New Makeup Releases: Release Dates, Shades & Prices

ColourPop released its Fallen Collection for autumn 2026 on 29 September 2026, with prices from $9 to $107 (US). The collection includes a 15-pan eyeshadow palette, five Cloud Whip Lip & Cheek Puddings and four Cloud Whip Blurring Lip Liners. According to ColourPop, it pairs warm autumn tones and earthy neutrals with moody pops, "to mix, match, and layer." It's available now on colourpop.com. Below are the products, shades and prices.

The Fallen Eyeshadow Palette ($23)

The collection's main product is a 15-pan pressed powder palette. According to ColourPop, it goes from cosy autumn warmth to moody grunge, with creamy mattes, metallic shimmers and multidimensional chrome finishes. The shades are:

• Warm neutrals: Autumn Air (shimmering champagne), So Bare (soft warm nude), Foggy (pinky nude), Rooting For You (warm taupe), Woodsy (saddle brown), Lights Out (deep warm brown)
• Metals: Free Fallin' (golden bronze), Glowing Ember (bright copper), Lost Leaves (gold, olive and copper multichrome)
• Moody pops: Foliage (metallic olive), Mossy (matte olive), November Rain (metallic rich blue), Not a Phase (matte indigo), After Dusk (sparkling amethyst), Soft Spoil (warm violet)

Tip: For a daytime look, sweep So Bare through the crease, then press Glowing Ember onto the lid with a fingertip. For evening, smoke out Not a Phase along the lash line and top with a touch of After Dusk.

Cloud Whip Lip & Cheek Puddings ($10 each)

ColourPop says these whipped Lip & Cheek Puddings give soft, buildable colour with a weightless texture made to blend. Each comes with a Silicon Jelly Wand. According to the brand, the wand picks up just the right amount of product and melts it onto skin in one smooth swipe. There are five shades:

• Better Weather (warm pink)
• Cozy Cardigan (warm berry)
• Cider Sip (pinky terracotta)
• Chilly Air (reddish terracotta)
• Spiced (rich cool-toned berry)

ColourPop suggests tapping on a little for a sheer flush or layering for more colour. The brand also suggests using the same shade on lips and cheeks for a monochromatic fall look.

Cloud Whip Blurring Lip Liners ($9 each)

According to ColourPop, the Cloud Whip Lip Liners glide on with a soft, pillowy feel and blur into lips for diffused definition. There are four shades: Velvet Season (rosy pink), Layered Up (warm terracotta), True Autumn (soft plum) and Valley Oak (warm saddle brown).

Sets and Bundles

ColourPop offers several sets from the collection:

• Fallen Collection (palette, liners and puddings): $107
• Fallen Hard (all four liners): $32
• Amber Hour trio (Better Weather, Cozy Cardigan, Cider Sip): $26
• Spice Season trio (Cider Sip, Chilly Air, Spiced): $26
• Liner and pudding duos, $16 each:
  • Cool Front (True Autumn + Cozy Cardigan)
  • After Dusk (Velvet Season + Spiced)
  • First Frost (Velvet Season + Chilly Air)
  • Leaf Fall (Valley Oak + Cider Sip)
  • Petal Drop (Layered Up + Better Weather)

How to wear a duo: ColourPop recommends gliding the liner along the natural lip line, then softly blending for a diffused finish, and filling in lips for more colour. Tap the pudding over the top and blend the edges with a finger. Finish by dabbing the same pudding onto the apples of the cheeks.

BOTARI, a new hand care brand, has launched in the UK with its Hand Cream Discovery Set, priced at £28.00. Full-size creams follow on 25 October 2026. The set contains three 20ml minis, and each formula targets a different skin need. According to BOTARI, the creams are inspired by Korean skincare and combine botanical ingredients with biotech actives and distinctive fragrances.

Meet the Founder

BOTARI was founded by Korean-born British designer Molly Park. She was previously Chief Creative & Product Officer at Papier and Head of Design, Home & Gift at Oliver Bonas. The brand's collection covers both skincare and accessories. The 20ml minis are compatible with BOTARI's Hand Cream Charm (RRP £12).

The Products: Three Formulas, Three Skin Needs

All three creams share a lightweight gel-cream texture, which BOTARI says absorbs quickly with a non-greasy finish. The brand describes the range as "three formulas, not three fragrances": each cream is built around a different skin need.

• Noni Renew (Rose Ember): This is the smoothing option. It pairs a Noni Cell Culture Complex with Samphira Bioactive, a plant-derived retinol alternative. According to BOTARI, it helps smooth the look of rough, dull skin. Panthenol, rice bran oil, camellia japonica oil and vitamin E are included for softness and hydration. The scent combines incense, sandalwood, smoked woods and a subtle rose.
• Cica Protect (Yuja Citrus): This formula is aimed at dry hands that get washed often. The brand says centella and panthenol help support the moisture barrier. It also contains HelioPure Skin, a microalgae antioxidant complex that BOTARI says helps defend against environmental stress. Glucosylrutin, jojoba oil, camellia japonica oil and vitamin E complete the formula. The scent is bright yuja with green, herbal notes and white musk.
• Charcoal Reset (Verdant Forest): This is the "reset" formula. According to BOTARI, activated bamboo charcoal helps draw out daily build-up without stripping the skin. The brand also says the prebiotic alpha-glucan oligosaccharide supports a balanced skin microbiome. Shea butter, rice bran oil, panthenol and vitamin E are included to help lock in moisture. The scent is woody, green and mineral.

How to Use Them

BOTARI recommends massaging a pea-sized amount into clean, dry hands and cuticles. It suggests choosing a formula based on how your hands feel that day:

• Cica Protect for dry hands that get washed often.
• Charcoal Reset for clearing impurities and daily build-up.
• Noni Renew for rough, dull-looking hands.

The brand says the 20ml tubes are sized for a bag, desk drawer or travel case. It advises stopping use if irritation occurs.

Release Date and Prices

The Discovery Set is available now in the UK for £28.00. According to BOTARI, it lets shoppers try every formula before choosing a full-size tube. The full-size collection follows on 25 October 2026, with each 70ml cream priced at £26.00.

What the Brand Says

According to BOTARI's launch announcement, hand care is an often-overlooked area of the beauty industry, typically served by basic formulas. The brand says its range was developed for specific skin needs, including barrier support, hydration, renewal and protection. It says the formulas use purposeful ingredients with attention to both texture and fragrance.

Where to Buy

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: BOTARI Discovery Set (£28.00); full sizes from 25 October 2026: Noni Renew (£26.00), Cica Protect (£26.00), Charcoal Reset (£26.00)

UK beauty and wellness brand Gem & Tonic, founded by Gemma Atkinson, has launched Reset & Recover Night Cream, a £34.00 evening moisturiser, with the launch reported on 28 September 2026. According to the brand, it developed the cream after its "Glow Getter" community asked for an overnight moisturiser to complete its routine. The formula combines peptides, an adaptogen and a gemstone extract, which the brand says help skin look smoother and brighter by morning.

What's New: A Night Cream Built for Busy Lives

Gemma Atkinson designed Gem & Tonic around straightforward routines for people with packed schedules. Reset & Recover brings that approach to the evening as a single night-time step.

The main ingredient is Dawnergy™, a peptide blend that, according to the brand, supports the skin's natural energy processes to reduce visible signs of fatigue and improve morning radiance. The other key ingredients and the brand's claims for them:

• Ashwagandha: an adaptogen the brand says helps manage the effects of everyday environmental stressors.
• Hematite extract: an iron-rich gemstone extract that, according to Gem & Tonic, helps improve skin firmness and elasticity over time.
• Olive-derived emollient: a natural softener the brand says deeply hydrates and provides lasting comfort.

The Hydration Heroes

The ingredient list also includes several widely used moisturising ingredients: glycerin, shea butter, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, vitamin E (tocopherol) and squalane. The brand says these help skin hold on to moisture overnight.

Gem & Tonic describes the texture as silky and lightweight. It says the cream sinks into skin without feeling heavy or sticky.

Clean Credentials

Reset & Recover is vegan and cruelty-free. According to the brand, the gemstone extracts used across the Gem & Tonic range are sustainably sourced and COSMOS-certified by ECOCERT.

How to Use It

1. Cleanse first. Apply the night cream to freshly cleansed skin every evening.
2. Massage in gently. Gently massage it into the face and neck.
3. Skip the eye area. Keep the cream away from the delicate skin around the eyes.
4. Be consistent. The brand recommends daily use and says consistent use delivers the full benefits.

Pairing: Gem & Tonic recommends cleansing with its Nourishing Cream Cleanser before applying the night cream. The product page also features the Boost & Protect Energising Body Lotion and the Revive & Refresh Hair and Scalp Mist alongside it.

What the Brand Says

Gemma Atkinson describes the night cream as "so rich yet so light" and says it "melts instantly into skin." In its launch post, the brand calls it a "fuss-free overnight facial" that it says soothes signs of daily stress and tiredness, supports skin barrier recovery, smooths fine lines and promotes collagen production while you sleep.

• US: Not yet confirmed
• UK: Gem & Tonic (£34.00)

Shiseido has launched the Shiseido Color + Glow Enhancer (Holiday Limited Edition), a multi-use face and eye palette priced at $44.00 in the US and available now on shiseido.com. The palette was created with Japanese designer TOMO KOIZUMI and is part of the SHISEIDO x Tomo Koizumi Holiday 2026: Release Date, Products & Prices collection. According to Shiseido, it is designed to illuminate, blush and sculpt, and each compact has its own one-of-a-kind marbled pattern.

What's New: A Palette Inspired by Fushigi Iro

The edition is called Fushigi Iro. According to Shiseido, the Japanese phrase signifies a sense of awe. The palette combines three shades, a blue, a red and a green, which can be used as highlighter, blush and eyeshadow. Its key features, as described by the brand, are:

• Marbled pattern: each palette shows a one-of-a-kind swirl of the three curated shades.
• Photochromic powder: Shiseido says it harnesses light for multidimensional color that stays vibrant in any lighting.
• Skincare Liquid Complex: according to the brand, it supports hydration and smooth application, giving the powder a soft, moist-feeling texture.

Shiseido reports 12 hours of lasting color, clinically tested on 35 women, and 8 hours of hydration, clinically tested on 26 women. The formula includes argan, safflower seed and camellia japonica seed oils.

Meet the Designer: TOMO KOIZUMI

Koizumi was born in Chiba Prefecture in 1988 and taught himself dressmaking from the age of 15. He launched his eponymous brand in 2011 while still at university.

His career since then includes:

• A first New York runway show in 2019, after he was discovered on social media.
• The dress worn for the national anthem at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics opening ceremony.
• Solo contemporary art exhibitions in Paris and Tokyo, with works acquired by museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
• The LVMH Prize 2020 and the 39th Mainichi Fashion Grand Prix.
• A client list that includes Lady Gaga, Sam Smith, Lauryn Hill and Björk.

According to Shiseido, the palette reflects Koizumi's signature use of vibrant color.

How to Use the Color + Glow Enhancer

Shiseido suggests three ways to use the shades:

1. Solo shade: sweep one shade across the eyelid for a soft wash of color.
2. Pair two: blend two shades together for a flush of blush with built-in glow on the cheeks.
3. Swirl all three: combine all three for a luminous, sculpted finish on the high points of the face.

The palette can be applied with fingertips for a sheer, skin-like effect or with a brush for more diffused placement. For cheeks, Shiseido suggests its MARU FUDE Multi Face Brush.

Price and Availability

The price is $44.00 in the US, and the palette is available to order now on shiseido.com. In Japan it is priced at ¥5700 and was released on 1 October 2026. A UK release has not yet been confirmed, and the palette is not yet listed on Shiseido's UK site.

Release Date

OPERA Sheer Matte Lipstick 106 Cinnamon Brown went on sale in Japan on 30 September 2026 as a limited-edition autumn 2026 shade. OPERA has not announced release dates for other markets.

The 106 Cinnamon Brown Shade

The new release is the shade itself. According to OPERA, Cinnamon Brown is a deep brown with a warm, flushed tint, paired with a sheer, "nude" texture. The Japanese press release calls it an "inner-lip (mucosa) brown". This is a common J-beauty term for colours that mimic the naturally deeper tone of the inner lip, rather than an opaque brown.

The shade was created for OPERA's NUDE KISS theme for autumn 2026. The brand says the theme centres on warmth and a natural flush rather than heavy pigment. Brown lip shades are also part of other recent launches, including the KISS NEW YORK Line & Fill Lip Stain, whose 10 shades span nudes, pinks, berries and browns.

• Limited edition: it is a limited autumn 2026 shade created for the "NUDE KISS" theme.

What the Brand Says About the Formula

According to OPERA, the Sheer Matte Lipstick uses the brand's own "powderless" formula. The colour is melted into a moisturising film with a frosted-glass-like texture. The brand describes the result as follows:

• Matte, but comfortable: the brand says it melts onto lips instead of clinging to dry patches.
• Sheer, buildable colour: according to OPERA, the shade shows through softly rather than looking flat.
• Diffused finish: OPERA describes the "see-through matte" finish as soft-focus and not dry.
• No lip balm needed: according to OPERA, the formula glides on smoothly by itself.

medicube says to apply an appropriate amount to wet or dry hair, focusing on damaged areas. For a smoother finish, it says to apply more to the mid-lengths and ends after blow-drying. The brand also suggests pairing the oil with the Rosemary PDRN Hair Mask for extra bonding care.
