The 2026 Glow: Why 'Solar' and 'Lunar' are Trending

As of April 2026, the beauty community in Brussels and Antwerp is buzzing over the latest release from Selena Gomez. The Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush has expanded its lineup with the highly anticipated Spring 2026 shades: 'Solar' (a warm, bronzed terracotta) and 'Lunar' (a cool-toned, ethereal lavender-pink). These shades are currently exclusive to US retailers like Sephora US and the official Rare Beauty webstore.

Beauty enthusiasts are flocking to these new additions because they combine the pigment of the original liquid blush with the radiant finish of a highlighter. While European retailers often wait months for these launches, staying updated on us trends allows you to get your hands on them the moment they drop. The 'Solar' shade in particular has become a viral sensation for its ability to mimic a sun-kissed glow without the heavy shimmer found in 2025 formulas.

Save €22 by Sourcing Directly from the US

The math behind importing beauty products often surprises shoppers in Belgium. In a local boutique, a single Rare Beauty blush can retail for upwards of €45 when factoring in the 'import premium' added by European distributors. However, by choosing to shop us store platforms directly, you can find these blushes for approximately $26 (roughly €24). Even when you account for international transit, purchasing a bundle of three shades can result in a total saving of €22 compared to waiting for a local release.

Before you commit, it is wise to use a shipping calculator to see exactly how much the journey from the US to your doorstep will cost. Often, consolidation of multiple beauty items—like the new 2026 lip oils and the 'Lunar' blush—makes the per-item shipping cost negligible.

The BuyForMe Solution for US Store Blocks

A common frustration for shoppers in Belgium is the dreaded 'Order Cancelled' email from major US retailers. Many popular stores, including Sephora, Nike, and Apple, have strict security protocols that often block international credit cards or refuse shipments to addresses associated with a package forwarding service. This can make acquiring the Spring 2026 shades nearly impossible for those outside the United States.

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes essential. Instead of risking a declined transaction, you can utilize comGateway’s assisted purchase program. We use a US domestic credit card to purchase the item on your behalf, ensuring the order is accepted by the retailer. This is the safest way to guarantee your 'Solar' and 'Lunar' blushes are secured before they sell out. By letting a professional handle the transaction, you avoid the headache of regional payment restrictions and ensure your spot in the 2026 beauty cycle.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Belgium Delivery

If you are new to international shopping, the process is simpler than it looks. Following a clear step-by-step guide ensures your package arrives safely in cities like Ghent or Liege. First, you get a tax-free us address, which allows you to avoid US sales tax at checkout—saving you an additional 7% to 10% right away.

Once your Rare Beauty order arrives at the warehouse, you can choose to forward packages immediately or hold them to combine with other US hauls. This flexibility is what makes a freight forwarder an invaluable tool for the modern global consumer. For those worried about the specific logistics of ship to Belgium, the transit times in 2026 have been optimized to take as little as 3-5 business days via express carriers.

Navigating Customs and VAT in Belgium

When you buy from US ship to Belgium, it is important to remember that all goods entering the EU are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT). In Belgium, the standard rate is 21%. While this is an added cost, the initial price difference of the US-exclusive Rare Beauty shades often still makes the purchase more economical than local options.

For more detailed information on duties or specific restricted items, the comGateway support team and FAQ section provide updated 2026 regulations for Belgian imports. Staying informed about these small details ensures there are no surprises when the courier arrives at your door with your new Spring 2026 glow.
