Everything the Vogue Beauty & Wellness Honours 2026 winners reveal about the year’s biggest beauty trends
Blurring foundations definitely made a mark in 2026, across the jury, readers’ and editor’s picks. From Givenchy’s Prisme Libre Glow, which adds a glowing finish to the skin to Anastasia’s Second-Skin Matte Foundation and Charlotte Tilbury’s mainstay formula, which give the skin a perfected, airbrushed look, these formulas have one thing in common: they blur the appearance of lines and pores while sitting comfortably on the skin. The result is a smooth, second-skin finish without the heaviness of traditional full coverage foundations.
Skin-enhancing pigments are redefining blush
Flushed, youthful looking cheeks continue to have a moment, with the winning blushes favouring natural, skin-enhancing colour over anything overly opaque. Whether it was the By Terry Tea To Tan Powder Blush, which brings warmth and dimension to the complexion or the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick, which adapts to the skin’s pH for a personalised flush, the focus is on pigments that work themselves into the skin rather than sitting on top of it.
Mascara formulas are prioritising lash health
