At the ELLE Beauty Weekender presented by Tata CLiQ, we are celebrating all things beauty with Arpita Mehta. Best known for her refreshing, young and high-glam take on traditional silhouettes, the fashion designer is a renowned name amongst celebrities. Ahead of her participation at the three-day virtual event, find out her answers to our quick rapid fire.

ELLE: What does beauty mean to you personally?

Arpita Mehta (AM): Beauty to me is internal happiness. It always shows in your demeanour and on your face!

ELLE: Your beauty obsession?

AM: Always finding the right water-based light cream for my face that keeps my skin soft and supple.

ELLE: A beauty tip you would pass down to your children.

AM: Less is more always! Also, icing your face will give you instant freshness. I love that trick, and it is something I’d surely tell my kids.

ELLE: Your favourite fragrance?

AM: Chance by Chanel and Romance by Dolce & Gabbana.

ELLE: What’s the best beauty advice you’ve received?

AM: I was taught by my parents that fresh air, vitamin D and healthy eating are a big part of beauty.

ELLE: What’s your evening ritual?

AM: I’m generally at the office until evening, and the minute I’m home, I have to shower, eat dinner by 7:30 to 8 PM. I love eating my dinners early. Beauty wise I don’t have a specific routine, but at night before sleeping, I apply Vaseline under my eyes to keep my under-eyes hydrated.

ELLE: Your mantra for being confident?

AM: Working out and staying fit makes me feel confident, so I try doing that as much as possible.
