Trends tend to creep in quietly, gain momentum, and then suddenly you’re seeing the same product everywhere. This year’s makeup landscape is already shifting: away from minimal sameness, toward colour, texture, and individuality. Think less “clean girl,” more creative chaos (the good kind).
If you want to be ahead of the curve rather than chasing it, these are the 10 Glisten products to watch for. Consider this your warning: you’ll want to grab these before they become impossible to ignore!
10. Speckled Pens (Faux Freckles)
Faux freckles aren’t going anywhere, if anything, they’re becoming more deliberate, more playful, more stylised. Speckled Pens make it effortless: light pressure for soft realism, heavier taps for editorial drama. Expect freckles paired with glossy skin, bare lashes, and bold lips all year long.
This is subtle rebellion at its best.
9. Spectra Lash (All Shades)
With the resurgence of 2016 energy on the horizon, bubbly, whimsical makeup is making a confident return. Coloured lashes are stepping back into the spotlight: bright, playful, and unapologetically fun.
Spectra Lash taps directly into that mood: nostalgia with better formulas and sharper pigment. Expect to see coloured lashes paired with minimal eyeshadow and glossy lips everywhere.
8. Chroma Flik
Plain black liner? Retired. This year is all about dimension, light, and movement - and Chroma Flik delivers exactly that. The duochrome finish turns even the simplest liner shape into something unexpected, catching the light with every blink.
It’s the easiest way to upgrade your everyday look into something editorial.
7. Juicy Tints (Lip Stain)
Juicy, sheer-but-pigmented lips are taking over, and a tint is the finishing touch to countless femme fatale looks this year. Soft, wearable, and endlessly layerable, Juicy Tints strike that perfect balance between effortlessness and impact.
Think bitten lips, glossy skin, and just enough drama.
6. Face Gems
Small product, huge payoff. Face gems are back, not just for festivals, but for everyday glamour moments. Under-eye clusters, inner-corner accents, even minimal gem placements for nights out: they’re playful, expressive, and surprisingly wearable.

5. Spectra Pencil Lip Liners
Defined lips are quietly reclaiming their place. Spectra Pencils are multiuse and perfect for shaping, contouring, and giving structure back to lip looks - especially paired with gloss or tint.
4. Wet Liner Pots
You truly can’t go wrong here. Wet Liner Pots remain a staple because they invite creativity without intimidation. Whether you’re experimenting with graphic shapes, negative space, or bold colour blocking, these liners make it accessible.
3. Bliss Palette
Pastel goth is everywhere right now, and the Bliss Palette hits that perfect balance of soft, dreamy shades with a darker edge. With mattes, duochromes, and multichromes in one place, it’s made for experimenting, and it’s definitely one of those palettes people are going to wish they bought before everyone else did!
2. Shape Shifter Highlight Palette
Yes, highlighter is officially back - and it’s glowing harder than ever. As 2016-inspired trends resurface, the desire for unapologetic shine is undeniable. Shape Shifter delivers versatility, intensity, and that instantly recognisable glow.
1. Spectra Base Foundations
At the top, exactly where it belongs. Spectra Base continues to dominate because it doesn’t limit creativity, it encourages it. More than a foundation, it’s a blank canvas designed for colour, expression, and experimentation.
In a year where individuality leads the trend cycle, Spectra Base sets the foundation (literally) for everything that follows.
This year isn’t about fitting into one aesthetic, it’s about choosing the tools that let you express yours. These products aren’t just trending; they’re shaping how makeup feels again: playful, bold, nostalgic, and deeply personal.
Get ahead of it now - because once everyone’s using them, the moment has already passed!
