Vipasha Agarwal

Vipasha Agarwal

Top model, ramp regular and the face of Lakme, Vipasha Agarwal shares her beauty & fashion secrets.

It’s hard to believe that this sultry siren is from a traditional Marwari family in small-town Benaras (her family owns one of Benara’s oldest sari houses). Educated at St. John’s Mehraull in Benaras and Amity University, Noida, Vipasha never thought she could be a model till she was spotted by Elite Models CEO. And the rest is history. She shares with Lakmeindiacom her beauty & fashion tips.

My Morning Beauty Regimen
I drink a bottle of water first thing in the morning, this is a sure fire way of keeping my skin looking healthy & glowing the entire day.
My Quick Beauty Tip
Use Lakme kajal & gloss to immediately brighten up your face.
Must-haves in my Handbag
Lip balm & Lakme kajal
Clothes I’m most comfortable in
My favorite pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
My Favorite Cosmetics
I have been using Lakme kajal since my teenage years as I love the smudgy smoky look one can achieve with it. The Lakme glosses too have lovely nude shades, which really enhance my lips.
My Salon/Spa Routine
Once a month I visit the Lakme salon at Churchgate for a skin service, manicure and pedicure. I especially enjoy the Floral Bliss Facial at the salon.
My Style Advice
Be yourself; wear whatever suits you instead of blindly following trends. Be comfortable in what you wear and wear it with attitude.
Favorite Shopping Destinations
I am not an accessories person so I don’t shop for them, but I love buying clothes, especially dresses, and my favorite shopping spots are TopShop in London, Mango, and United colors of Benetton in Mumbai and of course who can resist window shopping in Paris!
My Wardrobe Favorites
A selection of silk Benarasi sarees in pastel shades that my mom gifted me on my last birthday.
My Favorite Designers
Sabyasachi, Rakesh Agarwal, and Deepika Govind to name a few.
