Tint Cosmetics opens Tint Labs, India’s first custom beauty studio

Mumbai: Tint Cosmetics has added a hands-on twist to India’s beauty scene with the launch of Tint Labs, the country’s first custom beauty studio dedicated to personalised, made-to-order makeup experiences. Designed as a creative playground rather than a traditional store, the studio marks a new chapter for the clean and inclusive beauty brand.

Located in Andheri West, Tint Labs offers an offline, appointment-only format where customers step behind the counter to create their own makeup. The studio debuts with a build-your-own lip gloss experience, with plans to expand into more beauty categories over time as the concept grows.

At the heart of the experience is participation. Visitors begin with a personalised skin analysis to understand their tone and undertone, followed by a simple introduction to colour theory and expert-led shade matching. From there, they blend a custom lip gloss tailored to their preferences, choosing both colour and scent, before finishing it off with charms and accessories that turn the product into a personal keepsake.

The 60 to 75 minute workshop is designed to feel intimate and unrushed, focusing on discovery as much as creation. By keeping the experience offline, Tint Labs leans into a high-touch approach that puts personalisation firmly in the spotlight.

Founder Arshia Kaur Vijan said, “The idea was born from a familiar question that refuses to go away: which shade actually suits me”. Tint Labs, she explains, removes the guesswork by letting customers create rather than search for their perfect match.

Staying true to Tint’s philosophy, all products made at the studio are clean, vegan, cruelty-free and FDA-approved. The workshop, priced at Rs 2,499, is available by appointment through the brand’s official website.

With Tint Labs now open in SV Patel Nagar, Andheri West, Tint Cosmetics is inviting beauty lovers to look beyond the shelf and treat makeup as an experience, not just a purchase.
