Bollywood on her beauty secrets
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s peaches-and cream complexion and kohl-lined eyes are enough to light up a room! We quiz one of the most beautiful faces in Bollywood on her beauty secrets
Q. 1 Any person you look up to in terms of fashion?
My sister Karishma Kapoor. Whenever she steps out, whether it is her hair, make-up or outfits, she is impeccably turned out, and certainly doesn’t look like a mother of two!
Q. 2 What’s your personal beauty regime?
Honestly, I don’t follow a typical regime or procedure. It’s just about using some simple stuff like moisturising cream etc.
Q. 3 Are there any make-up products you swear by?
That would be Lakme kajal— not because I am the brand ambassador of the product— but because I think it’s the most spectacular eye pencil in the world. I have travelled across the world and tried all kinds of eye pencils but there’s nothing like Lakme kajal. Otherwise I prefer minimal make-up and if I had my way I would attend events without wearing any make-up.
Q. 4 Do you use any particular cream on your face?
I don’t use any foreign products on my face. Honestly, when I am shopping, the last thing on my mind is to buy a product for my face. I would rather buy a pair of shoes!
Q. 5 As actors, you are constantly using different products and styling your hair which tends to damage it. Any particular care that you take?
I think almond oil does the job. And I use Head and Shoulders anti hairfall shampoo. I don’t go to a hair spa and fuss over my hair. I use very natural basic things that are easily available. On a bad hair day, I just put some oil and tie my hair.
Q. 6 Share some diet secrets with us?
I eat parathas every day made in desi ghee. It lubricates the hair and makes my skin glow. I don’t know why people are shocked. No fancy foods like cranberries and antioxidants. I don’t spend money on those things.
Q. 7 What about some home remedies?
My mom used to mix badam powder with dahi and honey and apply it on my sister and my face. In fact, my sister still does it. I get yelled at because I am supposed to do it, but I don’t. It’s my mom who said that if we use this mix there would be no need to buy expensive products.
Q. 8 Could you share one make-up tip?
There’s nothing better than washing your face with lukewarm water to feel fresh! Otherwise, I don’t even use base when I go out! I know people tell me to use some make-up when we are travelling and dine out, because we tend to get clicked wherever we go. But come on, we are human and don’t want to wear make-up all the time!
Q. 9 Which cosmetic do you always keep in your bag?
Kajal and lip balm!
Q. 10 How would you dress for a casual date?
Apply kajal, use some blush on, blow-dry my hair and tie it in a high ponytail. And slip into my most comfortable clothes!
HUL to introduce premium brands for hair styling
When Hindustan Unilever’s executive director Hemant Bakshi went for a ‘complimentary’ hair cut last week, he came out of the salon Rs 2,500 poorer. Though his hairdo didn’t cost anything at all, he splurged on almost every product used during the half an hour process — from shampoo to hair wax. And he’s excited about this unusual impulse buy, because it involves his firm’s foray into super premium hair-care business.
The makeshift salon was Hindustan Unilever’s training ground for its professional hair products brand TIGI, popularly known as Toni & Guy after its founders, which will be sold to consumers exclusively through top salons that use these products. “TIGI actually allows us to tick many boxes in our strategy,” says Bakshi, who this month completes 24 years in HUL, exactly half his life. “It allows us to complete our portfolio, have a presence in the category of the future and a presence in the channel of the future,” Bakshi says.
The company will enter hair colour segment in India through the new brand, and bring in other TIGI products including gel, shampoo, wax and mousse under Bed Head and S-Factor. Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch parent of HUL, acquired TIGI’s professional hair product business for $411.5 million in 2009. They carry super premium price tags, though. TIGI’s shampoo, at Rs 700-925 for 250 ml, costs almost eight times a normal one, and over four times the FMCG giant’s premium brand Dove. And TIGI products are at least 40 per cent costlier than most products of L’Oreal, the French cosmetics giant that controls over three-fourths of the urban salon market in the country, and other competitors such as P&G’s Wella and German brand Schwarzkopf.
“We don’t want to leave any gap in our portfolio in terms of price-points and TIGI comes and play a very important part in completing our portfolio as far as beauty is concerned in hair,” Bakshi says. “We would do the same thing across all our categories.” The company will sell TIGI products through just over 40 salons in the country to start with, making its reach of 6.4 million retail outlets somewhat superfluous in this case.
In comparison, L’Oreal sells its products under Professional, Matrix and Kerastase brands through more than 30,000 salons. “Consumers go to a salon because they don’t want to do colouring or other services at home. So, hairstylists can influence sales in a big way both during the service and also by advising post care products,” Aseem Kaushik, director of professional products division at L’Oreal India, says.
Hindustan Unilever, which has virtually covered the mass end of the market in most categories, has been focusing on premium products to improve its margins. This shift in strategy in fact helped the firm post its highest operating margin in a decade at 20 per cent for the year ended March 2013 and also resulted in two premium brands—Pond’s and Dove-—crossing the Rs 1,000-crore mark.
HUL’s upscale drive is primarily reflected in personal products, which has seen faster rollouts of new brands or categories. Its recent launches include TRESemme hair care range and extending Lux into deodorant and Dove into hair oil. Emerging categories contribute almost 14 per cent, or more than Rs 1,000 crore, to HUL’s personal care segment which, in turn, accounts for nearly half of the firm’s profits but less than a third of its total sales.

Essential beauty products for summers
Certain beauty products and cosmetics are a must-have to keep your skin and hair summer ready
As the season changes, there’s a change in the ways to take care of your skin and hair. And with summers setting in, you may need to keep away all the cosmetics which are essentially for winter-care. Now is the time to switch to some mild body lotions, invest into a good sunblock/sunscreen lotion et al. Here’s the list:
Face wash: Invest into a good face wash. In summers, your skin tends to become little oily thanks to humidity and dust will damage it more. So do wash your face with a mild face wash after every four hours.[ad name=”HTML-1″]
Sunscreen lotion: Atleast with SPF 30 which you must apply 30 minutes prior to stepping out of home. And keep reapplying after 3-4 hours.
Sunblock cream: If your routine involves stepping under scorching sunlight — keep an SPF 60 sunblock cream handy. Make sure it is water resistant. This is essential for those who take up swimming during the summers.[ad name=”HTML-1″]
Mild shampoo: For summers, it is essential to switch to mild shampoos as you will need to wash off your hair frequently and strong shampoos are not right choice.[ad name=”HTML-1″]
