Sidharth Malhotra is the face of a new cruelty-free make-up collection

Actor Sidharth Malhotra has collaborated with a make-up brand. Yes you heard that right! He stars in the brand’s unique and disruptive marketing campaign strategy, where a male celebrity is the face of a makeup campaign - for the first time ever.

Drawing attention to the cruelty-free philosophy of the brand, Sidharth being the sport that he is, said he liked the tongue-in-cheek approach of the #TestedOnSid campaign, which highlights the 'Guilt-free Glamour' aspect of the brand.

Talking about the same, Sidharth says, "I first thought I had heard wrong when a makeup brand wanted to feature me in their campaign. I mean, it’s one thing to be a metrosexual man, but makeup? Really? Then I saw the premise, which is #TestedOnSID, and signed up as a willing guinea pig because I’d any day sign up for a product that is not tested on animals. I think the colours represent today’s young ladies: confident, strong, self-assured, and unafraid to express themselves. I hope their men clear the ‘test’ with flying colours."

Of the campaign, Malaika Mahtaney, Chief Marketing Officer, MyGlamm, said “We’re excited about featuring a male star as the face of the campaign as a way of conveying that while our products are not tested on animals, they may, more often than not, be ‘tested’ on coveted men.”
