Q1. What makes the Barkha Beauty Reds so special for the Indian skin tone?

Indian skin tones generally carry a lot of brown pigment on the lips, so we have created a special range of red lipsticks that beautifully complement Asian and Indian undertones.

Q2. What is the best way to wear a red lip when it comes to the rest of the makeup?

When it comes to a bold red lip, my personal preference is always to keep the rest of the face clean, with well-groomed brows. However, if one wants a glamorous evening look, a smokey eye paired with a red lip is always a big hit.

Q3. Do jewel tones like Ruby Red enhance Indian beauty in the best way?

Yes, reds, maroons, and any shades with brown or purple undertones absolutely enhance Indian beauty in the best way possible.

Q4. Do you remember the moment when Barkha Beauty Red became ‘your thing’?

My most famous red matte lipstick was inspired by my close friend Namrata, who epitomises Indian beauty with her glass skin. Our NVS Red Lipstick was created with her in mind.

Q5. What does a red lip symbolise to you?

For me, a red lip is the perfect balance of femininity and power.

Q6. Are there any beauty icons whose red lip era inspired you growing up?

My aunt used to dress me up as a mini Madonna when I was growing up, and that was my first introduction to a MAC red lipstick.
