Indian market is also loaded with several beauty and cosmetic products being promoted by the bollywood celebrities. Even most beauty products endorsed by such celebrities focuses on white beauty, fairness and those who are dark tone considered as unattractive and ugly. Very few people consider the natural beauty as real beauty. Slowly and steadily the definition of beauty is changing along with the change on mindset of the public.
