\"HairstylistA new year is here, and as a beauty editor, I’m naturally curious as to what beauty trends 2026 will bring. As a beauty journalist with over a decade of experience studying hair <\/a> and skincare<\/a>, meticulously spotting emerging makeup <\/a>and nails<\/a>, whilst having a nose for upcoming fragrance fads<\/a>, I can safely say that 2026 is bringing plenty of exciting beauty trends to get excited about.<\/p>\n

Working at Who What Wear UK means I get to see exclusive previews of launches, try the best new beauty products<\/a> and have access to the leading experts across the beauty industry. All this to say, I can spot upcoming trends from a mile away. We can expect to see more advancements in skincare and aesthetics, a shift to soft-focus lip liner<\/a>, and our shiniest, glossiest manicures<\/a> yet. As for fragrance, we’re seeing a continuation of minimalist scents, and for hair, you can expect to have a lot more fun, with some exceptionally chic hair accessories this year.<\/p>\n

Ahead, I’ve consolidated the emerging beauty trends that will be everywhere in 2026. From hairstyles to skincare ingredients, aesthetics to makeup and fragrance, and the beauty trends making a comeback<\/a>, these are the defining beauty trends you can expect to see a lot more of during 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
