Beauty and skincare is a very essential part of showbiz. Celebrities spend hours with makeup and extravagant hairstyles everyday. This has lead to many eminent names venturing into the business side of beauty with successful brands that have built a name for themselves in a very short time

Beauty, skincare and haircare brands started by Indian celebrities:

The entrepreneurship bug bit the entertainment world eons ago. Celebrities around the world have started successful ventures and one community that’s accepted them with open arms have been the beauty industry. The space is now reigned on by celebrities like Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian and many more. 

The wave of entrepreneur in this field struck the Indian film industry relatively late, but when it did, it was a riot of exceptional brands and products. We saw names like Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Manish Malhotra, Masaba and many more start their own line of makeup, skincare and hair products in the last few years.

As we kickstart #BeautyWithLSA this month, here’s listing down 9 Indian celebrities who started their own beauty, skincare or haircare lines. Take a look.
