Carnival remains one of children's favorite moments. We dress up, we play, we transform ourselves for a day. In 2026, children's carnival trends confirm an evolution: costumes are simpler, more creative and more customizable. Parents and children are exploring a wide variety of costumes, and often expect make-up, as much as accessories, to complete and personalize the disguise. Playful, expressive and easy to adapt, it allows children to make their character their own while having fun. Let's get ready for the Carnaval 2026 trend show!<\/p>\n<\/div>

#1 - New animal darlings<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

In 2026, nature remains a major source of inspiration for Carnival. Animals continue to captivate children - especially the very young. Wolves, tigers, unicorns and dragons have long been part of children's imaginations, escaping from fairy tales to populate nurseries and playgrounds. This year, however, other species may well steal the show. With the success of the film Zootopie 2 in theaters, foxes, rabbits, gazelles and, why not, lazy monkeys are in for a treat!<\/p>\n<\/div>

#2 - Heroes are always popular<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Of course, this trend is more than classic! Every good carnival has its share of heroes, with their superpowers and the values they convey. Even years after their first appearance, Harry Potter, the Snow Queen and their friends continue to make children dream. And yet, the competition is fierce: disguises and make-up are surfing on the series. For teenagers, there's no escaping the Kpop Demon Hunters! Even Namaki has succumbed to the phenomenon, and recently posted a demo on Instagram for making a make-up Kpop Demon Hunters<\/a>... Another TV phenomenon: L'\u00c9cole des Licornes. From Wildstar's rainbow mane to Sophia and her friends' catwalk-worthy outfits, it's all part of a colorful carnival. Use the fine metal pencils<\/a> to draw magic symbols on the arms of the unicorn children. Color a few of the riders' locks with the hair mascaras<\/a>. Finally, sprinkle a little Glitter powder<\/a> to create a bond and dream of magical adventures!<\/p>\n<\/div>

\ud83d\udca1If your child's favorite hero doesn't require heavy makeup, you can put makeup on his or her eyes<\/a> and its mouth<\/a> with products adapted to her delicate skin. You can also create pretty little drawings<\/a> on her face to match her character. After all, it's Carnival!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

#3 - From cartoon heroes to everyday heroes<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

As we've just seen, children still love to get under their parents' skin. superheroes<\/a> preferred. What do construction experts, firefighters, policemen, lifeguards and recycling experts have in common? Yes, that's right, they're all part of a super-team of puppies always ready to come to the aid of the inhabitants of their town. They're also characters known for their professions, not their superpowers (with the exception, for puppies, of knowing how to talk and drive!). For Carnival 2026, these everyday heroes should also take center stage. Graphic masks, colorful lightning bolts or badges drawn on the cheeks or arms are enough to bring the character to life. Make-up is the perfect replacement for masks:<\/p>\n
