Must-Have Holiday Gifts for the Makeup Maven (2)

By Desiree Johnson·Updated November 22, 2024

The holidays are charging at us quicker than ever this year, which means you want to be ahead and not behind in gift-giving. Makeup is always in season, whether you’re a makeup guru who has mastered the art of winged eyeliner or a novice still figuring out your favorite shades. What I love about the holidays is that tons of makeup brands package their best-selling products into custom holiday sets that make it easy to restock your favorite goodies or try something new. Makeup spans many categories, whether you love a bold lip, smokey eye, dewy skin, or a flushed cheek.

These holiday sets feature viral products that are hard to find and timeless essentials to help you build your makeup regimen.
