Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kiara Advani, and Suhana Khan talk all things beauty

People perceive beauty differently, and, with time, their definition of the term evolves—from a thing on the outside to a more from-the-within concept. The same holds true for these three very beautiful women from cinema—Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kiara Advani, and Suhana Khan—each of who represents a unique version of beauty. Little wonder, Tira, in its vision of being the leading beauty destination for accessible yet aspirational beauty, got them together to be the faces of its first-ever campaign #ForEveryYou.

In an exclusive chat with Bazaar India, the trio celebrated the role of beauty and shared details on their go-to beauty products, their beauty icons, the things about beauty that their job taught them, and more.

Harper’s Bazaar: What do you want to represent through this campaign?

Kareena Kapoor Khan: Tira stands on the fundamentals of being true to yourself. I resonate with this because I have also always lived by it.

Kiara Advani: For me, beauty has always been about self-expression and self-love. I loved that one of Tira’s core pillars is about allowing people to tread on the journey of self-exploration and reminds them to embrace their own unique version of beauty.

Suhana Khan: I am thrilled to work with a brand that challenges the traditional meaning of beauty and focuses on the whole “you do you” mindset. At Tira, there are no rules and everything is about finding your own version of what is beautiful.

HB: What were the very first things that you learnt about beauty in the film industry?

KKK: I learnt to keep my skin hydrated, adhering to a disciplined skincare regimen, and embracing the less-is more approach.”

KA: I learnt that beauty is all about well-being. Learning to prioritise self-care practices can significantly impact your appearance and overall health.

SK: I learnt about the importance of sleep!

 

HB: What’s your first and fondest memory of makeup?

KKK: One of my earliest and most cherished memories related to make-up involves experimenting with my mother’s lipstick and kohl when I was a child.

KA: As a kid, I used to sneak my mom’s skincare products and was often caught with my fingers in tubs of cold creams or playing with perfumes.

SK: Sometimes when I visited my dad on set, I would be mesmerised by the make-up van and make-up artists. Make-up vans were my equivalent of candy stores.

 

HB: Take us through your beauty and skincare regime.

KKK: Staying well-hydrated is crucial. I follow the simple routine of cleansing, toning, and moisturising, with special attention dedicated to moisturising. I keep a sunscreen handy at all times.

KA: I have a strong affinity for homemade facial and hair treatments using natural ingredients. Often, I create concoction drawing inspiration from age-old recipes from my grandmothers and mother. Also, sunscreen is key! I’ll never skip it.

SK: I love fun additions like eye patches or a face mask to my basic skincare routine. But consistency is key—I’ll always stick to my OG routine, too.

 

HB: Has your definition of beauty changed over time?

KKK: I have evolved from viewing beauty as something that transforms you into another person to realising it actually is something that enhances your true self and makes you confident in your own skin.

KA: I have always felt and still believe that beauty is an inside-out job. When you feel confident, happy and comfortable, you look the same way on the outside.

 

HB: Which have been the go-to beauty products that you’ve stayed loyal to for a very long time?

KKK: Lipstick, kohl and mascara.

KA: Brow liner, blush on, and highlighter.

SK: Illuminating primer, mascara, and lip gloss.

 

HB: Are there any beauty trends or hacks you love?

KKK: I love wearing lots of highlighter, so I always add it onto the high points of my face—my cheekbones, brow bone and the bridge of my nose.

KA: I love the glazed donut skin trend. It makes my skin look glossy, shiny, and hydrated.

SK: I love the clean girl make-up look—it is my vibe!

 

HB: What is your go-to make-up look?

KKK: I could never go wrong with some kohl, a hint of cheek tint and a lip balm.

KA: I am fond of a radiant and dewy base, coupled with subtly defined eyes and glamorous lips.

SK: My go to make-up look is the no make-up look. A subtle base, some mascara and a pink lipstick, and I’m good to go!

 

HB: Who have been the beauty icons who have inspired you over time?

KKK: Growing up, I was inspired by my sister Karisma Kapoor and my mom, Babita. I didn’t just pick up beauty secrets from them but also learnt that being comfortable in one’s skin is the first step to feeling beautiful.

SK: My icon has always been my mother. She has maintained a disciplined skincare routine throughout her life. She has not only shared her self-care rituals with me but has also passed down her wonderful genes.
