Hot Makeup Launches of 2026, No. 6: BOBBI BROWN Cool Brew Lavender Setting Powder & Long-Wear Soft-Matte Cushion Foundation

Cool Brew Lavender Setting Powder

Long-Wear Soft-Matte Cushion Foundation

For this year’s Mother’s Day promotion, BOBBI BROWN is launching two noteworthy new base products. One is the limited-edition Cool Brew Lavender Setting Powder, designed specifically for Asian skin tones. Its two-tone marbled design combines a cool lavender shade with white oil-control powder to correct sallowness, brighten the complexion, and blur pores and imperfections for a clearer, cool-toned soft-matte finish. The other, the Long-Wear Soft-Matte Cushion Foundation, has also drawn attention for its one-tap application and all-day wear. With powder-setting technology and a water- and sweat-resistant formula, it keeps base makeup clean, smooth, and less prone to dullness even in hot, humid conditions. One focuses on post-makeup brightening and setting, while the other prioritizes long wear and convenient touch-ups; both are base makeup launches to watch this spring and summer.

• Release information: Cool Brew Lavender Setting Powder, 10 g/NT$ 1,900, limited Mother’s Day release on April 1, 2026; Long-Wear Soft-Matte Cushion Foundation, 12 g/NT$ 2,400.

Hot Makeup Launches of 2026, No. 7: SUQQU Radiant UV Day Cream

SUQQU sunscreen cream offers SPF50+ and PA++++ high-level sun protection and has passed an 80 -minute water-resistance test, offering excellent sweat and water resistance for hot, humid summers. It combines three UV reflectors for strong protection and a smooth, comfortable feel; the brand’s exclusive UV reflector, “ADVAN,” refracts light like a mirror to give skin a natural glow. The day cream also forms an even film over the skin to lock in moisture over time and reduce the adhesion of pollen and dirt. It contains hyaluronic acid, collagen, tea leaf extract, and 7 other beauty ingredients, helping protect skin from dryness and dullness while providing protection, hydration, and radiance.

• Release information: Radiant UV sunscreen cream, 50 g/HK$ 750/NT$ 3,000, officially available April 22, 2026.

3CE Jelly Lip Glow #LittleJelly

The Korean “glass lips” trend is still going strong, and 3CE has introduced its new Jelly Lip Glow. Its lightweight, nonsticky, watery texture creates clear, jelly-like shine while moisturizing ingredients including squalane, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E provide care as you wear it, leaving lips soft and smooth. The collection comes in several shades for everyday and more distinctive makeup looks. The limited-edition “Soda Jelly” shade adds a sheer dimension with its subtle shimmer, reinterpreting naturally plump-looking lips.

Hot Makeup Launches of 2026, No. 9: BOBBI BROWN Diamond Glow Eyeshadow Stick

BOBBI BROWN Diamond Glow Eyeshadow Stick

BOBBI BROWN has introduced the new Diamond Glow Eyeshadow Stick, combining a highly moisturizing gel formula with red algae extract for eye makeup that offers shine and a skincare-like feel. Its smooth, cooling texture sets quickly and adheres closely to the skin, helping reduce creasing and fallout for a clean, luminous look that lasts. The collection includes shades formulated for Asian skin tones, ranging from a subtle shimmer to deeper luminosity. Moonstone, Pink Diamond, and Honey Brown are the key shades; worn alone or simply layered, they quickly build dimension for eye makeup that looks natural while still making an impression.
