If you thought the first Bobbi Brown x The Met collaboration was the whole story, think again. A second, holiday-themed chapter is quietly making its way to counters — and it might just be the most artful launch of the season. Here's everything we know so far about the Bobbi Brown x The Met Holiday 2026 Collection, from the neutral eyeshadow palette everyone will be talking about to the painterly blushes and gilded lipsticks.
A Sequel Collaboration Worth Waiting For
While the original Bobbi Brown x The Met launch is set to hit Sephora on September 26, 2026, the holiday sequel is expected to follow in October or November. It's a completely separate six-piece edit, each product dressed in artwork pulled straight from The Met's iconic collection.
The Star: The Met 8-Well Eyeshadow Palette ($72)
The centerpiece is the Bobbi Brown x The Met 8-Well Eyeshadow Palette, a limited-edition compact featuring a detail from Henri-Edmond Cross's *Landscape with Stars* (1905–1908) framed in gilded gold. Inside, four matte shades are stamped with a raised pressed design, alongside four shimmers — a beautifully wearable neutral story compared to the lilac-toned original palette.
The eight shades include:
- ✨ Tapestry
- ✨ Gilded Frame
- ✨ Glimmering Gallery
- ✨ Sculpted Bronze
- ✨ Graphite Glimmer
- ✨ Artist's Easel
- ✨ Sketch
- ✨ Midnight Ink
How to wear it: Sweep Sketch or Tapestry across the lid as a wash, tuck Sculpted Bronze into the crease for warmth, and press Glimmering Gallery onto the center of the lid with a flat brush for that gallery-lit glow. Line with Midnight Ink for a soft smoky finish.
Brightening Blush in Two New Shades
The holiday Brightening Blush compacts are a triple threat — three coordinating shades in one pan that you can wear solo or blend into a custom flush. The lids feature a detail from Gustav Klimt's *Mäda Primavesi* (1912–1913), and both shades are stunning:
- Blushed Peach — warm, sun-kissed, universally flattering
- Blushed Burgundy — deeper, berry-toned, gorgeous for winter
Bonus tip: the shimmery tones double beautifully as eyeshadow.
Luxe Lipsticks and Extra Lip Tinted Balms
Two new Luxe Lipsticks — Neutral Rose (a glossy beige nude) and Parisian Red (the perfect festive red) — arrive wrapped in Odilon Redon's *Pandora* artwork on the flat sides of the bullet.
Meanwhile, the Extra Lip Tinted Balms in Bare Rose and Bare Mahogany feature Claude Monet's *Bouquet of Sunflowers* on their gold chrome cases. With 84% skin-caring ingredients and pH-adjusting color, they deliver that "your lips but healthier" flush.
Luxe Shimmer Eyeshadow in Rose Illusion
Rounding out the collection is a single Luxe Shimmer Eyeshadow in Rose Illusion, a seashell pink with a gold shift housed in a compact echoing Landscape with Stars. If you've never tried Bobbi Brown's Luxe formula, this is the excuse — the multidimensional shimmer catches light like nothing else.
Final Thoughts
Between the museum-caliber packaging, the wearable neutral palette, and those Klimt-adorned blushes, the Bobbi Brown x The Met Holiday 2026 Collection is shaping up to be a collector's dream. Mark your calendars — this one will move fast at Sephora.
