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.

Jio Financial Services posts Rs 1,560 crore FY26 profit
Revenue rises to Rs 3,513 crore as investments and lending scale up.
MUMBAI: If money makes the world go round, Jio Financial Services Limited is quietly spinning a much bigger wheel. The Reliance-backed financial arm reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 1,560.9 crore for FY26, slightly lower than Rs 1,612.6 crore in FY25, even as revenue growth gathered pace.
Total revenue from operations rose sharply to Rs 3,513.3 crore in FY26 from Rs 2,042.9 crore a year earlier, driven largely by a surge in interest income, which more than doubled to Rs 1,901.9 crore from Rs 852.5 crore. Fee and commission income also saw a significant jump to Rs 597 crore, compared to Rs 155.2 crore in FY25, reflecting expanding financial services activity.
For the March quarter, profit stood at Rs 272.2 crore, broadly flat compared to Rs 269 crore in the same period last year. Quarterly revenue from operations climbed to Rs 1,018.5 crore, up from Rs 493.2 crore year-on-year, signalling steady momentum in core income streams.
Expenses, however, moved in tandem with growth. Total costs nearly quadrupled to Rs 1,982.9 crore in FY26 from Rs 524.8 crore in FY25, with finance costs alone rising to Rs 745.1 crore from just Rs 7.7 crore a year earlier, reflecting increased borrowing and scale of operations. Employee expenses also grew to Rs 387.3 crore, while other expenses expanded to Rs 755 crore.
Profit before tax stood at Rs 1,911.7 crore for the year, slightly below Rs 1,946.9 crore in FY25. After accounting for a total tax outgo of Rs 350.8 crore, the company reported its final net profit figure.
Beyond the income statement, the balance sheet tells a story of rapid expansion. Total assets surged to Rs 1,63,497 crore as of March 31, 2026, up from Rs 1,33,510 crore a year earlier. Investments alone stood at Rs 1,33,088.7 crore, underscoring the company’s strong focus on treasury and financial asset growth.
However, the year also saw sharp volatility in other comprehensive income, which swung to a loss of Rs 16,028.3 crore, largely driven by fair value changes in equity instruments. This dragged total comprehensive income for FY26 to a negative Rs 15,756.1 crore, compared to a positive Rs 14,870 crore in FY25.
On the capital front, the company’s paid-up equity share capital remained steady at Rs 6,353.1 crore, with other equity rising to Rs 1,27,500.5 crore.
The numbers reflect a business in transition scaling rapidly across lending, investments and fee-based services, but also navigating the volatility that comes with mark-to-market movements in financial assets. In other words, while the top line is accelerating, the fine print still carries a few swings.
