Beauty products do well when they are marketed by beautiful women. There is no scope of doubt in this marketing strategy of cosmetic brands. Most leading cosmetic brands choose the reigning divas of Bollywood to be the face of their product line. In fact, the more endorsements a celebrity does, the higher is the brand value.

Celebrity endorsements also determine the value and positioning of a brand. For example, an anti-ageing cream will not sign up an actress or model in her twenties to be their brand ambassador. Take Olay as a cosmetic brand for example. Olay has used different celebrities to market several types of product lines, The anti-ageing beauty products of Olay are promoted by mature actresses like Kajol and Madhuri Dixit. Olay aslo has an anti-marks product that is marketed by 30-something celebrities like Soha Ali Khan and Tisca Chopra. The Olay fairness cream has Katrina Kaif as its face.

Often, celebrities also replace each other as the face of a particular cosmetic brand. This can signal that the crown is slipping from the previous brand ambassador. It could also mean that the brand itself needs a face lift. Recently, Deepika Padukone replaced Priyanka Chopra to become the face of Garnier.

Let us take look at some of the best celebrity endorsements for cosmetic products.
