Planning your next makeup-shopping haul? Look no further than the local beauty scene that's growing (and glowing) with innovative brands created by Malaysian girlbosses. Mostly vegan, cruelty-free and wudhu-compliant, beauty junkies will have all manner of needs sorted without compromising on the whole 'look pretty, feel good factor' that makeup is all about.

DIDA

Founded by 2 friends Tengku Chanela Jamidah and Didie Nasir, this girlboss-favoured brand is all about beauty with confidence, their lip products being a firm favourite. In fact, they've covered all grounds for the sweetest puckers, think a velvety matte lip crème range, soft lipsticks, and moisturising lip glides, too. Packaged in a minimalist design so loved by millennial creatives, Dida is rapidly cinching points as an It-girl handbag essential.

DUCK COSMETICS

The cosmetics arm of dUCk is a natural extension for Muslimah and scarf collectors of the wildly popular brand founded by Datin Vivy Yusof. dUCk Cosmetics ticks all your beauty needs (without the parabens!), from the quirky Mist Independent Hair Mist, to the vibrance of a Matte Decisions Lip Cream range. As for the occasional limited edition collections that have fans on tenterhooks – we particularly love the delectable Cookie collection and most recent Doily dUCk collection face kit in time for Raya!
