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 rouge to present herself on certain occasions. She had at least two rouges when she passed away that were later kept by Inuyasha, even though he has no use of it. Inuyasha gave a Beni to his first love, Kikyo as a gift. It was later destroyed by Naraku when he struck her down.

According to Myōga, another Beni was gifted to Izayoi by Tōga. Inuyasha would later give this Beni to Kagome, 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 flat shaped seashell. Moroha's Red Rainbow Pearl can be seen stored inside her Beni.
