Why the 2026 Rare Beauty shades are trending
It is March 2026, and the beauty community is currently fixated on the new shade expansions for the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush. While the hybrid formula has been around for a while, these new 2026 releases are currently US-exclusives. For those of us in Belgium, waiting for the local Sephora restock can take months, and by then, the most popular shades are usually sold out. Getting that specific 'Selena Glow' requires a bit of a workaround.

The blueprint for US-to-Belgium shopping
The foundation of this shopping plan involves securing a tax-free US address. Most US retailers, including the Rare Beauty official store and US Sephora, require a local address for delivery. This is where using a freight forwarder like comGateway becomes the primary tool in your blueprint.
The process is straightforward. First, you shop US store sites using your provided warehouse address. If the store refuses your Belgian credit card, you can use a buy for me service, often referred to as proxy shopping, where the provider handles the purchase on your behalf. Once the blush arrives at the warehouse, you can arrange for Belgium delivery.

Shipping Estimates: Weight and Dimensions
When planning your shipment, knowing the physical specs of the item helps you estimate shipping cost accurately. Here is a breakdown of what to expect when shipping a single unit of the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush:
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.35 kg (0.7 lbs) including protective bubble mailer. |
| Box Dimensions | Small package (approx. 15cm x 15cm x 10cm). |
| Volumetric Warning | Low risk. This item is compact and dense; the actual weight will almost always be used rather than volumetric weight. |
| Battery Check | No batteries. This is a powder cosmetic product and does not fall under lithium battery restrictions. |
Because the item is so light, it is often smarter to bundle it with other US beauty finds to maximize the base cost of international shipping. You can use the shipping calculator to see how adding a few more items might only marginally increase your total price.
Handling import tax and logistics
Shipping to Belgium involves navigating European customs. Since the UK is no longer in the EU, sourcing from the US is a very common alternative for Belgian shoppers. You should be prepared for the import tax, which in Belgium includes the standard 21% VAT on the total value of the goods and shipping. For a deeper look at how these fees are calculated, visit our section on customs tax.

Helpful resources and FAQ
If this is your first time using a freight forwarder, you probably have questions about consolidation or insurance. The FAQ page is a great place to start for technical support. Most users find that using DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping via a consolidated hub provides the best balance of speed and security for fragile items like pressed powders.
When you buy from US ship to Belgium, the transit time usually ranges from 3 to 7 business days once the item leaves the US warehouse. It is a reliable way to ensure your makeup collection stays current with the 2026 trends without having to wait for local distributors to catch up.
