Indian cosmetics industry is growing day by day and so many new brands are
coming our way. If we look back , there were not many options in Indian market
in 10years ago . And by following the typical human nature , we believe if the
product is from any international brand and with a higher price tag ,the
product must be very good for our skin . We need to change this mentality
first and we should go with our skin's needs .
There are Indian brands who are globally recognised for their good quality
products . Now with the ongoing campaign #VocalforLocal and #AtmanirbharBharat
,we should encourage our own manufacturers and our own made in India products.
Here I am going to compile some Indian Brands who have created a special place
in their customers' hearts .
1. Lakme -
Lakme needs no introduction as it is one of the top most makeup brands and
globally recognised. You will find products from makeup to skincare to nails
in Lakme . The brand is loved by college going girls to high profile
celebrities . Because there are products for everyone in every budget .
I have quite a lot of Lakme makeup products in my vanity .. I love their
eyeconic mascara and kajal . Also I am a huge fan of Lakme nail
polishes.
2. Coloressense -
Coloressense is another Indian brand which offers affordable and top quality
makeup products. Coloressense is a part of Nature's Essence which is
well-known for natural skincare products . Coloressense makeup products are
under budget and of good quality also . Everyone can try out their products.
Here I want to add that , my first ever lipstick and kajal was from
Coloressense only . Coloressense products are widely available online and
offline also .
3. Elle18 -
There are definitely one or two Elle18 lipsticks in every college going
girl , I am sure. Elle18 has the most affordable makeup range . They have
lipsticks, kajal, eyeliners ,nail polishes ,etc in their makeup range . The
color pop and color bomb range of Elle18 has the funkiest and brightest
colours ever. This is again a much loved and affordable makeup brand in India.
4. Nykaa Cosmetics -
Nykaa is a beauty e-commerce website founded on 2012 by Mrs. Falguni Nayar .
After the huge success as an online shopping site , slowly they started
introducing their own makeup range and now Nykaa is a beauty and makeup brand
also . They have amazing ranges of skincare and makeup products . The products
are within budget and of awesome quality. You can get Nykaa products only on

Fabindia is an amazing brand which is known for their great quality organic
products . Fabindia was launched in 2006 and till now the brand is happily
serving natural, organic and high quality beauty products to us . They have a
wide range of authentic beauty products like moisturizer, shampoo,
conditioner, soaps, hail oil, body scrub , face pack and other skincare stuff
. The price range is also very affordable. I like fabindia soaps so much .
They are hydrating on skin and of very good quality and organic too . I also
love fabindia moisturizer and body wash . All products are of superior quality
I can say ..
6. Himalaya Herbals -
Himalaya is a well-known brand for its natural products.
They have various categories of products from skincare to wellness to baby

and gentle on skin and also cost effective. My favourite is Himalaya face wash
, protein hair mask and lip balm.

Patanjali Ayurveda is not only a name but a trust of people on Ayurveda.
Patanjali products are natural , pure and extremely mild on skin . You will
