14 celebrity beauty brands that ship to Malaysia; and what to get from them

From local celebs such as Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza and Vivy Yusof to international superstars Rihanna and Selena Gomez, it seems like celebrity beauty brands are dominating the beauty space.

While it may be so, these brands may not always have a physical presence in Malaysia – bummer!

This is why we’ve decided to compile a comprehensive list of the celebrity beauty brands that ship to Malaysia, so you can get your hands on them easily.

Celebrity makeup brands

dUCk Cosmetics

Blogger and entrepreneur Vivy Yusof launched dUCk Cosmetics in 2017, which is characterised by its signature purple packaging.

The brand’s offerings have grown over the years to cover almost everything beauty, winning over the hearts of Malaysian beauty junkies. The local celebrity brand has also gone on to collaborate with international companies like Barbie and Disney.

What to get: Balm Bae Lip Balm (RM60). This combines aloe vera, olive oil, and shea butter for intense hydration. Our favourite shade is the The Balm Bae The Right One, which gives you this amazing “chestnut milk tea” colour to your lips.

Fenty Beauty & Fenty Skin

It is hard to think of celebrity beauty brands without naming one of the most prominent ones of our time: Fenty Beauty.

After launching in September 2017, Rihanna’s makeup brand gave new goals for every brand to strive for, such as significantly broader foundation ranges. Then Rihanna expanded her beauty empire to include Fenty Skin, which offers a line of skincare products.

What to get: Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer (RM153). It has a light-as-air and totally non-greasy cream formula that gives you the most delicious looking sun-kissed skin.

Lady Gaga is one of our favourite celebrities, so when we heard she was releasing a makeup line, we immediately went ‘gaga’ over it.

The brand’s products are designed by the celebrity powerhouse herself, with ultra-bold colours that let you express all your innermost desires.

What to get: Optic Intensity Eco Eyeliner (RM108). This long-wear, waterproof pencil eyeliner comes in 18 different shades from black to white to help accentuate your eyes.

Rare Beauty

We were super excited for the launch of Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty back in 2020 and couldn’t wait to get our hands on the brand.
