Shout out to all beauty queens! We’ve got good news in-store for you. Ps – it involves makeup!
When it comes to cosmetics, gotta admit, most of us have a preference for multinational cosmetics brands because we believe they are more reliable than local products. But did you know that there are cosmetics brands from Malaysia that are equally as good as the ones from other countries? Yeap, you heard that right.
The days when foreign cosmetics brands dominated the local market is over. Today, there is an increasing number of domestic brands that offer not just high-quality cosmetics, but affordable price points. We’ve got a list of local brands that sell lipsticks and other makeup products you should totally look into!
1. Pretty Suci
Pretty Suci bills itself as the top halal beauty portal in the world, and for good reason – the company sells a wide range of cosmetics and even has a line of grooming items just for males. Its “Lipstick Hub” in particular provides a large assortment of lipsticks and other lip care products. Recently, Pretty Suci and Sephora worked together to create the “Aisha” range, which is available at any nearby Sephora outlet.

2. NITA Cosmetics
Aznita Azman established NITA Cosmetics with the primary goal of providing today’s young ladies with an affordable selection of hypoallergenic cosmetics. Local customs, traditions and cuisines provide a distinct inspiration for each of her product lines. She even goes so far as to name them after aspects of our regional cultures, such as Cheongsam Matte Liquid Lipstick in Vibrant Orange, Kopi Susu Matte Liquid Lipstick in Chestnut Nude and Ais Kacang Matte Liquid Lipstick in Punch Nude. NITA Cosmetics also offers other beauty products for the face, eyes and even make up accessories.

6. SO.LEK
The sister-brother team behind SO.LEK produced items that are wudhu-friendly, cruelty-free, permeable to water, breathable, and reasonably priced! The witty brand name comes from the Malay term “solek,” which means “makeup,” and the abbreviation for “So? Relaks!”. Dahlia Nadirah started the halal-certified cosmetics company So.Lek Cosmetics because she wanted her business to honour her Malaysian ancestry while also serving budget-conscious beauty fans. Bestsellers include its soft-matte liquid lipsticks, which have hip Malaysian names, ranging from native fruits to musical instruments. Apart from lipsticks, SO.LEK also sells other cosmetics items, from halal nail polish to skincare products.
