India’s growing interest in global luxury brands is now paving the way for celebrity-owned labels like Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty, which recently launched in India. Besides, this trend has also inspired Indian celebs like Katrina Kaif and Masaba Gupta to launch their own labels. Slowly, these cosmetic brands are making their way into our Garden City with standalone outlets and store-in-stores. Beauty connoisseurs, here are four latest launches from city-based luxury labels that are a must-have in your make-up kit.
