Kickstart 2026 with These Must-Have January Beauty Launches
As we step into a new year, it’s natural to want to refresh and reset various aspects of our lives, including our beauty routines. January is the perfect time to explore what’s new and noteworthy in the world of beauty. Last year, we saw a shift towards skin-first routines, softer makeup, and hybrid formulas that have become staples in our daily regimens. This year, beauty trends are more thoughtful than ever, focusing on smarter formulations and products that enhance our existing routines.
The Buzz Around January 2026 Launches
The beauty launches of January 2026 are already creating a significant buzz. As a beauty enthusiast, I’ve had the pleasure of exploring many exciting new releases. From innovative ingredients to luxurious textures, and even twists on beloved classics, there’s something for everyone. The influence of K-beauty continues to be strong, emphasizing luminous, glass-like finishes and deeply nourishing lip formulas. Skincare designed to hydrate and revive dry, winter skin is also a major focus.
Embracing Colorful and Maximalist Makeup
In 2026, makeup lovers are embracing a more colorful and maximalist approach. This trend was spearheaded by pop star Zara Larsson and her makeup artist, Sophia Sinot, who championed bold designs, colors, and finishes. Expect to see more eyeshadow palette releases, frosted lipsticks, and chic embellishments this year.
Top January Beauty Launches of 2026
Burberry Her Parfum
Burberry’s new fragrance, Her Parfum, is a delightful addition to their lineup. Fronted by beloved British singer Olivia Dean, this scent is the most intense version yet, retaining its signature sweetness. A true gourmand, it features delicate cherry notes, warm amber, and enveloping vanilla. The bottle is a stunning opaque, deep-pink glass with a matte finish, adorned with pink ribbons. It’s the perfect addition to any fragrance wardrobe.
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Pressed Powder
The iconic Easy Bake Powder from Huda Beauty is back with a new look. This time, it’s crafted into a sleek, on-the-go compact. Fans of the loose powder will be pleased to know that this pressed version offers the same soft-matte, airbrushed effect finish as the original, with zero creasing, caking, or heaviness. It sets like a loose powder but performs with the precision and portability of a pressed one, making it perfect for quick touch-ups on the go.
Tatcha The Longevity Memory Cream
Tatcha has introduced a new addition to its Longevity line: the Longevity Memory Cream. This cushiony gel-cream is designed to energize your skin’s youthful memory, delivering brighter, visibly renewed skin with every use. Powered by Tatcha’s nutrient-rich Okinawa Cellescence Complex, the formula works to boost ceramides, strengthen the skin barrier, and lock in lasting hydration. It’s a true sensorial treat for your skin.
These are just a few of the exciting beauty launches to look out for in January 2026. As you ease into the new year, consider adding these products to your routine for a refreshed and glowing start.
