Lip Makeup Trends Southeast Asia 2026 | Shopee Singapore Sales Surge 55%
Singapore's lip makeup sales grew 55% while product count rose just 12%. Across Shopee's three largest SEA markets, consumers are buying more from fewer products. The keyword data from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore reveals each market wants something different from its lip color.
Between December 2025 and May 2026, Trendier AI tracked the Top 100 lip makeup keywords in each market. Indonesia prioritizes moisturizing comfort. Malaysia wants texture and waterproof hold. Singapore demands tint quality and inclusivity. One thread connects them: consumers everywhere are rejecting dryness.
Indonesia: Moisturizing First, BPOM Certified
Red (57) leads Indonesia's shade rankings, followed by Pink (47) and Peach (46). The efficacy story is clearer: Moisturizing (41) and Dry (38) sit at the top, confirming Indonesian consumers judge lip products on comfort first.

Two NEW keywords entered the Top 100. #Toffee extends the warm-neutral palette beyond standard pinks and reds. #Powerstay signals demand for transfer-proof matte wear. #Fit surged 50 positions, driven by lightweight matte formulas that promise comfortable all-day hold. BPOM (21) confirms halal certification remains a competitive lever in Indonesia.
Malaysia: Texture Wins, Darker Shades Surge
Malaysia leads with Smooth (24) and Waterproof (22) in efficacy. Texture is what Malaysian consumers evaluate first. Pink (23) tops shades, but the growth sits in bolder tones.
#Dark Lips surged 67 positions, the largest single keyword riser across all three markets. #Scarlet entered as NEW alongside #Sparkle, driven by glossy tinted formulas with brightening and plumping claims. Transfer Resistant (10) in marketing confirms durability is a core expectation.
Singapore: Inclusivity Arrives, Sales Outpace Products
Singapore's category overview reveals the sharpest signal: sales volume grew 54.83% while product count rose 12.41%. Brand count grew 51.11%. Lip Balm added 107 products to lead subcategories while Lip Plumper lost 11. Average price fell from SGD 88.5 to SGD 74.5.

Three NEW keywords entered Singapore's Top 100. #Peach Pink is a hybrid shade gaining traction alongside standard pinks. #Non-drying directly names the comfort demand. #All Skin Tones is the standout: inclusivity claims are now competitive in SEA lip makeup, driven by cushion formats offering shade-adaptive coverage.
In brand rankings, one brand surged 34 positions to #2 from just 9 products. Another climbed 10 spots to #3. A Korean brand entered at #6 as NEW with over 7,000 period sales.
The Comfort Thread Across SEA
Indonesia's top efficacy keyword is Moisturizing. Malaysia's is Smooth. Singapore added #Non-drying as NEW. The rising products confirm the pattern: Indonesia's top riser is a lip serum with SPF and hyaluronate. Malaysia's is a plumping lip stick with cooling technology. Singapore's is a glossy rouge with hydrating and transfer-resistant claims.
Lip products in SEA are becoming skincare-adjacent. The brands winning combine color with comfort, treatment ingredients, and in Singapore, shade inclusivity.
Why It Matters
For brands entering Indonesia, moisturizing comfort and BPOM certification are baseline; #Fit and #Powerstay confirm that matte must feel lightweight. For brands entering Malaysia, texture and waterproof hold beat shade variety; #Dark Lips surging 67 positions opens a gap most competitors haven't filled. For brands entering Singapore, sales outpacing products 4-to-1 means demand is concentrated; #All Skin Tones signals shade-inclusive positioning works.
