Makeup: Latest Posts

MAC Cosmetics has relaunched Frost Lipstick in 23 shades, on sale in the US and Canada from 8 October 2026 at maccosmetics.com and MAC stores, priced at $24 in the US. The brand announced the return on Instagram: "Welcome back, Frost Lipstick. Our cult classic returns with more shades than ever."

Another MAC launch this season is the MAC 24 Days of MAC Icons Advent Calendar 2026, part of the MAC Holiday 2026 collection.

Updated 8 October 2026: all 23 Frost Lipstick shades are now available to buy at maccosmetics.com for $24. MAC UK still lists only the 10 classic shades at £22, and six of them are out of stock.

What's New: The Full Frost Lipstick Shade List

MAC's shade card reads "[13] new shades, [10] classic shades". The 13 new-to-the-relaunch shades are made up of three bringbacks and ten all-new colours. Shade descriptions are MAC's own.

The ten classics match the shades already listed on MAC's US and UK sites. Model Behaviour, Odyssey, On and On and Icon appeared on an earlier MAC swatch image, but they are not part of this 23-shade US/Canada list.

What the Brand Says

On its product page, MAC says: "Our cult classic M·A·C Lipstick is back in the spotlight." The brand describes a weightless, high-pearl formula that catches light "without the grit of glitter", with medium, buildable coverage. According to MAC, the lipstick immediately moisturizes lips: 100% of panelists had an immediate improvement in moisture and saw a +28% increase in moisture right after use, based on clinical testing on 25 panelists who used the product once. MAC UK lists wear time as up to 8 hours.

The ingredient list starts with castor seed oil, with jojoba seed oil and candelilla, carnauba and beeswax waxes further down. The shimmer comes from pearl pigments such as mica and borosilicates. MAC notes that ingredient lists may vary, so check the packaging.

Campaign and How to Apply

The campaign features makeup artist Erin Parsons wearing Spanish Fly, lined with Lip Pencil in Chestnut and Root For Me. Photography is by Hanna Khymych.

MAC recommends applying straight from the bullet for a quick sheen, or using the 316S Brush for more precision. To recreate the campaign look, line the lips with Chestnut and Root For Me, then apply Spanish Fly.

Key Details on Prices and Availability

Frost Lipstick costs $24 in the US. In the UK it is £22, and the Frost shades have been listed there since August 2026. On 8 October 2026, MAC UK listed only the 10 classic shades: "O", Bronze Shimmer, Gel and New York Apple were in stock, while Angel, Bombshell, CB 96, Fabby, Fresh Moroccan and Plum Dandy were out of stock. The 13 new and returning shades aren't listed in the UK yet. MAC has not yet confirmed the Canadian price or any third-party retailers.

The Ciele Mini Blush & Cheer Liquid Blush SPF 50+ Gift Set is a holiday trio of mineral SPF liquid blush minis, priced at $35 at Sephora US. It launched in the Sephora app on 8 October 2026, and Sephora lists 9 October 2026 for its other platforms. The set includes Sugar, a soft plum shade sold only in this trio. It's part of the Ciele Holiday 2026 gift sets, alongside The Winter Wardrobe and The Brush Vault.

Updated 8 October 2026: the set is now available to buy in the Sephora app at $35; Sephora lists 9 October 2026 for its website and other platforms. Because Sugar is a limited-edition shade, stock can change quickly.

What's New

The set is a holiday version of Ciele's blush & PROTECT SPF 50+ liquid blush. The box reads "blush & CHEER Mini Blush Trio," and Ciele's campaign imagery calls it the "Blush & Cheer Holiday Trio." It contains three minis:

• Sugar: a soft plum, labelled "Limited Edition Shade" and available only in this set
• Behati: one of the brand's bestselling shades
• June: also among the brand's bestsellers

Each mini holds 0.09 oz / 2.7 mL. The full-size blush & PROTECT holds 0.19 fl. oz / 5.5 mL. The trio comes in a green-and-white plaid box with a green satin ribbon handle, and the minis have green caps.

What the Brand Says

According to Sephora and Ciele, the liquid blush gives lightweight, buildable colour. Ciele describes it as a highly pigmented, hydrating formula with a radiant finish. Key claims, all attributed to the brand:

• Mineral-based, non-nano broad-spectrum SPF 50+
• Protection against four types of radiation: UVA, UVB, blue light and infrared
• Acne-safe and made without pore cloggers
• Antioxidant properties that the brand says lower the risk of cellular damage to the skin
• Allantoin, which Ciele says moisturises and soothes, and bisabolol, which it says calms skin and reduces redness

Ciele labels the formula clean, vegan and fragrance-free, with no talc, phthalates, parabens or sulfates. The set carries Sephora's "Clean at Sephora" badge.

How to Apply

Ciele's directions for the blush & PROTECT formula are:

1. Use the doe-foot applicator to place a small drop on the centre of the cheek.
2. Blend with fingers, a brush or a sponge.
3. Add more product for deeper colour.

The brand says the blush can be worn on its own for a flush of colour. For recycling, Ciele advises cutting the doe-foot off the end of the applicator, rinsing the bottle and cap, and recycling them with the box.

Key Details

The set costs $35 at both Sephora US and cielecosmetics.com. Ciele and Sephora give its value as $50. The minis aren't sold separately, so there's no price per mini.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($35), and ciele ($35), where it has been listed since 9 October 2026.
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International: Not yet confirmed

Checked 10 October 2026: in stock at cielecosmetics.com at $35; listed at Sephora US at $35 as Limited Edition.

Dior has unveiled its Holiday 2026 makeup collection, led by the limited-edition Dior Médaillon lip balm ($95 US, £80 UK). It went on sale on dior.com in the US, UK and Poland on 8 October 2026, the UK date Beauty Calendar had reported. Dior calls the line the Holiday Look in the UK and the Holiday 2026 Edition in the US. Beauty Calendar and Instagram beauty-news accounts call it the "Cinnamon Glaze" collection after its warm honey and cinnamon tones. In Dior's own naming, 623 Cinnamon Glaze is one of the two Diorshow 5 Couleurs palettes. This is a separate launch from the Dior Backstage Pop Glows Glow Maximizer palettes.

Updated 8 October 2026: the five main Holiday 2026 products are now on sale at dior.com in the US, UK and Poland, with every product page showing an add-to-bag button. The collection is limited edition, so stock can change quickly.

Products and Shades

• Dior Médaillon, 001 Crystal Pink ($95 / £80): Dior describes it as a collector sparkle lip balm designed as a "makeup jewel" to adorn your phone. It is an ultra-sparkling pink balm with a creamy texture. Dior claims 24 hours of hydration (instrumental test, 32 volunteers).
• Rouge Dior Holiday Edition ($53 / £44): A bullet case decorated with the medallion and Cannage pattern, in four shades: 232 Glazed Peach, 297 Glazed Violet, 720 Icone and 833 Cinnamon Kiss. Finishes are velvet, satin or glitter. The formula contains peony extract, pomegranate flower and shea butter, and the US page lists the lipstick as refillable.
• Diorshow 5 Couleurs ($75 / £63): Two palettes, 623 Cinnamon Glaze (warm undertones) and 926 Frosted Delights (cool undertones). Finishes are satin and pearlescent, and the formula is infused with cornflower extract. Beauty Calendar says the palettes are inspired by gingerbread and icy frosting.
• Dior Forever Glow Luminizer, 029 Frozen Médaillon ($63 / £62): A peach powder highlighter with golden pearlescent pigments. The brand says it gives a halo finish for a crystal glow.
• Rouge Dior Sequin Liquid Duo ($55 / £46): A double-ended product pairing a transfer-proof liquid lipstick with a universal gloss. It comes in 10 "gourmand" shades, including 100 Sweet Nude.
• Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick: A pH-activated cream blush stick. Holiday shades include 172 Frosted Blue, and Beauty Calendar mentions a second, vibrant pink shade. Dior claims 12 hours of colour (instrumental test, 25 women). Price not yet confirmed.
• Dior Vernis: Holiday shades include 767 Golden Cinnamon, and Beauty Calendar reports two spicy shades in total. Price not yet confirmed.

How to Use

To attach the Médaillon, peel off the adhesive backing, place the balm on the adhesive following the template, separate it from the card and stick it to the back of your phone. Apply the balm with fingertips or a brush.

For the Sequin Liquid Duo, apply the liquid lipstick first. According to Dior, it turns ultra-glittery when you press your lips together. Layer the gloss on top for extra shine.

Catrice's Hydra Fusion Lip Treatment is a new limited-edition balm-meets-gloss lip treatment with vegan PDRN and squalane, offered in two shades, C010 Nude Veil and C020 Rosy Dew. It costs €4.99 on catrice.eu Germany and €4.95 at Boozyshop Italy, where it was first seen on sale on 5 October 2026. It is part of the Catrice THE FORMULA (+) EDIT, a nine-product PDRN makeup drop.

Availability update (7 October 2026): both shades are in stock at catrice.eu Germany and Boozyshop Italy. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The brand's other launches this season include the Catrice Fall 2026 Collection and the Catrice House of Gold Advent Calendar 2026.

When Did the Catrice Hydra Fusion Lip Treatment Launch?

Catrice hasn't announced an official release date. Both shades first appeared on sale at Boozyshop Italy on 5 October 2026 and were listed as in stock on catrice.eu Germany when checked on 7 October 2026. Catrice showed the product on Instagram on 6 October 2026.

Price

On catrice.eu Germany, each shade is €4.99. Boozyshop Italy lists both shades at €4.95. No US or UK price has been announced.

Shades

The Hydra Fusion Lip Treatment comes in two shades, each with a dual-tone swirl in the tube:

• C010 Nude Veil: described by Catrice as a light nude shade; its swatch on glass shows a warm nude-brown.
• C020 Rosy Dew: described by Catrice as "a soft rosy shade"; its swatch on glass shows a rosy pink.

Where to Buy

Checked 7 October 2026: in stock at catrice.eu Germany (both shades, €4.99) and Boozyshop Italy (both shades, €4.95). The product was not yet listed in dm Germany's product search.

What Makes the Catrice Hydra Fusion Lip Treatment Different?

• Hybrid format: Catrice describes it as a balm-meets-gloss texture that combines a balm's comfort with a gloss's shine.
• PDRN in a lip product: the formula lists sodium DNA, which Catrice calls vegan PDRN. On Instagram, Catrice describes it as "rose-derived."
• Donut applicator: the product twists up from the pack and is applied with a soft donut-shaped silicone tip, which Catrice's Instagram calls a "slanted donut applicator."

Formula and Packaging

According to Catrice, the Hydra Fusion Lip Treatment is enriched with vegan PDRN and squalane. The brand says it leaves a sheer, glossy, non-sticky finish and helps visually even out fine lip lines. Key listed ingredients include:

• Squalane
• Macadamia seed oil
• Ceramide NP
• Panthenol
• Tocopheryl acetate
• Sodium DNA (the PDRN ingredient)
• Palmitoyl tripeptide-1

The formula also contains parfum (fragrance).

Catrice's directions are to twist the texture up and glide it evenly over the lips with the silicone applicator, then reapply as desired during the day. The brand says it can be worn alone or over a lip liner or lipstick.

The lip treatment belongs to THE FORMULA (+) EDIT, a limited-edition "Trend Drop" listed under Catrice's New and Limited Editions. The edit also includes the PDRN Moisture Lip Butter (€3.99) and the PDRN Glow Multi Stick (€6.99), along with primers, a serum blush, a highlighter, a skin beautifier and a brush. For another recent lip launch with a donut theme, see the Marin Skincare Cider Donut Lip Treatment.

The e.l.f. Power Grip Gold Drip Duo is two new limited-edition products sold separately, not a boxed set: the Power Grip Gold Drip Primer and the Power Grip Gold Drip Setting Spray. Both are Power Grip formulas infused with gold micro-shimmer flecks, and each costs $11 in the US and £11 in the UK. e.l.f. Cosmetics officially announced the duo on 7 October 2026, saying it is available now on elfcosmetics.com, the e.l.f. app and TikTok Shop, with retailer rollouts starting 9 October.

Availability update (7 October 2026): in stock at elfcosmetics.com and elfcosmetics.co.uk; not yet listed at Ulta Beauty, Target, Superdrug or Amazon UK. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

The duo arrives alongside the brand's other fall and holiday launch, the e.l.f. POP Spicy Bundt Nice Tromsø Collection.

Release Date

e.l.f. officially launched the Gold Drip duo in the US on 7 October 2026 on elfcosmetics.com, the e.l.f. app and TikTok Shop. The products had already appeared on the e.l.f. UK website in September 2026, ahead of the official announcement. Retailer dates for each market are listed under Where to Buy below.

Price

• US: $11 each
• UK: £11 each
• Canada, Mexico, Europe: price not yet listed

In the UK, both match the £11 price of the regular-size Power Grip Primer and Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray.

Products

• Power Grip Gold Drip Primer ($11 / £11, 30 ml): According to e.l.f., it is the same sticky gel Power Grip Primer formula, now infused with gold micro-shimmer flecks. The brand says it grips makeup for long-lasting wear and illuminates all skin tones with a radiant glow.
• Power Grip Gold Drip Setting Spray ($11 / £11, 80 ml): A bi-phase spray that e.l.f. says combines a moisturising oil phase with a makeup-gripping water phase. According to the brand, it sets makeup in a fine, non-sticky, non-greasy mist and leaves a gilded finish.

Where to Buy

• US: e.l.f. Cosmetics US (primer, $11) and e.l.f. Cosmetics US (spray, $11), plus the e.l.f. app and TikTok Shop. e.l.f. says the duo comes online to Target, Ulta Beauty, Walmart, Walgreens and Amazon from 9 October. In-store, it is due at Walgreens on 9 October, Ulta Beauty on 11 October, Target, H-E-B and Kroger on 25 October, CVS on 1 November, and Meijer on 4 November.

• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 7 October 2026: in stock at elfcosmetics.com and elfcosmetics.co.uk; not yet listed at Ulta Beauty, Target, Superdrug or Amazon UK.

What Makes the Power Grip Gold Drip Duo Different?

• Both formulas add gold micro-shimmer flecks to the existing Power Grip formats.
• The primer keeps the original sticky gel texture, and the spray uses a shake-to-activate bi-phase formula.
• e.l.f. sells the duo as a limited edition, and the Gold Drip Primer comes in a 30 ml tube versus the original's 24 ml regular size, at the same £11 UK price.

The Gold Drip Setting Spray (80 ml / 2.7 fl oz, £11) sits alongside the core e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray, which e.l.f. UK also sells at £11. The main change across both Gold Drip products is the added gold micro-shimmer.

Formula and Packaging

e.l.f. says both products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and the primer page cites Leaping Bunny and PETA certification. The brand's swatch images show the primer as a gold gel and the spray as a white bi-phase swatch. e.l.f. also shares before/after images and campaign shots of both products on a gold background.

If you want a primer in a different format, the brand also makes the e.l.f. Stay Cool Gel Primer Stick, and you can browse all new makeup releases for the season's other launches.

How to use, per e.l.f.: Start with clean, moisturised skin, let the moisturiser absorb for 1–2 minutes, then apply a pea-sized amount of primer. Shake the setting spray to activate both phases, then mist from about 6 inches away with eyes and lips closed.

Urban Decay's When Sip Happens Lip Toy Duo is a new limited-edition holiday set of two full-size Lip Toy pH-reactive lip oil stains in Fresita and Drizzled. The $35 set has a $48 value, and Sephora US currently lists it as an app exclusive. It was first seen on sale on 7 October 2026; Urban Decay hasn't announced an official launch date.

Availability update (7 October 2026): listed at Sephora US as an app exclusive, with purchase available through the Sephora app; not listed at Sephora Canada; not found at Sephora UK or Boots. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Urban Decay's other new launch this season is the Urban Decay Chrome Melts Eyeshadow.

When Did the Urban Decay When Sip Happens Duo Launch?

Urban Decay hasn't announced an official release date. The duo was first seen on sale at Sephora US on 7 October 2026, labelled "New Limited Edition" and "App Exclusive."

Price

The set costs $35 at Sephora US. Bought one by one, the two shades would cost $48, because the single Lip Toy sells for $24 at Sephora US. No UK, Canadian or European price has been published.

What's Inside

• 2 full-size Lip Toy Long-Lasting pH Hydrating Lip Oil Stains
• 1 high-stain shade, 1 low-stain shade
• 0.4 oz / 12 ml each
• Total: 2 x 12 ml = 24 ml (0.8 oz)

Shades

• Fresita: a pink with a high stain, scented like strawberry milkshake.
• Drizzled: a mauve with a low stain, scented like açai bowl.

The single Lip Toy comes in eight shades. Urban Decay's images show a swatch of each duo shade, and each shade worn on three different skin tones. One image shows a model wearing Fresita, and another shows Drizzled paired with Urban Decay 24/7 Lip Liner in Blackmail.

Where to Buy

• US: Sephora ($35; currently listed as an app exclusive). Single shades are at Sephora ($24 each).
• UK: Not yet confirmed
• International (Canada, Europe): Not yet confirmed (not listed at Sephora Canada)
• Other markets: availability varies by region; more international stockists may be added.

Checked 7 October 2026: listed at Sephora US as an app exclusive (the website directed shoppers to the Sephora app; shipping and pickup weren't offered on the website); not listed at Sephora Canada; not found at Sephora UK or Boots.

What Makes the When Sip Happens Duo Different?

• It pairs one high-stain shade with one low-stain shade, both full size.
• Each shade has its own dessert-inspired scent: strawberry milkshake and açai bowl.
• Sephora currently lists it as a Sephora app exclusive, while the single Lip Toy shades are sold on the website too.

Formula and Packaging

According to Urban Decay and Sephora, Lip Toy is a hybrid lip-caring oil that combines the non-sticky shine of a gloss with the long-lasting tint of a pH-reactive stain. The brand says it provides up to 24 hours of hydration. Its highlighted ingredients are:

• Hyaluronic acid, which the brand says hydrates.
• Ceramides, which the brand says strengthen the lip barrier.
• Vitamin E, which the brand says supports healthier-looking lips over time.

The products are listed as vegan and cruelty-free.

Sephora's page for the single Lip Toy cites a consumer study of 118 women aged 18–29 after one week of use. In that study, 93% agreed bare lips looked healthier, 91.5% said lips felt softer and moisturised, and 94.5% described them as juicy.

The set comes in a purple box with silver star sparkles and "When Sip Happens" lettering. The tubes are pink (Fresita) and berry-mauve (Drizzled), with stripe graphics.

Lip Toy is one of several pH-reactive lip oils launched this autumn, alongside the jane iredale Just Kissed pH Lip Oil. For another $35 holiday lip duo, see the BUXOM Dancing Duo Lip Kit.

How It Works

Sephora's directions are to apply the oil to clean, dry lips. Then wait two minutes for the pH reaction to develop the stain.

Fara Homidi's Essential Cruise Box is a limited-edition holiday 2026 set pairing the new Shine Baume Stick with a full Essential Blonzer Compact. The set, also called the Boîte Croisière Essentielle, went on sale at farahomidi.com on 7 October 2026 for $110 (US). It comes in two options, Universelle + Nue and Universelle + Velle. According to Fara Homidi, Sephora US will follow on 12 October 2026.

Availability update (7 October 2026): in stock at farahomidi.com (US) in both options. Because it's limited edition, stock can change quickly.

Fara Homidi's holiday 2026 releases also include the Fara Homidi Essential Lip Contour Trio, a set of three mini Smudge & Contour Lip Pencils in Faun, Grie and Noisette.

Release Date

The Essential Cruise Box went on sale at farahomidi.com on 7 October 2026, after being listed overnight on 6–7 October ET. Fara Homidi previously announced Sephora US availability from 12 October 2026. That listing could not yet be verified.

The set contains 2 products, one powder and one balm, for a total net weight of 0.44 oz (.12 oz + .32 oz):

• 1 x Essential Blonzer Compact, a powder blush-bronzer (Net Wt .12 oz)
• 1 x Shine Baume Stick, a balm illuminator (Net Wt .32 oz)

• Universelle + Nue: Shine Baume Stick in Universelle (a champagne sheen) with Essential Blonzer in Nue (beige with cool-pink undertones)
• Universelle + Velle: Shine Baume Stick in Universelle with Essential Blonzer in Velle (burnished-berry with deep-cool undertones)

The standalone Blonzer also comes in Baie (berry with cool undertones), but that shade is not offered in the Cruise Box. Another limited-edition bronzer-and-blush pairing this season is the LYS Beauty Mini Elite Standard Bronze + Blush Collection, a $20 set of two cream sticks.

What Makes the Essential Cruise Box Different?

• New format: the Shine Baume was previously sold only inside a compact, beside the brand's Smooth Veil Soft Matte formula. This set is its first release as a stick, and the brand says the stick is only available in this set.
• Two shade options: buyers choose the Blonzer in Nue or Velle, while the Shine Baume shade, Universelle, stays the same.
• Finish pairing: the set combines a luminous-matte powder with a gel-to-cream balm.

Formula and Packaging

According to Fara Homidi, the Essential Blonzer is a powder-to-cream formula made with Lumi-Matte Technology. The brand says this technology combines one rich and one light oil with talc-free powders for a "high-creaminess texture", plus a fine silicone. The brand also highlights these ingredients:

• snow mushroom and hyaluronic acid, for hydration and antioxidant protection
• passionfruit seed oil, for softness and suppleness
• squalane, to help prevent moisture loss

The ingredient list for the Nue set includes fragrance (Parfum) and vanillin.

The brand describes Shine Baume as "a universal translucent illuminator with a glass-like warm champagne sheen". It says the gel-to-cream formula offers "a dewy radiance and a subtle candlelit glow". Its key ingredients, according to Fara Homidi, are:

• Phylcare Hyacolor, a hyaluronic acid microsphere technology the brand says has a plumping effect
• sunflower seed oil, which the brand says supports the skin's moisture barrier
• hyper-reflective mica

Fara Homidi says both the set and the compact are made of hand-polished lacquered metal, with the stick in a red lacquered case. According to the brand, the compact's inner base and refill pan use 42% cellulose-based plastic sourced from sustainably managed forests.

How to Use

Fara Homidi recommends using the Shader Brush to sweep the Blonzer over the cheeks, nose and forehead, either as an all-over soft dusting or for precise blonzing. The brand describes the result as a feather-light luminous matte flush. It then suggests gliding the Shine Baume Stick across the cheekbones, eyelids, bridge of the nose and cupid's bow.

The Essential Cruise Box sits alongside this season's other holiday sets in our makeup releases section.

KISS NEW YORK has launched the Line & Fill Lip Stain, a dual-ended lip stain marker in 10 shades priced at $5.99 each, listed on ivyusa.com on 30 September 2026. The brand announced the range on Instagram on 6 October 2026, introducing it as a new "lip lineup" spanning nudes, pinks, berries and browns.

What's New

The Line & Fill Lip Stain combines a lip liner and a lip stain in one marker. Its dual-sided plush tip has a slim precision edge for outlining and a flat surface for filling in color. According to KISS NEW YORK, the formula is highly pigmented and buildable, and gives long-lasting, feather-free color with minimal bleeding. The brand also describes it as non-sticky and non-drying.

The formula includes three conditioning ingredients. KISS NEW YORK makes the following claims for them:

• Peptides help reduce the look of fine lines.
• Biotin helps strengthen the skin barrier.
• Panthenol provides deep hydration.

The listed formula is water-based and also contains hydroxyethyl urea, glycerin and tripeptide-1. Depending on the shade, it may contain colorants including Red 33, Red 28, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6 and Blue 1.

Shades

The 10 shades and the brand's descriptions from its swatch chart:

• Cashmere: warm nude
• Pretty Please: soft pink (labeled "Pretty Pink" on the Instagram chart)
• Doll: cool nude
• PB&J: warm brown
• Stilettos: berry red
• Cherry Cola: dark rose
• Teddy: taupe brown
• Bittersweet: burgundy brown
• Espresso: rich brown
• After Hours: black

Every shade costs the same price.

How to Apply

KISS NEW YORK recommends these steps:

1. Start with clean, dry lips. Remove any oils, balm or other lip products first.
2. Use the slim edge of the tip to outline and define the lip shape.
3. Turn to the flat side and glide it across the lips to fill in color evenly.
4. Add more layers for richer, more vibrant color.
5. Let the stain dry completely before applying other lip products. The brand says this gives long-lasting, transfer-resistant wear.

After use, the brand advises storing the marker upside down (tip down) so the tip stays saturated with color.
