Explore The Makeup Brand Championing South Asian Beauty

“There are billions of us, each with layered, intersectional identities and experiences. Part of my mission with Kulfi is to create space that reflects even a small part of that nuance,” Priyanka tells us exclusively. “There’s no one way to look South Asian, no single story to tell. That’s why we partner with different creators and voices—to show that South Asian beauty is expansive, personal, and always defined on our own terms.”
Community is central to Kulfi and Priyanka is always using customer feedback to help shape the brand’s product offering. “We’re not just here to sell makeup (though we make great makeup); we’re creating a space where people feel seen, celebrated, and like they can be that girl on their own terms,” Priyanka says. “Even now, so much of beauty is still about fitting into a narrow ideal. At Kulfi, we’re saying: come as you are - and know that’s more than enough.”
The current line up is succinct and consists of nine dreamy makeup products that promise to put the playfulness back into beauty. Here are the formulas we tried, tested and fell in love with…
Our Must-Have Kulfi Makeup Products
Kulfi
Main Match Concealer, £26.00Concealer is the backbone to a lot of makeup looks and Kulfi’s Main Match Concealer provides long-lasting, crease-proof coverage. The formula is buildable and conceals dark circles, blemishes and redness with ease.

Zari Eyes Eyeshadow, £30.00These eyeshadows are Priyanka’s desert island must-haves. “If I’m stuck on a desert island and need to send a signal, I’m reaching for Sona Sona. That shimmer? You could see it from space. It’s so reflective and so stunning,” she tells us. “But honestly, it’s one of those products that makes you feel instantly like a goddess - even if you’re stranded somewhere.” Having worn Sitara Sparkles in the midst of the most recent heatwaves, we can vouch for the longevity of the pigment too.

Kulfi
Lassi Lips Staining Lip Oil, £24.00If you’re looking for seriously long-lasting, matte colour and super hydrating formula, let us introduce you to the Lassi Lips Staining Lip Oil. It is nothing short of exceptional. While the high-shine gloss fades as all glosses do, the coloured tint lasts for hours without looking patchy. It’s the lip product you need for weddings, festivals, parties, you name it. We’re very into the pop-pink Guava shade for summer, but once autumn arrives, we’ll be testing out the punchy Black Cherry hue.

Kulfi
Underlined Kajal Eyeliner, £20.00We would say that more makeup brands need a kajal liner in their line up, but Kulfi has created the ultimate kajal so there really is no need. Whether you want to achieve a high-impact smoky eye or minimalist definition along your waterline, the Underlined Kajal Eyeliner is a must-have. You have around 20-30 seconds to shape and blend the formula before it dries, and then you’re set for the day.

Kulfi
Badi Lash Mascara, £26.00This lightweight, tubing mascara doesn’t flake, smudge or leave your lashes feeling crispy. The narrow brush allows you to coat each and every lash – even the short, fine lashes, while the tri-peptide complex helps nourish your natural lashes. You can expect noteworthy volume and lift in a couple of swipes. We love how quick and easy it is to remove before bed too!
