From skincare icons dressed in art-inspired packaging to lipsticks reimagined as modern lucky charms, brands are ushering in the new year with launches that promise good skin, good luck, and very solid gifting points.
Whether you’re shopping for someone else or fully enabling your own “new year, better skin” agenda, these Lunar New Year 2026 beauty launches are worth a spot on your wishlist.
Dior Lucky Rouge Lipstick Collection
For Lunar New Year 2026, Dior turns one of its most iconic makeup staples into a symbol of luck, destiny, and couture craftsmanship. The Lucky Rouge Lipstick Collection reimagines Rouge Dior through the lens of Monsieur Dior’s personal talismans, transforming each lipstick into something worth collecting (and wearing).
Designed as precious good-luck charms, the limited-edition cases and lipstick bullets are adorned with four symbols close to Dior’s heart: the clover, heart, star, and number 8.
Under the direction of Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, the collection focuses on what Dior does best – perfectly balanced reds that flatter across undertones, all finished with that signature velvety Rouge Dior texture.
The lineup features four auspicious shades, each tied to a different symbol and sentiment:
- 808 Red Dream (S$73): A vibrant bluish red decorated with the lucky star – said to guide dreams and aspirations.
- 802 Red Passion (S$73): A warm brick red paired with a heart, symbolising bold love and fearless self-expression.
- 806 Red Luck (S$73): A deep red with brown undertones, adorned with a four-leaf clover for confidence and fortune.
- 809 Red Forever (S$73): An intense, timeless red inspired by Dior’s iconic New Look silhouette, marked with the number 8, a symbol of infinity and exceptional destiny.
Dior Lucky Rouge Lipstick Collection is available now at Dior Singapore.
Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum Lunar New Year Edition
Sulwhasoo marks Lunar New Year 2026 with a limited-edition design of its iconic First Care Activating Serum, inspired by an ancient Korean artefact depicting a heavenly horse.
As Sulwhasoo’s signature first-step serum, FCAS helps strengthen the skin barrier, relieve dryness from within, and improve the look of dullness and puffiness, revealing healthier, more radiant skin. First launched in 1997, it remains one of the brand’s most beloved skincare staples.
The new design features a white horse galloping across the sky, with flame-like details symbolising forward momentum. A blue star represents hope, while the plum blossom motif nods to Sulwhasoo’s brand heritage, carrying a quiet message of renewal for the year ahead.

For Lunar New Year 2026, Lancôme celebrates the Year of the Horse with a collection that bridges East and West through art and beauty. Inspired by Run Off The Ground, a renowned horse painting by Chinese master artist Xu Beihong, the limited-edition designs symbolise freedom, vitality, and forward momentum for the year ahead.
Created in exclusive collaboration with the Xu Beihong Art Foundation, the artwork is reinterpreted with Lancôme’s signature pink tones, uniting French elegance with Chinese cultural heritage in a design that feels both festive and refined.
Two of Lancôme’s most iconic skincare heroes take centre stage:

Clé de Peau Beauté Lunar New Year Collection
For Lunar New Year 2026, Clé de Peau Beauté blends art, symbolism, and skincare icons into a collectible-worthy lineup. This year’s designs draw inspiration from acrylic woodblock printing and the cultural symbolism of circles, reimagined through a contemporary lens.
Created in collaboration with artist Jiang Miao, the collection features a modern interpretation of the Chinese zodiac Horse, framed by the Dang Lu – a traditional horse forehead plate symbolising nobility and elegance. The result? Packaging that feels festive yet unmistakably Clé de Peau.
Inside, you’ll find two of the brand’s most coveted skincare heroes:
- The Serum (S$390): A first-step serum that supports skin renewal, boosting radiance, smoothness, and plumpness with continued use.
- La Crème (S$1,250): An ultra-luxurious night cream formulated to enhance skin’s self-regenerative potential, so you wake up to skin that feels firmer, smoother, and deeply revitalised.
A beautiful (and very indulgent) way to usher in the new year, whether you’re gifting or treating yourself.
