PhilosophyCelebrity-founded Indian beauty brand backed by Kriti Sanon, formulated for Indian skin and climate.Soft, blush-coded color cosmetics for the girl who wants editorial without effort.

Hyphen

Hyphen is the Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon-cofounded skincare brand built specifically around Indian skin needs — heavy humidity, hard water, melanin-rich pigmentation patterns. The vitamin C-led brightening line is the clear hero, and the broader catalog leans treatment-led with celebrity-marketing reach. Mid-tier pricing, distribution heavy on Nykaa and Amazon India.

Pros

✓ Celebrity-backed credibility
✓ Formulated for Indian climate
✓ Strong vitamin C lineup
✓ Strong India D2C distribution

Cons

✗ Celebrity branding can feel marketing-led
✗ Limited international distribution
✗ Newer brand

Dasique

Dasique is the brand that put nine-pan eyeshadow palettes back on every K-beauty TikTok For You page. Powders are buttery-fine, the color stories lean petal-soft and work-friendly, and the price point sits squarely in "yes, buy it on a whim" territory. Think 3CE's gentler younger sister — less party, more Sunday-brunch-with-glow.
