Following our Paris debut last year, MakeUp in Paris 2026 marked another exciting opportunity to connect with European and UK audiences, share our newest packaging developments and highlight the formats shaping what comes next in beauty. ✨Level Up: Next-gen beauty packaging Our “Level Up” concept continued to evolve at MakeUp in Paris, showcasing how beauty packaging is moving into its next generation where functionality meets sustainability, accessibility, and emotional engagement. This year, our display focused on packaging that is: Sustainable — simplified materials, mono-material solutions, and scalable innovation Accessible — intuitive formats, ergonomic shapes, and inclusive usability Experiential — tactile finishes, playful forms, and designs that invite interaction Rather than simply presenting products, the collection demonstrated how packaging can perform across every touchpoint, on shelf, in hand, and on screen. The result is packaging that not only functions effectively but enhances the overall beauty experience and connects more meaningfully with today’s consumer. Key Packaging Trends from MUPA 2026 🧴Sensory Application: Beauty You Can Feel Innovative applicators, playful shapes, and tactile caps and closures  continue to transform daily routines into more sensory beauty experiences. At MakeUp in Paris, our Jelly Applicator Collection brought this trend to life across sticks and duo-end wands. Designed with smooth silicone tips, these applicators deliver a pillowy, gel-soft feel that makes application feel soothing, satisfying and easy to control. From lip and cheek to face and hybrid beauty formulas, jelly applicators add a new layer of interaction to packaging, helping brands create products that feel as good as they look. 🫧Controlled Dispensing: Precision Meets Ease of Use As skincare, hybrid beauty and on-the-go formats continue to grow, dispensing systems are becoming a key part of the user experience. Our Push Button Droppers, Slow-Release Sprayers and Powder Spray Tubes demonstrate how controlled dispensing can make beauty packaging feel more intuitive and elevated. The push button dropper supports clean, precise and mess-free application for serums, oils, boosters and targeted treatments, while the slow-release sprayer creates a softer, more gradual misting experience for hair, body and skincare products. Our Powder Spray Tube also offers a practical solution for powder dry shampoo and other spray product formats. Designed for convenient one-handed use, the tube is held upright and gently pressed to dispense. These formats show how functional details can improve everyday use while giving brands a more premium and memorable application story. 🎀Playful Portability: Made to Carry, Share, and Show-off Beauty packaging is becoming more portable, collectible and emotionally engaging, with formats designed to fit naturally into bags, routines and social moments. Our heart-shaped formats and keychain-ready packs reflect this shift, turning packaging into something consumers can carry, show and repurchase. These playful formats are ideal for mini routines, on-the-go touch-ups, gifting and limited editions, helping brands create products that feel fun, intentional and made to be shared. 🌍Sustainability & Foldable Formats As PPWR continues to shape packaging decisions in Europe, brands are looking for formats that support recyclability, material efficiency and easier end-of-life handling, without losing the sensory appeal consumers respond to. Our Collapsible Bottle brings this thinking into a distinctive foldable format, designed to scrunch down as product is used. This supports better product use-up and helps reduce empty-pack bulk, while creating a tactile squeeze experience that feels satisfying in the hand. For brands, it offers a more visible and engaging sustainability story: a pack that feels different, functions intuitively and supports the move towards more practical, future-ready packaging across body care, hair care, personal care and refill-style concepts. What’s Next? MakeUp in Paris 2026 showed how closely beauty packaging innovation is now linked to future packaging requirements. Brands are not only looking for packs that create stronger first impressions and better application experiences, but also formats that support clearer sustainability claims, simplified material choices and PPWR-ready product development. For ICONS Beauty Group, this means continuing to develop packaging that helps brands balance personality, performance and practicality with more future-focused sustainability solutions, from jelly applicators and controlled dispensing systems to collapsible bottles, keychain formats and mono-material spray solutions.

ICONS Beauty Group returned to MakeUp in Paris 2026, held at the iconic Carrousel du Louvre, to showcase our latest sustainable beauty packaging innovations.

Following our Paris debut last year, MakeUp in Paris 2026 marked another exciting opportunity to connect with European and UK audiences, share our newest packaging developments and highlight the formats shaping what comes next in beauty.

✨Level Up: Next-gen beauty packaging

Our “Level Up” concept continued to evolve at MakeUp in Paris, showcasing how beauty packaging is moving into its next generation where functionality meets sustainability, accessibility, and emotional engagement.

This year, our display focused on packaging that is:

  • Sustainable — simplified materials, mono-material solutions, and scalable innovation
  • Accessible — intuitive formats, ergonomic shapes, and inclusive usability
  • Experiential — tactile finishes, playful forms, and designs that invite interaction

Rather than simply presenting products, the collection demonstrated how packaging can perform across every touchpoint, on shelf, in hand, and on screen.

The result is packaging that not only functions effectively but enhances the overall beauty experience and connects more meaningfully with today’s consumer.

Key Packaging Trends from MUPA 2026

🧴Sensory Application: Beauty You Can Feel

Innovative applicators, playful shapes, and tactile caps and closures  continue to transform daily routines into more sensory beauty experiences.

At MakeUp in Paris, our Jelly Applicator Collection brought this trend to life across sticks and duo-end wands. Designed with smooth silicone tips, these applicators deliver a pillowy, gel-soft feel that makes application feel soothing, satisfying and easy to control.

From lip and cheek to face and hybrid beauty formulas, jelly applicators add a new layer of interaction to packaging, helping brands create products that feel as good as they look.

🫧Controlled Dispensing: Precision Meets Ease of Use

As skincare, hybrid beauty and on-the-go formats continue to grow, dispensing systems are becoming a key part of the user experience.

Our Push Button Droppers, Slow-Release Sprayers and Powder Spray Tubes demonstrate how controlled dispensing can make beauty packaging feel more intuitive and elevated.

The push button dropper supports clean, precise and mess-free application for serums, oils, boosters and targeted treatments, while the slow-release sprayer creates a softer, more gradual misting experience for hair, body and skincare products. Our Powder Spray Tube also offers a practical solution for powder dry shampoo and other spray product formats. Designed for convenient one-handed use, the tube is held upright and gently pressed to dispense.

These formats show how functional details can improve everyday use while giving brands a more premium and memorable application story.

🎀Playful Portability: Made to Carry, Share, and Show-off

Beauty packaging is becoming more portable, collectible and emotionally engaging, with formats designed to fit naturally into bags, routines and social moments.

Our heart-shaped formats and keychain-ready packs reflect this shift, turning packaging into something consumers can carry, show and repurchase.

These playful formats are ideal for mini routines, on-the-go touch-ups, gifting and limited editions, helping brands create products that feel fun, intentional and made to be shared.

🌍Sustainability & Foldable Formats

As PPWR continues to shape packaging decisions in Europe, brands are looking for formats that support recyclability, material efficiency and easier end-of-life handling, without losing the sensory appeal consumers respond to.

Our Collapsible Bottle brings this thinking into a distinctive foldable format, designed to scrunch down as product is used. This supports better product use-up and helps reduce empty-pack bulk, while creating a tactile squeeze experience that feels satisfying in the hand.

For brands, it offers a more visible and engaging sustainability story: a pack that feels different, functions intuitively and supports the move towards more practical, future-ready packaging across body care, hair care, personal care and refill-style concepts.

What’s Next?

MakeUp in Paris 2026 showed how closely beauty packaging innovation is now linked to future packaging requirements. Brands are not only looking for packs that create stronger first impressions and better application experiences, but also formats that support clearer sustainability claims, simplified material choices and PPWR-ready product development.

For ICONS Beauty Group, this means continuing to develop packaging that helps brands balance personality, performance and practicality with more future-focused sustainability solutions, from jelly applicators and controlled dispensing systems to collapsible bottles, keychain formats and mono-material spray solutions.

Featuring five of our innovative products, including our ICONS Ilia Sunshift Cream Bronzer, IML tubes, in-mold pattern lipsticks, the “Multini” tottle family, and our slow release sprayer in their ‘Packaging Design & Deco Inspo For Beauty & Personal Care‘ article! Custom Design Meets Sustainable Engineering This past year, ICONS partnered with ILIA to custom design the ILIA Sunshift Cream Bronzer and Lightshift Cream Highlighter compacts.  The compacts were designed with a matte finish and a debossed logo for a luxurious, tactile feel. This pioneering compact design set a new standard for sustainable, premium-quality circular cosmetics packaging. 100% mono-material PP, including the hinge and pin.   Twist and pop off the cap, and you have a standalone, travel-friendly mirror.  The base and outer cover are made of in-mold matte, eliminating the need for additional secondary processes which compromise recyclability. These ILIA compacts are already a hit with eco-conscious consumers and showcase the sustainable design and engineering expertise of ICONS.  Sensory Packaging: Beauty You Can Feel In the article, Sue Nichols also discusses how sensory design is reshaping the way consumers choose and interact with beauty packaging. “Packaging isn’t just a container, it’s an experience. High sensory packaging invites consumers to touch, engage and remember products,” says Sue Nichols, ICONS Group CEO. From multi-textured finishes and custom embossed or debossed designs to playful shapes and textured applicators, sensory packaging helps brands create products that are not just noticed, but chosen. IML Tubes: Design Without Limits The feature also highlights ICONS America’s In-Mold Label tubes, which provide brands with a powerful canvas for full-sleeve decoration from shoulder to crimp. With ICONS America’s IML technology, brands can combine matte, gloss and metallic finishes with hot stamp, cold stamp, flexography or digital print, all within one artwork label and with no overlap at the seam. Beyond decoration, ICONS America’s mono-material PP IML tubes are Made in USA at our North Carolina facility, fully recyclable, available with PCR and designed to support faster lead times and a lower carbon footprint for American brands. Mini but Mighty: The Multini Collection As demand for travel-size beauty continues to grow, the article highlights ICONS America’s Multini collection, a versatile mini packaging range with 16 applicator options and three size and shape options: 7.5ml with round cap, 9.5ml with marquise-shaped cap and 15ml with rectangular cap. Designed for lip, eye, face and skincare formulations, the Multini range combines soft, squeezable PE tottles with a velvety matte finish for a more touchable, sensorial experience. PE tottles and PP caps are also available with PCR. Swipe-On Formats with Reusable Components Stick and panstick formats are also featured as consumers continue to look for products that are quick, portable and easy to apply anytime, anywhere. ICONS America’s duo-end PET panstick features a removable, washable and reusable brush or sponge with a sleek flush-fit design, supporting demand for multipurpose beauty and reusable components. Slow-Release Sprayer: Effortless Mist, Perfect Finish The feature also spotlights ICONS America’s Slow-Release Sprayer, designed for hair care, body care and fragrance-adjacent formulations. With one single press, the sprayer dispenses a fine, gentle mist with a slow-release, sustained flow. Featuring a 0.65cc slow-dispense dosage and 24/410 neck size, it pairs with a variety of bottle shapes and sizes, making it a versatile packaging choice for a wide range of formulations. From high-touch IML decoration and mono-material compacts to mini tottles, reusable pansticks and slow-release sprayers, ICONS America continues to develop packaging that supports how beauty brands are launching today: more sensory, more functional and more connected to the way consumers use products every day.

“Packaging isn’t just a container, it’s an experience. High sensory packaging invites consumers to touch, engage and remember products,” says Sue Nichols, ICONS Group CEO.

From multi-textured finishes and custom embossed or debossed designs to playful shapes and textured applicators, sensory packaging helps brands create products that are not just noticed, but chosen.

IML Tubes: Design Without Limits

The feature also highlights ICONS America’s In-Mold Label tubes, which provide brands with a powerful canvas for full-sleeve decoration from shoulder to crimp.

With ICONS America’s IML technology, brands can combine matte, gloss and metallic finishes with hot stamp, cold stamp, flexography or digital print, all within one artwork label and with no overlap at the seam.

Beyond decoration, ICONS America’s mono-material PP IML tubes are Made in USA at our North Carolina facility, fully recyclable, available with PCR and designed to support faster lead times and a lower carbon footprint for American brands.

Mini but Mighty: The Multini Collection

As demand for travel-size beauty continues to grow, the article highlights ICONS America’s Multini collection, a versatile mini packaging range with 16 applicator options and three size and shape options: 7.5ml with round cap, 9.5ml with marquise-shaped cap and 15ml with rectangular cap.

Designed for lip, eye, face and skincare formulations, the Multini range combines soft, squeezable PE tottles with a velvety matte finish for a more touchable, sensorial experience. PE tottles and PP caps are also available with PCR.

Swipe-On Formats with Reusable Components

Stick and panstick formats are also featured as consumers continue to look for products that are quick, portable and easy to apply anytime, anywhere.

ICONS America’s duo-end PET panstick features a removable, washable and reusable brush or sponge with a sleek flush-fit design, supporting demand for multipurpose beauty and reusable components.

Slow-Release Sprayer: Effortless Mist, Perfect Finish

The feature also spotlights ICONS America’s Slow-Release Sprayer, designed for hair care, body care and fragrance-adjacent formulations.

With one single press, the sprayer dispenses a fine, gentle mist with a slow-release, sustained flow. Featuring a 0.65cc slow-dispense dosage and 24/410 neck size, it pairs with a variety of bottle shapes and sizes, making it a versatile packaging choice for a wide range of formulations.

From high-touch IML decoration and mono-material compacts to mini tottles, reusable pansticks and slow-release sprayers, ICONS America continues to develop packaging that supports how beauty brands are launching today: more sensory, more functional and more connected to the way consumers use products every day.
