It's not just about beauty but symbolises lightness and energy and is all about not letting anything weigh you down."
Talking about the collection, the designers said they tried to keep the range true to their DNA which is about being glamorous and feminine. The designer said in an interview with PTI: "There is a sense of lightness in the fabrics that we are using, the whole philosophy behind the lipsticks, the matte lipsticks are very lightweight, we got the lightness and freedom to the line with a sense of women empowerment and edginess is well."
