelters and help centres were to open in Grindavik later Friday, as well as three other locations in southern Iceland, for information purposes and to assist people on the move.

On Thursday, the Blue Lagoon, a popular tourist destination located near Grindavik famed for its geothermal spas and luxury hotels, closed as a precaution following another earthquake swarm.

Also nearby is the Svartsengi geothermal plant, the main supplier of electricity and water to 30,000 residents on the Reykjanes peninsula.

It has contingency plans in place to protect the plant and its workers in the event of an eruption.

Since 2021, three eruptions have taken place on the Reykjanes peninsula, in March 2021, August 2022 and July 2023.

Those three were located far from any infrastructure or populated areas.

Iceland has 33 active volcanic systems, the highest number in Europe.

The North Atlantic island straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a crack in the ocean floor separating the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

Prior to the March 2021 eruption in an uninhabited area around Mount Fagradalsfjall, the Reykjanes volcanic system had remained dormant for eight centuries.

Volcanologists believe the new cycle of increased activity could last for several decades or centuries.

An April 2010 massive eruption at another Iceland volcano, the Eyjafjallajokull in the south of the island, forced the cancellation of some 100,000 flights, leaving more than 10 million travellers stranded.
