Lip & Colour
2027

Sixteen lip and colour products shoppers reach for every day: serum balms, sleeping masks, lip oils, dessert jellies, plumping jellies, colour change balms, soft mattes, lip muds and water tints, then skin tints, cushions, primers and blush oil. Pick one, and we make it yours.

Inside

Lip leads, colour follows, one factory

Lip is the fastest growing line we make: it is small, cheap to try, easy to gift and quick to sell on a live stream. Every concept here answers one reason a shopper picks up a lip or colour product, for one kind of shopper, and is built on formulas our lab already makes. Each comes with three reasons brands pick it, the market behind it, where it goes in 2027 and how it grows into a full line.

Lip care

Care first, then colour

Lip care is the part of the lip shelf shoppers buy most often and replace without thinking, which is why it is worth doing well. Balms already lead lip sales in Malaysia and across Asia-Pacific, but shoppers who use serums on their face now expect more from their lips: a balm that melts like a serum, a mask that works while they sleep, a scrub that makes lipstick sit right, and care for lips that look dark or dull. Each one is a step, and steps sell in sets. For 2027 the opening is a local brand that builds a small lip routine, day, night and weekly, in skincare words shoppers already trust, with a vitamin E grown in Malaysia at its heart.

The market in numbers

Malaysia's lip care market is put at USD 95 million in 2026, heading for USD 160 million by 2032, about 9.1% a year; balms and moisturisers sell the most units, while lip masks and overnight treatments are rated high demand.

Mobility Foresights (Malaysia Lip Care Products Market, report summary, 2026 to 2032 forecast), 2026

Worldwide, lip balms took 64.5% of lip care sales in 2025, and Asia-Pacific was the largest region at 39.1% (global).

Grand View Research (Lip Care Products Market, report summary), 2025

Asia-Pacific held 36.03% of the lip mask market in 2025, about USD 404 million, and overnight sleeping masks made up 61.06% of the category (Asia).

Balm

Melting Serum Balm

A balm that melts into a serum on the lips.

“My lip balm just sits on top like wax, and by the time I finish my teh tarik my lips feel dry again.”

Most lip balms feel like a coat of wax: on, then gone, then on again. Shoppers who use serums on their face now ask why their lips get the plainest product in the bag. Melting Serum Balm answers with texture first. It looks like a firm balm in the pot, then melts at lip warmth into a silky, serum-like layer that feels cushioned, not greasy. Skincare words sit on the label: ceramide, squalane, panthenol and hyaluronic acid, plus tocotrienol, a vitamin E grown in Malaysian palm. For a brand, it moves lip balm from a checkout impulse buy to a skincare step worth paying more for.

Why brands pick it

1

A texture people talk about

The melt from balm to serum is easy to film up close, which makes it a natural fit for short videos and live selling.

2

Skincare words on a lip product

Shoppers who know ceramide and squalane from face serums recognise them at once, so the balm explains itself on the shelf.

3

A home-grown hero

Tocotrienol from Malaysian palm gives local brands a proud origin story that imported balms cannot copy.

Why there is demand

  • Malaysia's lip care market is put at USD 95 million in 2026, heading for USD 160 million by 2032, about 9.1% a year; balms and moisturisers sell the most units.1
  • Asia-Pacific lip care was worth USD 1.18 billion in 2024 and is forecast to reach USD 1.70 billion by 2030, about 6.3% a year, with lip balm the leading segment.2
  • Worldwide, lip balms took 64.5% of lip care sales in 2025, helped by tinted and ingredient-led balms; Asia-Pacific was the largest region at 39.1%.3

2027 outlook

Lip balm is already the biggest lip care product in Malaysia and across Asia-Pacific, so the question for 2027 is not whether shoppers buy a balm but which one they trade up to. Ingredient-led and tinted balms are where the growth is, and Malaysian lip care is forecast to grow faster than the regional average. A melting serum balm with skincare words and a Malaysian vitamin E story is well placed for that trade up.123

Sell the melt. Film the balm on a fingertip or straight from the applicator turning glossy on the lips, then name the skincare inside it. Price it above a basic balm and aim it at shoppers who already buy face serums. It suits skincare-led brands, pharmacy chains, Raya and wedding gift sets, and live selling where close-up texture shots win the sale.

Lip mask

Overnight Lip Mask

Sleep in it, wake up to soft lips.

“The air-con runs all night in my room, and my lips are peeling by the time I wake up for Subuh.”

Lips dry out most at night, under a fan or an air conditioner running for eight hours, and most people go to bed with nothing on them. Overnight Lip Mask makes the last step of the night a lip step. It is thicker than a balm, sits in a cushiony layer that does not slide onto the pillow, and leaves soft, comfortable lips by morning. Sweet lip-safe flavours like vanilla, berry or coconut make it a small treat before sleep. For a brand, one jar becomes a nightly habit and a second lip product in every basket, next to the day balm or lipstick.

Why brands pick it

1

A second lip product in every basket

Shoppers already own a day balm or lipstick; a night mask adds a new step instead of replacing one.

2

Built for air-con nights

Long hours of air conditioning leave lips tight and flaky, and a mask worn through the night speaks straight to that.

3

Gift and bundle friendly

A small jar in vanilla, berry or coconut works as an add-on, a Raya hamper item or a gift with purchase.

02Overnight Lip MaskTocotrienol (a palm vitamin E grown in Malaysia), hyaluronic acid and panthenol for moisture, with shea butter, coconut oil and a soft jelly that form a sealing layer, plus lip-safe flavours such as vanilla, berry and coconut.
Make it as: Jar lip mask with spatula, Night mask in a pot with a spatula, Travel mini mask

What each part brings

The seal
Locks in overnight
a rich layer of shea and soft jelly stays put through the night instead of sliding off
The drink
Water-loving care
hyaluronic acid and panthenol help lips feel full of moisture by morning
The morning
Wake up smoother
tocotrienol, a Malaysian palm vitamin E, helps lips look softer and smoother

Why there is demand

  • Lip masks were worth about USD 1.12 billion worldwide in 2025; Asia-Pacific held 36.03% and is the fastest-growing region, and overnight sleeping masks took 61.06% of the category.1
  • In Malaysia, lip masks and overnight treatments are rated high demand, and they sell mainly through online marketplaces.2
  • Buyers sourcing lip masks on a global B2B marketplace grew 30.95% year on year, a sign that more brands are adding a lip mask to their range (global).3

2027 outlook

Lip masks are growing fastest in Asia-Pacific, led by Korean-style routines that treat lips like skin, and overnight masks are already the bigger part of the category. In Malaysia the format sells mostly online, which suits new brands that launch on marketplaces and through live selling. More brands are sourcing lip masks for their ranges, so in 2027 a well-flavoured night mask with a local vitamin E story needs a clear bedtime angle to stand out.123

How to sell the full range

Sell the bedtime habit, not the ingredient list. Show the jar on a bedside table, a swipe before sleep, and soft lips in the morning light. Offer it in two or three flavours and bundle it with a day balm as a day and night pair. It fits skincare brands, sleep and wellness brands, Raya and year-end gift sets, and marketplace stores where lip masks already sell well.

Scrub

Sugar Polish Scrub

Polish off flakes before colour.

“My matte lipstick looks patchy and cracked by lunch because of dry flakes I can never get rid of.”

Matte and long-wear lip colours are everywhere, and every one of them shows the same flaw: dry flakes. Colour clings to them, cracks around them and looks patchy by lunchtime. Sugar Polish Scrub is the thirty-second step before colour. Fine sugar and natural luffa grains loosen flakes with a light rub, then a cushion of coconut, almond and rice bran oils leaves lips smooth and soft, ready for lipstick or balm. Watermelon and dragon fruit flavours make it fun to use, and a mini pot fits in a pocket. For a brand, it is a low-cost add-on that makes every lip colour in the range look better.

Why brands pick it

1

Makes the colour look better

A smooth base helps matte and long-wear shades go on evenly, so the scrub sells itself next to every lipstick.

2

Easy to show on camera

Close-ups of flaky lips turning smooth are simple, honest content for short videos and live selling.

3

A low-cost add-on

Small pots are easy impulse buys and natural gifts with purchase during campaigns.

03Sugar Polish ScrubFine sugar and natural luffa grains to lift dry flakes, coconut, sweet almond and rice bran oils with shea butter to leave lips soft, and lip-safe flavours such as watermelon, orange and dragon fruit.

Why there is demand

  • Lip exfoliating scrubs are forecast to grow from USD 2.44 billion in 2025 to USD 4.13 billion by 2033, about 6.8% a year, with Southeast Asia named an emerging demand hotspot (global).1
  • A second estimate puts lip scrubs at USD 0.6 billion in 2025, rising to USD 0.9 billion by 2034; Asia-Pacific holds 22.4% and is the fastest-growing region.2
  • Lip scrubs are cited as the fastest-growing lip care subcategory at 7.16% a year, and Asia-Pacific holds 36.89% of lip care sales in 2025.3

2027 outlook

Lip scrubs are a small category growing faster than lip care as a whole, and Southeast Asia is named among the places where demand is rising. Growth is tied to matte and long-wear colour, which needs a smooth base, and to the move toward natural exfoliants such as sugar. In 2027, a sugar scrub that comes as a pot, a balm and a tinted version gives a lip colour brand an easy prep step to sell beside every shade.123

Balm

Pinky Bright Lip

For lips that look dark or dull.

“Years of smoking and riding my motorbike in the sun have left my lips dark, and I notice it in every photo.”

Dark or dull looking lips are one of the most common worries shoppers bring up, and not only women. Smoking, sun on the daily commute and dry air all leave lips looking uneven, and many men want a fix that does not look like makeup. Pinky Bright Lip is a care balm first: a vitamin C ester, ceramide and tocotrienol help lips look softer, rosier and more even with regular use, while a sheer pink tint gives an instant lift. A clear balm suits men, a tinted one suits women, and an overnight mask adds a night step. For a brand, it answers a question shoppers already type into the search bar.

Why brands pick it

1

Speaks to a real worry

Dark looking lips from smoking or sun are a common, personal concern, and a care balm lets shoppers act on it quietly.

2

Works for men too

An untinted, unscented balm in plain packaging looks like ordinary lip care, which makes it easy for men to buy and use.

3

Something to see on day one

The sheer tint gives a rosier look straight away, so shoppers stay with the care balm long enough to make it a habit.

04Pinky Bright LipA vitamin C ester, ceramide and tocotrienol (a palm vitamin E grown in Malaysia) in a shea and coconut oil balm, with a sheer pink tint in the tinted version and UV filters in a day version.

Why there is demand

  • In Malaysia, 35.7% of men and 1.5% of women currently smoke, about 4.8 million adults: a large, mostly male group for care aimed at dark looking lips.1
  • In a study of 213 men, current smokers were 5.6 times more likely to show lip pigmentation than non-smokers, and it rose with cigarettes smoked per day (Japan).2
  • Asia-Pacific is expected to take the largest share of lip balm sales, with concern over lip pigmentation and discolouration named as one driver (global report).3

2027 outlook

Dark looking lips are a quiet, steady concern across Asia, and in Malaysia the smoking population alone runs to millions of adults, most of them men. Care that promises a rosier, more even look, in calm words, fits shoppers who want care rather than makeup. In 2027, brands that offer a clear balm for men and a tinted one for women can serve both, and add a day balm with SPF, since sun plays a part too.123

Lip glow

Shine that people film

Glow is the lip look of the camera era. Close-up videos made glossy, glassy lips the default, and shoppers now want that shine without the sticky feel of old-style gloss. Lip oils give a wet, cushiony shine with oils that care for lips underneath. Lip jellies give a juicy, bouncy layer and carry flavour, which young shoppers pick as eagerly as colour. Plumping jellies add a cool tingle and a fuller look, and peptide treatments bring skincare into the lip bottle. All of them are cheap to extend: one base can carry clear, tinted, shimmer and cooling versions, so new shades and flavours drop every month. Korean lip products have shown how fast this moves across Asia. For 2027, the chance is a local glow range that launches often and sells live.

The market in numbers

Korean lip cosmetic exports rose 37% to USD 409.96 million in January to August 2025, against 11% for skincare, and lip sales in Japan rose 69% (Asia).

The Asia Business Daily, quoting the Korea International Trade Association, 25 September 2025

Lip gloss is worth about USD 4.52 billion worldwide in 2025; Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region at 8.48% a year to 2031, with influencers driving uptake in Southeast Asia.

Mordor Intelligence (Lip Gloss Market, report summary), 2026

Lip oil sales worldwide are forecast to grow from USD 565.45 million in 2024 to USD 754.13 million by 2030, about 4.9% a year, helped by flavours, tints and influencer marketing (global).

Lip oil

Dew Lip Oil

Glass shine that cares.

“I love the glossy look, but most glosses feel sticky and my hair and tudung keep catching on them.”

Lip oil went from niche to everyday in a few years, carried by close-up videos of glossy, glassy lips. What shoppers still complain about is the feel: glosses that are sticky, catch hair and tudung, and leave lips dry when they wear off. Dew Lip Oil is built around comfort. A cushiony oil gel gives a wet, glass-like shine without tack, while plant squalane, a fermented oil blend and tocotrienol care for lips underneath. It comes clear, in sheer tints like rose, cherry and peach, or with a cool tingle. For a brand, it is the trend format with a care story, and a shade library that is easy to grow.

Why brands pick it

1

The look people screenshot

A wet, glassy shine is the lip look of the moment, and it photographs well in every video and selfie.

2

Comfort that keeps it on

No sticky tack and no tight, dry feel afterwards, so shoppers wear it all day and finish the bottle.

3

A shade library made easy

One base carries clear, tinted and cooling versions, so new shades launch fast and at low cost.

05Dew Lip OilPlant squalane, a fermented oil blend, tocotrienol (a palm vitamin E grown in Malaysia), shea butter and a vitamin C ester, held in a cushiony oil gel, with menthol for a cool tingle in the cooling version.

Why there is demand

  • In Malaysia, tinted balms and lip oils are the fastest growing lip care formats, driven by social media and by young women who want colour and gloss without dryness.1
  • Lip oil sales worldwide are forecast to grow from USD 565.45 million in 2024 to USD 754.13 million by 2030, about 4.9% a year, helped by flavours, tints and influencer marketing.2
  • Korean lip cosmetic exports rose 37% to USD 409.96 million in January to August 2025, far faster than skincare at 11%, and lip sales in Japan rose 69% (Asia).3

2027 outlook

Lip oils and tinted balms are the fastest growing lip formats in Malaysia, and Korean lip products are pulling demand across Asia, with exports rising far faster than skincare. Shoppers now want shine plus comfort and care, not gloss alone. For 2027, a lip oil that feels plush rather than sticky, with a local vitamin E story and an easy shade range, sits in a format that is still growing.123

Jelly

Dessert Lip Jelly

Dessert flavours in a juicy lip jelly.

“My pocket money only covers one lip product a month, so it has to smell amazing and look juicy.”

Young shoppers choose lip products the way they choose a drink: by flavour, by colour and by how it looks in a photo. Dessert Lip Jelly turns that into a menu. One juicy, cushiony jelly base carries a long list of lip-safe flavours, from brownies, coffee and matcha to coconut, watermelon and dragon fruit, worn clear, sheer tinted or with a gold shimmer. New flavours drop easily, so the range never stands still, and sets of three make natural gifts. For a brand, it is the simplest way to keep a lip line feeling new every month, and a strong fit for live selling, where hosts swatch and describe each scent on camera.

Why brands pick it

1

A menu, not one product

Many flavours from one base means constant newness, limited editions and collecting, without new formulas.

2

Made for pocket money

A small wand bottle at an easy price suits students and first-job shoppers who buy often.

3

Born for live selling

Hosts can swatch, show the shine and describe the scent in seconds, which keeps viewers watching.

Why there is demand

  • Lip gloss is worth about USD 4.52 billion worldwide in 2025, heading for USD 7.17 billion by 2031; Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region at 8.48% a year, with influencers driving uptake in Southeast Asia.1
  • Flavoured lip balms are expected to hold the largest share of lip balm sales, with fruit flavours such as watermelon and blueberry named (global report).2
  • Searches for gourmand, dessert-like scents rose 82% on Google and 186% on TikTok in July 2025 year on year, and gourmand scents led TikTok Shop's best-selling fragrances (global, fragrance).3

2027 outlook

Glossy lip formats are growing fastest in Asia-Pacific, pushed by influencers and online shopping in Southeast Asia. At the same time, sweet, dessert-like scents are one of the strongest beauty trends of the moment, led by young shoppers on TikTok. A flavoured lip jelly brings the two together at a low price.

Jelly

Cool Plump Jelly

A cool tingle and fuller looking lips in one swipe.

“I want my lips to look fuller in my selfies for Raya, but I am not going near a needle for it.”

Fuller looking lips are one of the most watched looks on social video, and most shoppers want the effect without a clinic visit. Cool Plump Jelly gives them a version they can carry in a pocket: a juicy jelly that tingles cool on contact, gives a plumping feel, and leaves a glassy shine. The tingle matters because it tells the shopper the product is doing something, which is exactly what sells in a ten second live demo. A soft pink pearl version reads as colour, a clear version works over any lipstick. For a brand, it is a hero that is easy to film, easy to explain and easy to gift before Raya and wedding season.

Why brands pick it

1

You can feel it

The cool tingle gives instant proof on camera and at the counter, which turns a demo into a sale faster than any claim on a box.

2

Fuller look, no needles

Helps lips look fuller with a plumping feel, for shoppers who want the look of fuller lips without a clinic visit.

3

Works alone or on top

Wear it as a sheer pink jelly or layer the clear version over any lipstick for extra shine and shape.

07Cool Plump JellyA lip plumping complex and a plumping peptide for a plumping feel, a cooling agent for a cool tingle, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for softness, and a fine soft-focus pearl for a fuller looking shine.

Why there is demand

  • Global lip plumpers are valued at about USD 0.8 billion in 2025, forecast to reach USD 1.3 billion by 2034 (6.2% a year); Asia Pacific is the largest region at 38.2%, with Southeast Asia named as fast rising.1
  • Asia Pacific held more than 37.1% of global lip plumper serum revenue in 2022 and is expected to grow at the fastest regional rate, driven by at-home plumping (global report).2
  • On a leading B2B sourcing site, lip plumpers scored a buyer demand index of 87.12 in March 2026, among the highest of all lip care types, and were rated high growth potential (global buyers).3

2027 outlook

Plumping has moved from clinics to the lip aisle, and Asia Pacific is already the biggest region for it. Shoppers now expect skincare words such as hyaluronic acid and peptides on a lip product, and they want a gentle tingle rather than a burn. A cool jelly that gives a plumping feel, films well and sells at a pocket money price fits the live selling shopper well into 2027.123

Treatment

Peptide Lip Treatment

The lip treatment with skincare actives inside.

“My lips peel after a day in aircon and outside heat, and normal lip balm just sits on top.”

Shoppers already use serums with peptides and ceramides on their faces, and they now want the same thinking on their lips. Peptide Lip Treatment answers that with a cushiony treatment with a soft applicator that feels like a balm but reads like skincare. A plumping peptide helps lips look fuller and smoother, ceramide helps hold moisture in, and a vitamin C ester gives a rosier, more even look. It comes clear or in sheer tints with dessert flavours such as honey and cookies, so it can be worn alone. For a brand, it is a premium lip step with an ingredient story a shopper can repeat, priced above a basic balm and bought again when the bottle runs out.

Why brands pick it

1

Ingredients shoppers know

Peptide, ceramide and vitamin C are words shoppers already trust from face serums, so the price above a basic balm makes sense to them.

2

Care you can wear

Sheer tints and lip-safe flavours mean it works as a daily colour, not only a night treatment.

3

A habit, not a one off

Results build with regular use, which keeps the bottle in the bag and brings the shopper back for the next one.

08Peptide Lip TreatmentA plumping peptide that helps lips look fuller and smoother, ceramide and shea to hold moisture in, a vitamin C ester for a rosier, more even look, and coconut oil in a cushiony base.

2027 outlook

Lip care is turning into skincare, and peptides are leading the change. Korea is the fastest growing peptide lip market, so the trend reaches Malaysian shoppers quickly through Korean beauty content. Malaysian lip care is growing near nine percent a year, with tinted and treatment formats gaining share. A peptide treatment with a sheer tint and a local flavour gives a brand a premium lip step for 2027.231

Lip colour

The colour shoppers wear every single day

Lip colour is the most bought part of makeup in Malaysia, and the most personal. It is reapplied after every meal, judged on every cup and face mask, and changed with the mood, the season and the occasion. This chapter covers four ways in: a balm that turns clear to the wearer's own pink, a matte made to resist transfer, a soft mud for lips, cheeks and lids in one pot, and a water tint that stains and lasts through meals. Across Southeast Asia, shoppers are moving from classic lipstick toward tints and long wear formats that cope with heat and eating out, and most of them now buy online. For 2027, the opening is a local brand with shades for local skin and a texture for every day.

The market in numbers

Lip products are the largest category in Malaysian colour cosmetics at about 35%; the whole market is estimated at USD 355 million in 2025, and online sells about 55% of it.

Vyansa Intelligence (Malaysia Colour Cosmetics Market Report 2026 to 2032, report summary), 2026

Malaysia's lip cosmetics market is put at USD 132 million in 2025, growing 7.1% a year, in a Southeast Asian peer group averaging about 8% a year.

Ken Research (Vietnam Lips Cosmetic Market, report summary with Southeast Asia peer table), 2026

Across Asia, liquid lip tints and long-wear formulas are seeing explosive growth, particularly in Southeast Asia and among younger shoppers, driven by transfer-proof wear for humid climates (Asia).

Balm

Mood Colour Balm

Clear in the bottle, your own pink on the lips.

“I am still in school and my pocket money is small, so I want one lip balm that gives me colour without looking like makeup.”

There is a small moment of magic every time this balm goes on: clear or green in the bottle, then a shade of pink on the lips. That moment is the whole marketing plan. Mood Colour Balm is made for first lip product buyers, students and anyone who wants colour that looks like their own. Because each person's pink comes out a little different, shoppers film it, compare it and buy one for a friend. Underneath it is a real lip balm with ceramide, so parents and schools are happy with it too. For a brand, the colour change works across balms, oils and jellies, and new bottle colours and flavours are cheap to add.

Why brands pick it

1

The reveal sells itself

Clear to pink on the lips is the kind of short video people share, which brings free reach on social and live selling.

2

A first lip product

Colour that looks natural suits students, teens and makeup beginners who want a hint of colour without a bold look.

3

Easy to gift

Bright bottles and a surprise result make it a natural birthday, Raya and small surprise gift, often bought in twos.

09Mood Colour BalmA colour change pigment that turns to a shade of pink on the lips, ceramide to keep lips soft, a vitamin C ester in a smooth balm base, and menthol with peppermint oil in the mint version.

Why there is demand

  • pH based lip balms are worth about USD 555 million in 2025, forecast to grow 9.9% a year to USD 1.51 billion by 2035; Asia Pacific holds 42% of the market (global report).1
  • pH activated lip balms are valued at USD 0.4 billion in 2025, with Asia Pacific the largest region at 38.2%; the report links demand to Gen Z self expression and social video selling (global).2
  • pH based lipsticks were worth USD 622 million in 2024, forecast to reach USD 815.7 million by 2034, with social media and personal shade matching named as key drivers (global).3

2027 outlook

Colour change lip products are growing faster than lipstick as a whole, and Asia Pacific is the largest region for them. The growth comes from short video, where the clear to pink reveal works better than any advert, and from young shoppers who want colour that looks like their own. A low cost balm that carries the reveal, with mint and fruit versions, keeps a brand present in every school bag into 2027.123

Matte

Kiss-Proof Matte

Stays put through meals, no marks on cups.

“By the time I finish my teh tarik, half my lipstick is on the cup and the rest is on my face mask.”

Matte lip colour is popular for one simple reason: it stays. But many mattes still leave a ring on the cup, a stain on the face mask and a dry, tight feel by lunch. Kiss-Proof Matte is built for that real day. Light film formers set the colour so it is made to resist transfer, fine powder spheres give a soft-focus velvet finish, and a velvet wax keeps it comfortable. It comes as a liquid matte for full colour and an airy mousse for a softer, blurred look. For a brand, it covers the most asked lip need, a colour that survives eating, drinking and long work days, in shades from city nudes to bold reds.

Why brands pick it

1

No marks left behind

Made to resist transfer, so cups, face masks and tudung edges stay clean after a meal or a long day.

2

Velvet, not dry

Soft-focus powders and a velvet wax give a blurred matte that stays comfortable instead of cracking.

3

A shade for every skin

City nude, brick, rose and bold red shades suit Malaysian skin tones and are easy to extend each season.

10Kiss-Proof MatteLight film formers that help the colour set and resist transfer, fine powder spheres and a blurring powder for a soft-focus matte, a velvet wax and kaolin for the mousse feel, and shea for comfort.

Why there is demand

  • Lipstick is a USD 17.5 billion global market in 2024; Asia Pacific leads with 31.6%, and matte and liquid lipsticks are the fastest growing types, valued for not leaving marks on glasses.1
  • Liquid lip tints and long-wear formulas are seeing explosive growth in Southeast Asia, driven by demand for transfer-proof wear in humid climates; Asia's lip make-up is forecast at USD 5 billion by 2035.2
  • Liquid lipstick was worth USD 2,520 million worldwide in 2021 and is forecast to reach USD 4,613.3 million by 2030, growing 6.9% a year, with matte one of its main types (global).3

2027 outlook

Long wear is the main thing Asian shoppers ask of a lip colour, and Southeast Asia's heat, face masks and eating out make it more urgent here. Matte and liquid formats are the fastest growing lipstick types, and shoppers now expect them to feel comfortable too. A matte that is made to resist transfer and stays soft, in local skin tone shades, is a dependable best seller for 2027.213

Mud

Lip and Cheek Mud

One pot for lips, cheeks and lids.

“My makeup pouch is too full for my work bag, so I want one thing that does my lips and cheeks before I rush out.”

Most shoppers do not want ten products, they want one that looks good everywhere. Lip and Cheek Mud is a soft velvet mud in a small pot: dab it on lips for a blurred stain, tap it on cheeks for a natural flush, sweep a little over lids for a matching wash of colour. The look is easy and fresh, and it works for a five minute morning or a touch up in the car. Tocotrienol, a palm vitamin E grown in Malaysia, gives the care story a local root. Shades run from baby pink to brown red and mocha. For a brand, one pot sells three uses, which makes the price feel fair and the pouch feel lighter.

Why brands pick it

1

Three uses, one price

Lips, cheeks and lids from one pot make the value clear, which helps in price-careful markets and with students.

2

A matching look in a minute

One shade across the face looks put together with no skill needed, perfect for quick mornings and touch ups.

3

A local care story

Palm vitamin E grown in Malaysia gives the brand a home-grown ingredient to talk about.

2027 outlook

Multi-use makeup is one of the clearest shifts in Asian beauty: shoppers want fewer products that do more, and Asia Pacific is the fastest growing region for lip and cheek tints. In Malaysia, lip products are already the biggest colour category, and multifunctional formats are gaining. A soft mud that does lips, cheeks and lids at one fair price fits the busy, budget-aware shopper of 2027.123

Water tint

All-Day Water Tint

A stain that stays through nasi lemak.

“I eat out three times a day, and every time I have to fix my lip colour in the restaurant toilet.”

A water tint is the lip colour Asian shoppers grew up on: light as water, quick to apply, and it stains, so the colour is still there after lunch. All-Day Water Tint keeps that promise for the Malaysian table, where meals are oily, spicy and frequent. The light water base lets the colour sink in for a fresh, flushed look that fades evenly rather than leaving a ring. A glow version adds a juicy finish, and a peptide glow tint brings skincare care. Shades run from rose tea to mulberry and sunset pop. For a brand, it is an everyday bestseller with a low entry price, easy shade drops and a natural fit with Korean beauty trends.

Why brands pick it

1

Lasts through meals

The stain sinks into the lips so colour stays through eating and drinking, with wear time set by the brand's own tests.

2

Fades evenly

As it wears, the colour softens into a natural flush instead of leaving a dry outline.

3

Easy shade drops

A light base makes new shades quick to add, so the brand can launch a new colour every month.

12All-Day Water TintA light water base with lip-safe water soluble colours that stain the lips, a plumping peptide and ceramide for softness, shea in the glow version, and a natural emulsifier for a smooth feel.

Why there is demand

  • Water tint lips are a USD 2.1 billion global market in 2025, forecast to reach USD 3.6 billion by 2034; Asia Pacific holds 42.8%, and Southeast Asia is named a high growth submarket.1
  • In Vietnam, lip tint and stain already holds 29% of lip cosmetic sales in 2025 and is the fastest growing type, driven by Korean formats and humid climate wear (Southeast Asia).2
  • China's lip stain market was valued at USD 1.23 billion in 2024 and is forecast to reach USD 3.45 billion by 2030, growing 8.76% a year (Asia).3

2027 outlook

Lip tints are taking share from classic lipstick across Asia, and in Southeast Asia they are already the fastest growing lip type. Shoppers want colour that survives eating and humid days and still feels light, and Korean beauty content keeps the format fresh. A water tint with a glow option, a care story and frequent new shades gives a brand a steady everyday seller through 2027.123

Face and cheek

Lighter base, a natural flush

Face base is where the shopper decides whether the rest of the makeup works. The old idea of one full cover foundation for every day is fading. Shoppers now want skin that looks like skin: a serum tint on ordinary days, a cushion they can top up between events, and a primer that keeps both in place when the afternoon gets warm. Each one carries skincare actives, so the brand can talk about care as well as cover. Asia Pacific is already the biggest region for cushions, tinted bases and primers, and Asian brands with hybrid products are leading growth in Malaysia. Blush finishes the face: a few drops of tinted oil give a flush that looks like the shopper's own. For 2027, the opening is a small, well matched range with a sensible shade spread, built so each product makes the next one look better.

The market in numbers

In Malaysia, colour cosmetics growth is being driven by Asian brands making makeup more affordable and by hybrid products that add skincare benefits.

Serum Skin Tint

Skincare first, a touch of cover.

“Foundation feels like a mask by the time I reach the office, but without anything my skin looks tired on every video call.”

A growing number of shoppers have stopped wearing full foundation on ordinary days. They still want skin that looks rested on a video call or a quick lunch, just not a heavy layer that shows by noon. Serum Skin Tint is built for that middle ground. It goes on like a serum, sinks in fast and leaves a sheer, even veil that lets real skin show through. Inside sit the actives shoppers already know from their skincare shelf, so the brand can sell it as a skincare step with a touch of colour. Five shades from fair to deep give a starting range a brand can grow.

Why brands pick it

1

Sells on skincare words

An NAD+ booster, ectoin and hyaluronic acid give the brand skincare stories that a plain foundation cannot tell.

2

Easy shade match

Sheer cover is forgiving, so five shades suit more faces and online buyers return fewer bottles.

3

An everyday habit

Light enough for workdays and weekends, so it is used daily and runs out on a steady cycle.

13Serum Skin TintAn NAD+ booster for tired looking skin, ectoin for comfort, hyaluronic acid for moisture, a plant complex for a brighter, even-looking tone, and coated mineral pigments for a sheer, natural tint.
Make it as: Serum skin tint in five shades, Dropper tint, Squeeze tube tint

Why there is demand

  • Searches for skin tints rose 26% year on year as of March 2025, averaging nearly one million a month (global), as shoppers move to no makeup makeup.1
  • Asia Pacific held 42.3% of global tinted moisturizer revenue in 2025, and products with SPF made up 56.8% of the category.2
  • The global tinted cosmetics market, which includes skin tints, is expected to reach USD 2.29 billion by 2032 (Future Market Insights, as quoted).1

2027 outlook

Light cover is becoming the everyday base, with search interest in skin tints still rising and Asia Pacific already the largest region for tinted moisturisers. Shoppers want skincare actives they recognise in their makeup, and an SPF version is where much of the category's money sits. For 2027, a serum tint with a clear skincare story and a sensible shade range gives a local brand an easy first step into face base.12

Cushion

Humid-Proof Cushion

Pat on, stays through the heat.

“At an afternoon kenduri my foundation is sliding off before the family photos are even taken.”

Raya open houses, weddings and kenduri mean long days in warm halls and hot car parks, and most foundations do not last until the photos. Humid-Proof Cushion is made for those days. A puff presses on light, even cover that dries to a satin finish and is built to hold in humid weather. The compact has its own mirror, so a top up in the car takes ten seconds. Niacinamide and ectoin keep skin comfortable under the cover, and mineral filters let a brand build a sun care version for SPF50 PA++++, set by its own tests. A cushion is also a refill product, which keeps buyers coming back.

Why brands pick it

1

Event season ready

Raya, wedding and kenduri season gives the brand a reason to launch and a story every Malaysian shopper knows.

2

Top up in seconds

A compact with a mirror and puff means fixing makeup anywhere, which is the moment cushion wins over a bottle.

3

Refills keep them

Selling refill pans for the same case makes the second purchase cheaper for the buyer and easier for the brand.

14Humid-Proof CushionNiacinamide for a more even-looking tone, ectoin for comfort, vitamin E, a plant brightening complex, finely dispersed mineral filters with a UVB filter for the sun care version, and a cooling aloe and white tea scent.

Why there is demand

  • Cushion foundation was worth USD 1.75 billion worldwide in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 3.45 billion by 2034, about 8.0% a year; Southeast Asia is named a growth frontier.1
  • Cushions with built in sun protection are a named growth segment, and sensitive and acne prone skin is the fastest growing skin type segment for cushion foundation (global).2
  • In Malaysia, colour cosmetics growth is being driven by Asian brands making makeup more affordable and by hybrid products that add skincare benefits.3

2027 outlook

Cushion is still growing across Asia, with Southeast Asia named among its fastest moving markets, and buyers want cover, care and sun protection in one compact. In Malaysia, Asian brands and hybrid products are driving colour cosmetics. For 2027, a local cushion built for humid event days, with skincare actives, a sun care version and refills, gives a brand a hero product with a repeat purchase built in.123

How to sell the full range

Launch ahead of Raya or wedding season and show the cushion surviving a full event day: morning application, afternoon top up in the car, evening photo. Sell the refill from day one so buyers see the saving. Two to four shades are enough to start in a sheer satin finish. It suits modest fashion brands, bridal and event makeup lines, drugstore shelves and live selling hosts who can demo the puff on camera.

Gel

Grip and Blur Primer

Blurs pores, holds makeup through a long day.

“By three o'clock my nose and forehead are shiny and my foundation has slid into my pores.”

Oily skin and a long working day are a hard pair. Foundation goes on well at eight, then by mid afternoon the nose shines, the forehead slips and pores show through. Grip and Blur Primer works before the makeup does. A clear gel serum sets into a light, tacky film that gives foundation something to hold, while soft focus powders blur the look of pores. Panthenol, niacinamide and an NAD+ booster mean the step cares for skin rather than just sitting on it. It is a small bottle that makes every other base product in a brand's range look better, which is why buyers keep it once they find it.

Why brands pick it

1

Fixes the 3pm slide

Shoppers with oily skin know the moment makeup slips; a primer that holds it is an easy promise to show.

2

Lifts the whole range

It makes the brand's cushion, tint and foundation wear better, so it sells alongside every base product.

3

Skincare in the prep

Panthenol, niacinamide and an NAD+ booster give the brand care words on a step most primers leave bare.

15Grip and Blur PrimerPanthenol and niacinamide to keep skin calm and balanced, an NAD+ booster for tired looking skin, a light grip film that holds makeup, soft focus powders that blur the look of pores, in a clear gel.
Make it as: Grip primer serum, Pore blur primer, Sun primer

What each part brings

The grip
Makeup stays put
a light, flexible film gives foundation something to hold on to
The blur
Pores look smoother
soft focus powders scatter light so pores and lines look softer
The care
Calm, balanced skin
panthenol, niacinamide and an NAD+ booster care for skin under makeup

Why there is demand

  • Asia Pacific makeup base, primers included, was worth USD 4.83 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 6.10 billion by 2030, led by demand for long lasting, multifunctional products.1
  • Asia Pacific held 38.2% of global blurring primer revenue in 2025, about USD 688 million; the report notes water based primers suit humid Asian climates and fast uptake in Southeast Asia.2
  • Search interest in 'grip primer' has grown about 4,500% to around 22,200 searches a month since the term was tracked from January 2025 (global search data).3

2027 outlook

Asia Pacific is the biggest region for makeup base and for blurring primers, and the grip primer is one of the fastest rising searches in base makeup. Shoppers want makeup that lasts through long, warm days and a prep step that also cares for skin. For 2027, a grip and blur primer with skincare actives is a low risk add on that lifts every base product a brand already sells.123

Blush oil

Glow Blush Oil

A cheek flush that looks like your own.

“Powder blush looks patchy on my dewy skin and makes me look too made up for a casual lunch with friends.”

Blush is back at the centre of makeup, but the look has changed. Shoppers want cheeks that look naturally warm, not a stripe of powder. Glow Blush Oil gives exactly that: one or two drops, tapped in with fingertips, melt into skin and leave a sheer flush with a soft sheen. It layers over a skin tint or cushion without lifting it, and builds up for a night out. A colour change version goes on clear and turns to a soft flush on the cheeks, a fun hook for younger buyers and gifting. The bottle looks good on camera, which makes it easy to sell in short videos and live selling.

Why brands pick it

1

Made for camera

A drop of oil blooming into a flush is a two second demo that stops the scroll in short videos and live selling.

2

Layers over the base

It blends over a skin tint or cushion without lifting it, so it sells as the next step after face base.

3

Many shades, one base

Shades and a colour change version come from the same oil base, so the brand can drop new colours often.

16Glow Blush OilA blend of light oils with plant squalane and a silky emollient for slip, a fine shimmer for soft sheen, and, in the colour change version, a colour that shifts to a soft flush on the cheeks.
Make it as: Dropper blush oil, Roller blush oil, Colour change blush oil

What each part brings

Melts into skin
light oils and plant squalane blend in with fingertips, no brush
The flush

sheer, buildable colour that reads as healthy cheeks, not makeup
The glow

a fine shimmer catches light on the cheekbones without glitter

Why there is demand

  • Asia Pacific cheek makeup was worth about USD 2.80 billion in 2025, with blush the largest segment at 48.5%; Southeast Asia is the fastest growing part, at about 11.4% a year to 2034.1
  • Cream and liquid blush formats together made up about USD 1.13 billion, around four in ten dollars, of Asia Pacific cheek makeup in 2025.1
  • Blush sales rose 50% from January to July 2024 against a year earlier, blush launches were up 20%, and sales from new blush launches more than doubled (Circana, global market news).2

2027 outlook

Blush is one of the strongest stories in makeup: it led sales growth in 2024 and is the largest cheek category in Asia Pacific, where Southeast Asia is growing fastest. Liquid and cream textures already take a large share as shoppers move to a fresh, skin like flush. For 2027, a blush oil with a colour change version gives a brand a camera friendly hero that drops new shades easily.12

How we build lip and colour

Start from the feel on the lips. We build the shade around it.

Tell us the texture, finish, shade family, flavour and pack you want; our lab matches the base, the pigments and the actives to it, and makes your first sample from a formula we already know. Wear time and every claim come from your product's own tests.

Care

Lip care that works overnight

Balms, serum balms, sleeping masks and scrubs built on butters, plant oils and skincare actives: hyaluronic acid, ceramide, squalane, peptides and palm tocotrienol from Malaysia.

Glow

Shine that feels like nothing

Lip oils, jellies and glosses with a cushiony, non-sticky slip, in clear or sheer shades, with a cool tingle or a dessert flavour when the brand wants one.

Colour

Pigment from sheer to bold

Colour change balms, water tints, lip muds and soft mattes made to resist transfer; then face base and cheek on the same colour know-how.
