Hit the Slopes in Style with NARS Après Ski Holiday 2026

Winter's most coveted makeup drop has arrived, and NARS is taking us straight to the chalet. The NARS Après Ski Holiday 2026 collection is a love letter to alpine glamour — think crisp mountain air, iridescent snowfall, and the rosy flush of cheeks warmed by a fireside cocktail. Encased in cool, icy blue packaging inspired by ski puffer jackets, this limited-edition lineup captures the elegance of dressing up for a slope-side soirée.

Here's everything you need to know about the launch, plus how to wear each piece.

The Après Ski Cheek & Eye Palette ($62)

The undisputed hero of the collection, the Après Ski Cheek & Eye Palette comes in two curated colourways: Snow Games and Aspen Highlands. Each palette houses four high-impact eyeshadows, a vibrant blush, and a luminous highlighter — everything you need to build a complete alpine-inspired look from piste to party.

What makes it special:

• One-stroke pigmentation on the eyeshadows for effortless colour payoff
• An iridescent highlighter designed to mimic winter's crisp, icy glow
• A slope-side flush blush that recreates that natural, cold-kissed vibrancy
• A built-in mirror inside the exclusive puffer-textured compact

Pro tip: Sweep the highlighter across the tops of cheekbones, the cupid's bow, and the inner corners of the eyes for that just-came-in-from-the-cold radiance. Layer the blush high on the apples for the freshest slope-flush effect.

Light Reflecting Prismatic Powder ($46)

The NARS Light Reflecting Prismatic Powder is a holiday-edition marbleized, pastel-shaded powder engineered for subtle, dimensional brightness. Unlike a traditional highlighter, this multi-tonal formula catches light softly, giving skin a lit-from-within finish rather than an obvious sparkle.

How to use it:

• Dust lightly over the high points of the face after foundation for an all-over lift
• Press onto the décolletage for a soft, luminous evening glow
• Layer sparingly over cream blush to add prismatic dimension

Arctic pH-Adjusting Lip Sheen ($40)

Rounding out the collection is the Arctic pH-Adjusting Lip Sheen — a clever, colour-shifting formula that reacts to the individual chemistry of your lips to create a custom, personalised pink. It's the perfect finishing touch: glossy, hydrating, and uniquely yours every time you swipe it on.

Release Date & Where to Shop

The entire NARS Après Ski Holiday 2026 collection is available now as a limited edition, so if you've had your eye on the puffer compact, don't wait — these festive launches tend to sell out quickly, particularly the palette.

Our Verdict

This is quintessential holiday NARS: cool-toned, chic, and beautifully wearable beyond the season. The Après Ski Cheek & Eye Palette in particular is a standout — a versatile, all-in-one face and eye solution that would make an exquisite gift (for someone else, or absolutely for yourself). Pair it with the Prismatic Powder and Arctic Lip Sheen for a complete, glacial-glam holiday look that's equal parts refined and playful.

Whether you're heading to an actual ski chalet or just channelling the aesthetic from your bathroom mirror, NARS has delivered a collection worth unwrapping.

Snow bunnies and cheek palette collectors, mark your calendars. NARS is heading to the slopes this festive season with the Alpine Rush Blush and Highlighter Cheek Palette, a limited-edition six-pan beauty landing as part of the brand's dreamy Holiday 2026 Après Ski Collection. If your winter makeup wishlist is starting to take shape, this frosty pink palette deserves top billing.

A Six-Pan Cheek Wardrobe for Winter

Priced at $62 and dropping in September 2026, the Alpine Rush palette is a full cheek wardrobe tucked into one compact. Inside, you'll find two iridescent highlighters and four rosy pink blushes in a mix of matte and shimmer finishes, all designed to layer, mix, and dimension-build for that windswept, post-slope flush.

Each pan holds a generous 0.12 oz / 3.5 g of product, giving you a total of 21g across the palette — impressive value for a limited-edition holiday launch.

The Shade Lineup

Every shade is named with a snow-day wink:

• Windchill – shimmering iridescent blue highlighter
• Flurry – shimmering cool pink highlighter
• Mad Love – mauve pink with gold shimmer
• Off-Piste – light raspberry with iridescent gold shimmer
• Ski Bunny – matte blue pink
• First Tracks – matte mauve raspberry

The cool-toned pinks and iridescent toppers are tailor-made for that "just came in from the cold" glow — think flushed apples of the cheeks with a snow-sparkle highlight that catches every string of fairy lights.

Packaging With That Après-Ski Feel

NARS has wrapped the compact in the same silver cushioned puffy lid used across the Après Ski Collection, stamped with the signature NARS logo. It's tactile, giftable, and instantly recognisable as part of the holiday story.

Worth noting: if you're also eyeing the NARS Holiday Après Ski Cheek & Eye Palette, there is some overlap — Windchill and Ski Bunny appear in both. Something to weigh up before you check out.

The Rest of the Après Ski Collection

Alpine Rush is only one stop on the mountain. The full Holiday Après Ski Collection also includes:

• 2 Cheek & Eye Palettes
• Light Reflecting Prismatic Pressed Powder
• 2 Line & Shine Lip Duos
• 2 Mini Liquid Blush Duos
• Arctic pH Adjusting Lip Scene
• Light Reflecting Serum Cushion Foundation Case
• Mini Orgasm Lip Balm & Cheek Set
• Mini Light Reflecting Setting Powder Set

How to Wear It

For maximum winter-glow effect:

1. Layer your blushes — sweep matte Ski Bunny or First Tracks as your base for a natural flush, then tap Mad Love or Off-Piste on the high points to add dimension.
2. Top with an iridescent finish — dust Flurry across the cheekbones for a cool pink sheen, or use Windchill on the inner corners of the eyes and cupid's bow for a snow-kissed reflect.
3. Mix a custom shade — swirl two blushes together on a fluffy brush for a bespoke tone that suits your skin.

The Alpine Rush palette lands on the NARS website and at retailers in September 2026 — set a reminder, because this frosty flush is going to move fast.

The cult-favorite brand is back with a major moment: NARS has officially unveiled a brand-new multi-shade lip palette that's about to become the only thing in your makeup bag that matters.
