We have a lot to catch up on. Between a Harry Styles comeback, Heated Rivalry fever and one of (if not the) biggest brand announcements in MECCA history, 2026 is already proving to be fast-paced, fruitful and full of exciting beauty newness. No time to waste – here's the inside scoop on what to shop first.
Scents With Chemistry
I’ll be gifting my diamond of the season – my younger sister, Adele – the new Floral Street x Bridgerton fragrance, Enchanted Masquerade EDP. She loves a Regency-era romance almost as much as a sweet, floral scent, making this blend of juicy pear, soft rose and fresh gardenia the perfect pick.
For the other soulmates (platonic or otherwise) in my life, I’m choosing the DIPTYQUE Valentine’s Day candle, always! Each February, the French fragrance house comes out with a scent in bespoke packaging, and this year’s limited-edition Roses Candle does not disappoint. As for me? I’m taking home the new Kérastase Gloss Absolu Le Parfum Hair Perfume (available later this month) – it smells like citrus, sandalwood and a flower garden in full bloom.
2016 Makeup Renaissance
For brows, the MECCA MAX Brow Guru Cutting Edge Brow Pencil has a precise blade-shaped tip, helping to create a sharp finish with ease. To really take it back to 2016, carve out those brows with concealer – more specifically, Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer. It’s a full-coverage, practically pore-erasing formula that will leave your skin looking like it did a decade ago.
You didn’t think I’d forgotten about contour and highlight, did you? Next dinner date, I’m making like a Kardashian and snatching my face with a combination of Westman Atelier’s Face Trace Contour Stick (now with five new shades) and Too Faced’s Super Glow Multi-Use Complexion Enhancer. Buildable and buttery, the contour creates a sculpted effect without ever looking overdone, while the complexion enhancer adds effortless all-over luminosity. Finish with a generous dusting of MECCA COSMETICA’s limited-edition In A Good Light Illuminating Palette, and a velvet choker for good measure.
A Summer Skincare Philosophy
And what about a certain celebrity backed, skin-first, peptide packed brand? We haven't forgotten, but good things come to those who glaze and you will have to wait a little bit longer to find out all the details. rhode is launching at MECCA Flagships and at MECCA.com on 12 February, so start your countdown now.
