2026 Fall/Winter Beauty Picks: New Arrivals
The North American beauty scene has quietly transitioned into fall. The 2026 Fall/Winter makeup collections bid farewell to highly saturated pastel shades, embracing instead low-saturation roses, cool-toned nudes, deep red-browns, and finely detailed iridescent finishes as the season's key trends.
■ 💄 2026 Fall/Winter Top Pick 1: Dior
This fall/winter, the Dior collection adds an elegant, feminine touch. This season, Dior's Global Creative Director of Makeup, Peter Philips, drew inspiration from Monsieur Dior's habit of carrying a lucky clover, using "lucky clover green" and sweet pink rose tones as the core palette for a new limited-edition makeup collection.
■ 💄 2026 Fall/Winter Top Pick 2: Hermès
Hermès, with its love for travel, takes us into a northern snowy landscape this fall/winter, letting us experience the romance of winter ahead of time. Makeup Creative Director Gregoris Pyrpylis translates the striking color contrast of vibrant houses set against the white snow into three uniquely styled limited-edition lip shades.
■ 💄 2026 Fall/Winter Top Pick 3: Louis Vuitton
Lip liners are making a strong return to the center of makeup routines, and Louis Vuitton is following the trend. Continuing the La Beauté collection's concept of blending travel spirit, fine craftsmanship, and beauty, the new LV Crayon further completes the lip makeup line. The entire collection was conceived by Dame Pat McGrath herself, designed to pay homage to the precise lip techniques seen on fashion show runways. The smooth, creamy texture is enriched with peptides, gliding effortlessly onto the lips while creating a fuller-looking lip contour.
■ 💄 2026 Fall/Winter Top Pick 4: Prada
Prada Beauty takes its signature "aesthetic of contradictions" to new heights this fall/winter. Echoing the vibrant berry-floral scent of the new "PRADA Paradoxe Eau de Parfum – Sweet Berry Garden," the makeup collection incorporates the highly saturated purples seen throughout the 2026 runway shows, adding a rebellious yet sharp playfulness to Prada's futuristic color language.
■ 💄 2026 Fall/Winter Top Pick 5: Tom Ford
This year, Tom Ford once again centers on the rose, drawing from the intertwining notes of rose, spice, and woods in the Rose Prick private blend fragrance to create a new limited-edition makeup collection. The "Forbidden Rose High-Definition Duo Eyeshadow Palette" features a wet/dry formula, with fine shimmer that refracts light to create dimensional luminosity. The lipsticks remain the most versatile collectible pieces in the collection, with three shades designed to suit both everyday and formal occasions.
■ 💄 2026 Fall/Winter Top Pick 6: YSL
This fall/winter, YSL draws inspiration from metallic satin fabrics used in haute couture, dressing its popular makeup in limited-edition pink-silver packaging. The delicate silver thread texture catches the light, infusing soft pink tones into the cool metallic sheen, striking a balance between romantic allure and YSL's signature bold style. The limited collection includes the "Pink Cushion Foundation," two shades of the Couture Color Clash Lipstick, and the new Couture Mini Clutch Eyeshadow Palette #826 "Light Play."
■ 💄 2026 Fall/Winter Top Pick 7: SUQQU
The new "Nude Glow Lip Gloss" is also a standout launch this season. The shades incorporate a subtle luminosity, and the lightweight, silky texture envelops the lips evenly — preserving the sophistication of a mature lip color while using shine to soften any heaviness. SUQQU makes it easy for any age to achieve a refined yet lively textured lip look.
■ 💄 2026 Fall/Winter Top Pick 8: RMK
If you're looking to add a distinct personality to your fall/winter makeup, RMK is a brand worth watching this year. The collection's centerpiece, the "Color Palette Eye Shadow," launches 6 new shades, bringing silky satin, dazzling shimmer, and soft matte textures together in one palette. The shades may seem contrasting at first glance, but they blend seamlessly on the eyes; used solo, they keep the look clean and sharp, while mixing, layering, and stacking different textures gradually adds depth and intensity to the eyes.
