HERA Snow Waltz 2026: Icy Clara vs Midnight Ensemble in five steps
Two official HERA holiday looks, the #107/#007 glosses, palette shades and Korea–Japan launch dates, explained from primary sources.
Seoul-based makeup brand HERA announced its 2026 Snow Waltz (SNOW WALTZ INTO WONDER) holiday collection in Korea on October 26. The Korean brand campaign identifies two different looks: Icy Clara uses brighter ivory and mauve eye colors with gloss #107 Clara, while Midnight Ensemble features navy/blue eye shades with gloss #007 Étoile. The original YouTube Short linked directly from HERA's official campaign page is a brand film, not an independently verified swatch test or a complete tutorial. This guide explains the exact combinations and adapts them for beginners without requiring an extra purchase, while distinguishing the Korean and Japanese launch calendars.

01
Choose between the two brand look concepts
HERA labels #1 Icy Clara and #2 Midnight Ensemble as separate looks. One is softer with ivory/mauve and Clara gloss; the other emphasizes navy/blue with Étoile gloss. These are brand-created options, not universal Korean beauty standards. The original campaign Short shows the collection's visual mood.

02
Check cushion cases separately from refills
HERA says its limited Snow Waltz cushion **case** fits the Black Cushion and Reflection Skin Glow Cushion foundation refills specified by the brand. The case by itself does not contain foundation or have its own SPF protection. Confirm refill compatibility, shade and what is included in your region; apply separate daytime sunscreen as needed.

03
Use the official numbered eye colors as references
For Icy Clara, HERA lists Midnight Ensemble palette shades #6 Soft Ivory, #7 Sugar Plum and #9 Nutcracker for eyes. For Midnight Ensemble, it lists #1 Midnight Navy, #2 Frozen Blue and #3 Eternal Glow. Beginners can optionally begin with a little of one or two eye-safe colors and build carefully. This gentle application suggestion is editorial, not a claim that the brand Short demonstrates those steps.

04
Match cheeks and lips, without promising identical results
The official Icy Clara combination includes palette #10 Flushed for cheeks and Sensual Nude Gloss #107 Clara for lips. Midnight Ensemble pairs Reflection Liquid Blush #00 Milky Fizz with Sensual Nude Gloss #007 Étoile. HERA's Korean gloss page advises applying from the center of the lips outward with the included applicator. The brand describes #007 as a blue-shimmer glitter plumper, so those sensitive to lip-plumping products should take care.

05
Separate Korean and Japanese release dates
Amorepacific's Korea release dated October 26 says Kakao prelaunch began that day, with wider Naver/department-store distribution from November 2. The Japan subsidiary's September 25 release states selected Japan presales on October 23 and nationwide launch planned for October 30. As of October 29, the Japanese nationwide date is **tomorrow**. Limited availability and country-specific products, pricing and stock still need checking.

✦ Helpful tips
- The official color scheme can inspire your own makeup using products you already own; the limited collection is optional.
- The October 30 Japan date and November 2 Korea rollout are announced plans, not guarantees of stock in any particular store.
ⓘ Keep in mind
- Use only eye-approved shades near eyes, and keep loose sparkle out of the eye.
- Stop use if irritation or swelling appears; plumping lip products may be uncomfortable on cracked or sensitive lips.
- A decorative cushion case or gloss does not replace sunscreen.
