You may know lifestyle brand MUJI for their irresistibly yummy snacks, comfortable apparel or minimalist stationery, but they’ve also got an underrated section – their beauty products.
Offering a line-up of makeup, skincare, beauty tools, and more at very affordable (cheaper than drugstore!) prices, MUJI has always promised top product quality and we believe that it shows through their beauty range too.
Below, we’ve rounded up eight of the best beauty products from MUJI that have received major raves online and that you should home, stat.
1. Nail Colour – Clear Red
We typically look for a nail polish that gives the most colour payoff and opacity in one swipe, but once you look at the gorgeous manis created with this clear red nail polish, you might change your mind.
This blood coloured nail polish is highly versatile and lets you create a rosy pink gradient on any white or light base coat. Layer it on to make the colour more intense, or simply swipe on one coat and blend it out with a sponge for a diffused ombre look.
This product is currently out of stock online, but keep a lookout for it in stores.
2. Eyebrow Pencil
Soft, filled brows are totally in right now, and that’s exactly what you can achieve with MUJI’s eyebrow pencils. Available in both a dark brown and neutral brown shade, the pigment fills in and defines your brows with a smooth, non-clumping formula.
With the plant extracts and moisturising ingredients such as jojoba seed oil and hyaluronic acid, this is an eyebrow pencil that you won’t have to worry about drying and flaking off over the course of the day too.
It’s highly pigmented, long-lasting, and comfortable – what more could we ask for in a brow pencil that’s less than six bucks?
Available at MUJI online and in-store for S$5.90.
3. Eyeshadow
There’s something for everyone in this range of eyeshadow quads – whether your everyday makeup look leans more towards pink, purple, brown, or gold tones, there’s a palette in every shade and one you’ll definitely want.
Its compact size also makes it really handy for touch ups on-the-go, and would fit into any bag or purse. With its smooth, velvety texture, this eyeshadow glides onto your lids effortlessly and the shimmer instantly brightens your eyes – your saving grace on your I-didn’t-have-enough-sleep days.

4. Eyelash Curler
This isn’t your ordinary eyelash curler – it’s a smart little cartridge that will fit snugly into any makeup bag or purse.
This innovative curler works with a spring mechanism and lets you bring it out and curl your lashes on the go without taking up too much space either.

5. Pressed Powder
Use it to set your liquid foundation, as a makeup base, or add it to your liquid foundation to build up the coverage. Either way, this super fine and smooth powder feels oh-so-comfortable on the skin.

6. Cream Lip & Cheek
