Beni

"With this rouge, I become Beniyasha, Destroyer of Lands. Tremble before the bloodthirsty dawn! Bear witness to your end, if you dare!"

- Moroha applying the Beni

The is a cosmetic product used to apply color to the lips. The quarter-demon Moroha is the only known individual to use the Beni to temporarily transform herself into Beniyasha.

History
In the anime Izayoi is shown to have been born in a wealthy/noble family and possibly used the Beni to present herself on certain occasions when she was alive, even before and after the birth of her only son.

After dying, Izayoi left Inuyasha with two things from her as a memento: the Beni itself, even though he has no use of it, along with his Robe of the Fire-Rat.

Some time later, Inuyasha gave the Beni to his first love, Kikyo as a gift. It was later destroyed by Naraku when he struck her down.

According to Myōga, Izayoi had at least two rouges: one that Izayoi possibly inherited from her mother or any other women born in her family, probably along with the other makeup kit; and another one which was gifted to Izayoi by Tōga.

Inuyasha, who also inherited his father's Beni from his mother, would later have Kagome hold it, until she was forced to tearfully pass it as a parting gift to their infant daughter, Moroha, due to an unknown incident.

Physical description
The Beni appears as a red thick cosmetic cream stored inside a scallop shell that has a tiny red bow tie decoration at its beak. Moroha's Red Rainbow Pearl can be seen inside her Beni.
