A Fashion Editor’s 21 Sephora Buys for Fall 2026 — What’s in Her Cart and Why

# Overview This list collects the 21 Sephora items a Who What Wear fashion editor is buying for fall 2026. She approaches beauty with a fashion editor's eye: packaging matters, formulas must perform, and products should fit into a real daily routine. The round-up spans complexion, color, skincare actives, hair tools, and fragrance discovery sets.

# Makeup highlights

• Westman Atelier Suprême Bio-Complex Liquid Foundation: described as lightweight with good wear throughout the day. The editor is picky about foundation and says this met her expectations.
• YSL Beauty Make Me Blush Longwear Natural Glow Cream Blush: praised for packaging, dewy finish, pigment, and staying power.
• Prada Touch Cream-to-Powder Soft Blur Longwear Blush in Wisteria Lilac: noted for a lavender shade that blends well and lasts.
• VIOLETTE_FR Bisou Balm Sheer Matte Lipstick in Chocolat: recommended as a cool brown good for fall.
• KJH.brand Microscara Volumizing & Lengthening Tubing Mascara: a tiny wand intended to coat every lash.

• YSL Beauty Brewed Reflections Couture Face Palette: a blush and highlighter palette that's selling out in two shades.

# Skincare and serums

• Drunk Elephant Kamo Triple-Peptide Multi-Use Serum Foundation: a serum foundation with more coverage than most and less shine than expected.

• SOFIE PAVITT FACE Studio-Smooth Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Scrub Treatment: named for being gentle yet powerful.
• EADEM Le Chouchou Softening + Smoothing Peptide Daily Lip Balm in Coquito Dulce: recommended for a shimmery rosy mauve shade.

# Tools, hair, and extras

• m.ph by Mary Phillips The Perfect Blending Touch Up Brush: a small brush used for quick morning touch-ups after workouts or long days.
• Mane It's Giving Body Medium Hot Thermal Round Brush: simplifies at-home blowouts and produced salon-like results for the editor.

# Sets, samplers, and collaborations

• MERIT X Erdem Eye and Cheek Gift Set: praised for packaging and shades, with two limited-edition colors.
• LORE Discovery Set: recommended for sampling Lore's fragrances.

# Why these picks matter for fall shopping The edit combines practical choices (foundations, longwear blushes, mascaras) with seasonal playfulness (lavender blush, cool-brown lipstick, limited-edition sets). Several picks are chosen because they simplify routine: easy-to-use eyeshadow, a touch-up brush for long days, and a round styling brush that delivers quick results.

# Quick buying cues

• If you want lightweight, all-day foundation: consider Westman Atelier or the Drunk Elephant serum foundation.
• If you prefer cream blush that lasts: test YSL Make Me Blush and Prada's new cream-to-powder option.
• For skincare with peptide actives: look at Medik8 Liquid Peptides and Dieux Hydroretinal serum.
• For easy hair results at home: try Mane's thermal round brush.
