A price read only - no claim about fabric, fit or how anything wears.
Fifty-three Nykaa mascara, blush and compact listings, read 1 November 2026 from Nykaa's own search response. The median discount badge is just 15% — beauty barely discounts. Grouped by house, the order nearly inverts prestige: Nykaa's own label at a 40% median, Maybelline 35%, Lakme 30% — and M.A.C, MORPHE and Charlotte Tilbury at 10%. Every one of the 53 publishes a rating, which is rare; the largest pool, 1,134,147, sits at 38% and the second largest, 765,704, at 10%. Prices Rs. 86 to Rs. 4,725, median Rs. 302.

The claimed MRP tracks the name: Sparx states 1.05 times its selling price and badges 4%, Bata states 1.72x and badges 41.5%, while Roadster states 5.16x (badge 80.5%) and ROYAL KHWAAB 5.80x (83%).

Six listings state an MRP more than eight times their selling price, up to 25.0x, and all six are glue; this page excludes them from its arithmetic and names them. The brands a shopper recognises badge at a median of 12%; the listings with no such name badge at 68.5%. All 34 publish a rating, and the largest pool of the lot - 22,367 ratings - carries a 12% badge. A price read only, with no claim about blades, adhesives or ink.
