Beauty trends heading into 2026 are leaning toward lighter textures, longer wear and simplified routines.
Eye patches are now a regular skincare step and a pre-makeup fix for hydration and puffiness. Dubai-based Sherin Amara this week launched Skin by Sherin, including under-eye patches.
Long-wear lip stains are replacing traditional lipsticks with a soft, blurred finish that lasts. Huda Beauty released its version late last year, and more brands are following.
Glow is coming from skincare, not shimmer. Oils, essences and moisturizers are used first so makeup sits better. Lebanese brand Antati has radiance-boosting formulas.
Full-coverage bases are fading out. Lightweight skin tints and natural finishes, including those by Saudi brand Asteri Beauty, are becoming everyday staples.
