Getting the new Rare Beauty 2026 shades to France with a freight forwarder is actually quite easy

Why the Rare Beauty 2026 shades are everywhere

It is currently April 2026, and the beauty community is losing it over Selena Gomez’s latest release. The Rare Beauty 'Soft Pinch' Luminous Powder Blush has just dropped three new 'Glow' shades that are designed to give a glass-skin finish without the need for a separate highlighter. While the original line was already a staple in many French makeup bags, these 2026 iterations feature a new micro-milled formula that stays vibrant for 12 hours.

The catch is that these specific shades are currently locked to Sephora US and the official Rare Beauty US website. For those of us living in France, waiting for a local release usually takes months. This has led to a surge in beauty enthusiasts looking for a reliable freight forwarder to bridge the gap between New York and Paris.

The Sephora US exclusive problem

Buying directly from US retailers is usually the first instinct. However, many shoppers quickly realize that US Sephora does not offer direct international shipping to France for these high-demand exclusives. Even when they do, the costs can be prohibitive and the delivery times are often vague. This is why using comGateway has become the standard method for those who want their products as soon as they trend on social media.

How to ship your haul to France

The process is straightforward. When you sign up, you receive a tax-free US address located in Oregon. This is a huge benefit because US sales tax can add an extra 7% to 10% to your order total at checkout. By using a tax-free warehouse, you only pay the price of the blush itself.

Once your package arrives at the warehouse, you can choose your preferred carrier. Whether you prefer DHL international shipping for speed or FedEx international shipping for reliability, you have full control over the transit method to your doorstep in France.

The reality of US store card blocks and the BuyForMe solution

A common hurdle many French shoppers face is the dreaded order cancellation. Big US retailers like Sephora, Nike, and Apple often have strict security filters that block international credit cards or flag orders sent to known shipping hubs. You might try to shop US store sites only to find your transaction declined despite having the funds.

This is where proxy shopping becomes a lifesaver. The BuyForMe service (also known as assisted purchase) is designed specifically for these difficult stores. Instead of using your own card, you tell comGateway what you want to buy. They use a US-based domestic credit card to purchase the items on your behalf. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by the retailer's automated systems. If you are worried about the technicalities, you can always check their FAQ for more details on how the process works.

Estimating your total delivery cost

Before you hit the buy button, it is a good idea to know what you will be paying. Small items like a blush are lightweight, which makes them perfect for package forwarding. However, if you are planning to stock up on the entire 2026 collection, the weight can add up. You can use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before the items even reach the warehouse. This ensures there are no surprises when it comes time to ship your items to France.

Handling French import tax and duties

When importing goods into France from outside the EU, you need to consider import tax and VAT. For cosmetics, the rates are generally predictable, but it is better to be prepared. Since 2021, all commercial goods entering the EU are subject to VAT regardless of value. You might also like to check our guide on import duties to see how these fees are calculated for French residents. Being aware of the local customs regulations ensures that your Rare Beauty haul clears the border without any unnecessary delays.

By following this lazy method—using a proxy service to handle the purchase and a forwarder to handle the logistics—you can be among the first in France to own the 2026 'Glow' shades without the stress of manual paperwork or cancelled orders.
