Lipstick Rankings See Major Shift: F/W 2026 K-Beauty Trends Revealed
Get ready, K-Beauty lovers! The lip makeup trends for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2026 season are already undergoing a major transformation. As of today, August 12th, leading beauty platforms like Hwahae and Glowpick have unveiled their latest lipstick rankings, clearly showing a strong, polarized trend towards both velvet and glow lipsticks.
On Hwahae's rankings, the 'Velvet Lip Pencil Special Set [No. 2 Peach Beige]' claimed the top spot, priced at 16,500 KRW. Over on Glowpick, products like Canmake's 'Muchipuru Tint', MAC's 'Powder Kiss Lipstick', and Wakemake's 'Healthy Glow Balm Stick' secured high positions. Chanel's 'Rouge Coco' line also garnered significant attention, highlighting the strong performance of both premium and mass-market brands in the current landscape.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hwahae | 1st | Velvet Lip Pencil Special Set [No. 2 Peach Beige] | Velvet texture, Peach Beige | 16,500 |
| Glowpick | 1st | Canmake Muchipuru Tint | Moisturizing tint | - |
| Glowpick | 2nd | MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick | Powdery matte | - |
| Glowpick | 3rd | Wakemake Healthy Glow Balm Stick | Glow balm texture | - |
These latest rankings clearly highlight the polarized lip makeup trends for this coming Fall/Winter season. Textures like Velvet and Powdery Matte, known for their smooth, close-fitting application on the lips, continue to show strong performance. At the same time, Glow lipsticks, which emphasize bold radiance and rich hydration—like Chanel's 'Rouge Coco Flash'—are also receiving significant attention. Chanel, through its official channels, highlights its 'radiant oil blend and moisturizing formula,' emphasizing comfortable wear. This trend can be interpreted as a direct reflection of consumers' desire to maintain moisture and express vibrant colors, even during the drier seasons.
For the upcoming F/W season, it looks like choosing a lip texture that perfectly matches your skin tone and personal style—whether it's the subtle elegance of velvet or the lively glow—will be key. We anticipate that beauty brands will further accelerate their development of lipsticks in a wider array of colors and textures, all aimed at satisfying these increasingly polarized consumer preferences.
