2026 Makeup is All About Color
2025 is coming to an end, and we’re ever-so-excitedly looking forward to the new year. A fresh start calls for self-reflection and introspection to see where we’re at in our lives, as well as to build new resolutions to work towards for the year ahead. Setting resolutions not only makes your vision and purpose crystal clear, but following up with them throughout the year is also a good way to track your progress. Below are your STYLEVANA editor’s beauty resolutions for 2026, working towards stronger, glowier skin, better MOTDs, and everything in between. Keep reading on for all the details.

In the mood for a little mysterious makeup magic? The new Unleashia Glitterpedia Eye Palette in No.8 All of Dancing Swan kicks off 2026 with a color story of frosty blues and grungy browns, paired with contrasting pops of pink, in shimmer and glitter finishes. Though soft and fluffy, these shadows minimize fallout when packed or blended onto the lid. The palette seamlessly takes you from day to night, wowing your audience with multi-dimensional eye looks.

Colorful makeup doesn’t just refer to rainbow makeup looks, but also how you can use color strategically to elevate the final result. Take the CEZANNE Bright Color Sealer in 10 Clear Blue into consideration: this pastel blue concealer is used to brighten up areas of dullness and sallowness, bringing life and light back to the complexion. A few dots blended onto yellowing patches will color correct the skin to even out skin tone, resulting in a more seamless base.

Sure, you could stick with your fave gold and silver highlighters… or you could try out a funky shade from the colorgram Milk Bling Heartlighter to add a little extra oomph to your look. Touting unique shades like buttercup yellow and rose quartz pink, this absolutely adorable highlighter features a finely-milled powder that doesn’t emphasize skin texture in the slightest. Not only is it ultra pocket and travel-friendly, you even get a mirror attached to the underside of its cap for application on-the-go.
Freshian - Egg-Like Cream Blush

No matter if you’re a fan of muted bakery-inspired tones or bright pops of color, the Freshian Egg-Like Cream Blush has something for everyone. This formula applies like a cream for ultimate blendability and creating a custom blush combo, but dries down to a powder finish to lock in place all day. Your skin will appear smooth and luminous, and feel nourished thanks to the addition of a Vitamin E derivative and vegan vegetable butter into its makeup.

Who knew rose could be such a versatile hue? The Fwee Rose Obsession Stay-fit Lip Tintcollection makes it an accessible and wearable tone for all skin tones, breathing new life into our perception of what a rose shade should look like. Within this range you’ll find both matte and glossy tint finishes to suit your liking, with rosy lippies that stay true to color as you wear them throughout the day. Don’t wait to find your signature rose that is sure to become your most reached-for lip product.

When was the last time you tried a mascara color other than black? It turns out there’s more to fluttery lashes than your basic noir, and the Etude Curl Fix Mascara New Mini offers shades like Mauve Brown and Plum Black to jazz up even the most simple of eye looks. ETUDE’s fan-fave formula is made to lift and hold curls in place, making them resistant against water, sweat and sebum–essentially making them able to brave any situation without a lash falling out of place.
espoir - The Brow Color Fixing Cara

If you were waiting for a sign, this is it: your call to experiment with different brow colors or finally attempt the bleached brow look. The espoir The Brow Color Fixing Cara serves as a groomer, definer and colorist all in one smudge-proof, budge-proof Ultra Shield Taping formula. It features a skinny brush to catch every brow hair and comb out clumps, evenly coating the hairs for a uniform appearance. Trying out a new brow look doesn’t have to be permanent and this is the perfect way to get a taste.
