Pat McGrath Labs ready to launch in India

Commenting on the launch, Nykaa Spokesperson, said, “At Nykaa, our goal is to continue bringing the best from the world of beauty – global sensations as well as superstar brands – closer to home…reports Asian Lite News

One of the most renowned cosmetics companies in the world, Pat McGrath Labs, is set to launch in India. The brand will be available exclusively on the Nykaa website and app with an excellent assortment, which includes high-performance formulas, premium cosmetics, daring eyeshadow palettes, and the most exquisite and boudoir-worthy lipsticks.

Pat McGrath developed her line of high-performance cosmetics while also defining worldwide trends in beauty and elevating the makeup craft. This work culminated in the introduction of her own brand. When McGrath’s GOLD 001 debut product was made available on social media in the fall of 2015, it quickly sold out. Since then, the brand has persisted in introducing cutting-edge, motivational cosmetics and forging unthinkable partnerships that have expanded the definition of beauty.

“I’m beyond thrilled to announce that Pat McGrath Labs is launching with Nykaa in India. I’ve always felt the lush jewel tones and rich textures found in Indian filmmaking and art to be so inspiring. My collection is built on high-performance products and colour-true hues that flatter every skin type and tone. I cannot wait to see all the beautiful looks that will be created,” says Pat McGrath.

Commenting on the launch, Nykaa Spokesperson, said, “At Nykaa, our goal is to continue bringing the best from the world of beauty – global sensations as well as superstar brands – closer to home. We are excited to launch yet another cult beauty brand in India – PAT McGRATH LABS. It’s safe to say that Pat McGrath is a revolution, and her ability to bring alive the creative potential of makeup has shaped numerous beauty trends and techniques that are fervently followed across the globe.”

Some bestsellers that will be available include:

Mattetrance Lipstick

“When you have a model in a beautiful gown backstage and you have less than a minute to put a lip on her, you don’t have time to shade it in. I developed Mattetrance so that anyone could create a 3D-lip in 2.1 seconds without having to become Leonardo da Vinci. I create products that are perfect for me and my work backstage, but also easy for everyone,” says Pat McGrath.

The Mothership Palettes

“Makeup can be a radical form of self-expression. My philosophy, ‘Use without caution,’ is about taking risks, experimenting, and having a fearless attitude toward colour,” says Pat McGrath.

Dark Star Mascara

“Dark Star Mascara is its own force field. It transcends your most surreal lash fantasies, warping reality with otherworldly levels of volume, length, and curl,” says Pat McGrath.

Products will be available only at Nykaa.com starting June 18.

‘Sustainability is the interior trend to stay’

First and foremost, it’s the customer’s point of view and then comes the design aspect. There has to be great synergy between both the parties…Gauri Khan speaks with Nimerta C Sharan

With more than 15 years of experience and a star-studded client list, it’s only befitting for Khan to share her expertise with design enthusiasts. On the new interior design module on The Designer’s Class, the interior specialist will share her design theories, practical application, sustainable ideas, techniques and much more. The module is accessible to people from all age groups. In an exclusive conversation Gauri Khan talks about her latest collab, current trends and her most distinct space so far.

What’s been the main focus behind this collaboration?

Khan: Learning is a process that’s always intrigued me and helped me stay ahead in this industry. This collaboration is an ideal and organic evolution of my love for learning. It’s a great opportunity to share my professional experiences with people who love design as much as I do. Through this course, students will have access to a lot of fundamentals of interior designing along with various crucial elements that go in curating and designing a space.

How would you describe your aesthetic?


Khan: At Gauri Khan Designs, we love doing luxurious projects, but that’s not what the brand stands for. We want to reach out to maximum people and are also planning to launch our pret line sometime next year. The aim is to reach out to as many people and help them know about the diverse services we offer.

An interior trend that’s here to stay?

Khan: I think sustainability. Whether it’s sourcing organic materials or refurbishing old furniture or even adding more green elements to a space, we are gravitating towards being eco-conscious.

What’s the most important factor for you while designing a space?

Khan: First and foremost, it’s the customer’s point of view and then comes the design aspect. There has to be great synergy between both the parties.

How would you describe a well-curated space?

Khan: I think good furniture, plants and smart storage. The space has to be comfortable and warm – it should feel like you belong there.

If you could describe your design journey in three words?

Khan: Passion, dedication and hard work.

A piece of advice for young students?

Khan: There’s no end to learning. Being in the industry for more than 15 years has made me aware of how vital being on your toes is. I still take every chance to learn more about the craft. It’s very important to find your own style; it helps you have an edge over others.

Out of all the places you’ve designed, which is the most distinct and why?

Khan: It’s the Red Chillies Entertainment office that has been recently revamped. It doesn’t look like an office, it’s more like a comfortable zone. The open space, the lounge area and the furniture give the space a warm and relaxed vibe.

Potential skincare trends to create a buzz in 2022

Skin minimalism, aka the skip-care trend, is all about using a handful of beauty products rather than investing in 10 different skincare steps and taking the time to apply them every day…reports Asian Lite News

The beauty industry witnessed a myriad of trends in the year 2021. While the recovery time for most trends is often short-lived, transparent skincare is a trend thats definitely making a comeback. As the founder of the D2C beauty and personal care brand Earth Rhythm, Harini Sivakumar, feels skincare trends for 2022 will follow an approach of “Less Is More” while embracing gentle ingredients and fewer products in skincare routines.

In the past, the beauty industry has been flexible, but the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted beauty stores globally. Many beauty and skincare companies now manufacture sanitizers, cleaning agents, and also provide free beauty consultations to customers. In the current scenario, consumers understand that good skin has the power to make any makeup product look well applied, and hence focus more on upping their skincare routines.

Sivakumar talks about skincare and beauty trends that have the solid potential to create a buzz in the coming months and provide a promise of clear and radiant skin without any hassle.

DIY Care:


With no scope for an appointment with a hairdresser, many people resorted to colouring and chopping their hair during the COVID days. There has been an increase in DIY skincare, with everything from aloe vera to eggs being put into the mixture or mask. While being at home during the lockdown, consumers had much more time available for self-care, and that’s definitely a good thing. The internet is now flooded with face exfoliating and masking tips and tricks. For obvious reasons, even our B-town celebrities took to their Instagram and Youtube handles to share their special kitchen ingredient mask recipes, and for obvious reasons, they were widely popular and accepted.

Skin Minimalism:

Skin minimalism, aka the skip-care trend, is all about using a handful of beauty products rather than investing in 10 different skincare steps and taking the time to apply them every day. It’s about enriching your skin with minimal products to strengthen the skin barrier while nourishing it. Skin Minimalism is a natural, minimal, and no-makeup beauty craze that highlights the pores, complexion, and texture of the skin while allowing your skin to breathe.

Gender-Neutral Products:

The gender-neutral movement in the skincare industry has helped brands to build an inclusive community for people from all walks of life. And with a brand as big as Fenty Beauty, the conversation for genderless beauty took a brilliant note. In today’s time, men aren’t averse to the idea of applying skincare or wearing makeup, and social media (especially Instagram) is helping them build confidence. As a brand, we too are evolving and diversifying product strategies based on the ethos that we stand for: sustainability, inclusivity, and efficacy.

Blue Light Protection:

Our screen timing can sometimes be alarming! People are turning to products that help to protect their skin from the harmful effects of screens (as most of the time we’re on our phones and laptops). And SPF is one such product that has the utmost importance in our lives as it protects us from UV rays and blue light as well. The blue light emitted from screens can be harmful to skin cell regeneration and can affect our skin’s natural radiance and accentuate fine lines and wrinkles.

Personalized/Customized Skincare:

Who doesn’t love a skincare product curated personally just for them? Bespoke skin and beauty products have been trending since last year, and customers’ desire to have products that are tailored to their skin types and concerns has been strong. Customization is the new face of skincare! For personalised skincare, the customer has to describe their skincare type and concerns, and you’ll be treated with a new product. Accordingly, brands would formulate a skincare product that specifically caters to their skincare needs. We think this trend is here to stay a bit longer as consumers look for a product that works for them, and this option ticks all the boxes since it is more promising, innovative, and works according to their skin type and concerns.

Artificial Intelligence:

In the near future, AI will make things easier for consumers! With the help of AI, consumers can try skincare and makeup in a digital environment. Potentially, in the future, we may get to a stage where the physical and digital experience will be absolutely seamless. With virtual reality (VR) or virtual goggles, customers can experience physical retail. Ultimately, this will elevate the shopping experience and will improve the sales conversion, keeping in mind the ongoing pandemic.
