Colorbar

Founded in 2004 by Samir Krishan Modi, Colorbar began with 16 lipsticks and 16 nail lacquers, initially sold directly to retailers. From around 2010, the brand shifted from supermarket, kirana, and shop-in-shop distribution toward company-owned standalone stores and a mass-premium position. Its identity centers on self-expression, individuality, and inclusive beauty, expressed through color cosmetics and bespoke services such as personalized lipstick creation and engraving. Its official history also records two Guinness World Records related to nail-polish customization and nail filing and varnishing. In 2025, Colorbar presented “ColorBar 2.0,” a refresh involving formulations, packaging, and consumer experience, while Modi described his involvement in product development from end to end. Colorbar is a Modi Enterprises business.
