Vicky Kaushal, the heartthrob of Bollywood, usually leaves fans swooning with his on-screen charm and off-screen antics. His recent appearance in the song Tauba Tauba has only intensified his appeal, making more heads turn in admiration. But it’s not just his acting skills that keep him in the spotlight; his life with Katrina Kaif, who besides being a celebrated actress is also a beauty entrepreneur, often garners attention. Recently, Katrina launched a new range of lipsticks, and who better to help promote these than her dashing husband, Vicky? The promotional video intended to showcase the product charmingly featured Vicky supporting his wife’s venture. However, something in that video didn’t sit quite right with me, and perhaps with other beauty enthusiasts as well.
Vicky Kaushal Swatches Lipstick On Hand
The moment that caught my eye, and admittedly gave me the kicks, was when Vicky demonstrated the lipstick. Instead of using the conventional flat side of the lipstick for swatching, Vicky used the sharp edge, applying it somewhat awkwardly on his hand. This seemingly trivial detail might not disturb the untrained eye, but for anyone familiar with the delicate art of makeup, it was slightly jarring.
Why the fuss, you might ask? Well, using the sharp edge of the lipstick to swatch doesn’t just risk deforming its beautifully crafted tip; it also goes against the grain of what that design is for. Typically, the slanted shape of a lipstick tip is ergonomically crafted to hug the contours of the lips, making application seamless and precise. Moreover, this shape helps in lining the lips—a crucial step for achieving that perfect pout. Seeing it used in any other way, especially with the wrong side, disrupts the very essence of its design. It’s like watching someone use a butter knife to cut through a steak—functional, perhaps, but oh so wrong!

This moment, albeit small, highlights a gap that often exists between male celebrities endorsing beauty products and their familiarity with them. It’s endearing to see them try, certainly, but perhaps a quick tutorial wouldn’t hurt before the cameras roll. After all, in the age of high-definition videos and viral content, every detail counts.
So, while Vicky Kaushal continues to be the charming man that fans adore, this little lipstick fiasco serves as a funny yet pivotal reminder: even the simplest tools require a certain savoir-faire to be used correctly. Here’s hoping next time, the application is as flawless as the man himself, or at least close to it!
