Top 100 Cosmetics Trends in February

From Glass Skin Serums to Intensely Pigmented Lipsticks

— February 15, 2026 — Fashion
February 2026 cosmetics are shaping up to be some of the year's most versatile, with hydration products taking center stage alongside anti-aging solutions and celebrity partnerships. From unnamed skin tints to vegan pressed powders, this month's cosmetic trends highlight an industry that is simultaneously science-driven, aspirational, and deeply attuned to consumer desire for both efficacy and inspiration.

Building off their 2024 partnership, e.l.f. Cosmetics has once again partnered with Liquid Death to launch a new line of limited-edition Lip Embalms, combining playful design with functional beauty products. Inspired by Liquid Death’s signature mountain water, sparkling sodas, and iced tea beverages, each balm features flavors that mimic the brand’s popular drinks.

For those seeking sun protection, Ausmetics has introduced a lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen that protects against UVA/UVB rays, blue light, and environmental pollutants. Using the brand’s oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) dual microencapsulation technology, UV filters are encased in silicone oil microcapsules for better penetration, formulation stability, and sustained effectiveness.
