'kaya palat'


Explanation:
to transform = kaya palat (change of form, kaya literally means the exter form or skin) and palat means to change. 'Kaya palat hona' is also used as a metaphor to represent radical change in form, shape or one's stand.

kaya-kalp


Explanation:
in the context of "beauty & cosmetics", i feel "kaya-kalp" is more nearer. The same meaning in Hindi: काया-कल्प

disagree  Balasubramaniam L.: कायाकल्प is more used in the context of cataclysmic changes and therefore seems inappropriate in the context ob beauty and cosmetics. I suggest रूप परिवर्तन (roop parivartan) instead. Roop means beauty and parivartan

metamorphosis
रूप परिवर्तन


Explanation:
रूप (roop) means beauty or figure, and परिवर्तन means(change.

काया (kaya)means body, therefore कायापरिवर्तन (kayaparivartan)is also a suitable term.

But कायाकल्प(kayakalp)is incorrect in this context, because it refers to more elemental changes.
