Cosmetics for Men

Owing to K-pop, a genre of Korean pop music, flawless skin — natural or corrected by cosmetics — has become non-gender-specific.

Due to prevailing gender stereotypes, the word “make-up” insinuates feminine connotations and for decades the market has been largely dominated by products targeted solely to the female population. But that discourse is shifting, and behavior is changing with it.

Not too long ago, a spot of moisturizer or aftershave was one thing, but anything more for men was taboo. But times have changed, and male grooming is now a Rs 3,800-crore market in India.

Popular Superstitions in India

Any belief or behavior that is based on supernatural causes and contradicts current science is referred to as superstition. Superstitious beliefs and behaviors vary greatly from person to person and from culture to culture. In India, a black cat crossing the road denotes ill luck, whereas a crow cawing signals that visitors are on their way.

The word "superstition" is believed to come from the Latin superstitio, which means "to be amazed." The term is also related to the Latin word superstes, which means "outliving" or "surviving," and refers to ideas and values that have survived long after their original meaning has been forgotten.

Many people claim that superstitious practices date back to the dawn of time. Humans tried to construct an understandable universe with forces that could be affected by intervention in the face of natural disasters such as thunderstorms and earthquakes, as well as the unpredictability of disease and food supply.

Actors, miners, fishermen, and gamblers are all more superstitious than the average person, and the performance of all of these jobs is more out of the individual's control.
