10 Homegrown Brands

Blur India

Blur India

Shop On

The number one rule of applying lipsticks is not to eat it. But when it comes to Blur, we make sure we buy two of the same products because we end up gorging over the first one (think lip glosses that taste and smell like birthday cake). Beyond having products that smell, look and taste so good, the brand aces the makeup game with collections that quite literally blur the line between beauty and affordability. Their meltdown candle-based body lotions are our favourite, and trust us, you won’t think twice before picking new sets of their bold bullet lipsticks too. We also love the way they name their products; unhinged and so memorable, you will love recommending them just because of their names!
