Best Makeup Gift Sets Of 2024

I love shopping for makeup, skincare, and haircare products during the holidays. Beauty brands pull out all the stops to introduce new products and limited time offers. You can always count on specially curated sets, free gift with purchase options, and value sizes you don’t see during the rest of the year. Read below for a list of the best makeup gift sets some of my favorite brands have rolled out in 2024!

Makeup Gift Sets at Sephora

Sephora Favorites Makeup Must Haves Gift Set

Sephora Favorites Makeup Must Haves Gift Set | Holiday Gift Guide by Lifestyled By Sofia

Price: $69

Sephora pulled out all the stops this year with their Makeup Must Haves set, which is actually valued at $35 more than the set they dropped last year. They’ve also added 3 more items making this 12-piece makeup set a steal this holiday season! This includes a collection of best-selling products for makeup, skincare, and haircare, with five full-size products, three deluxe, and four minis. You’ll find brands like Makeup by Mario, Sol De Janeiro, Olaplex, Paula’s Choice, Tower 28, Haus Labs, Rare Beauty, and more. This set is valued at $189.

Olaplex Get Your Shine On Frizz Control Hair Styling Value Set

Olaplex Get Your Shine On Frizz Control Hair Styling Value Set | Gift Guide by Lifestyled By Sofia

Price: $42

If you know someone who loves to try new hair products, this 2-piece Olaplex Frizz Control Hair Set at Sephora is the perfect gift! This set includes two full size Olaplex products: The No. 6 Bond Smoother Frizz Control Styling Hair Cream and the iconic No. 7 Bonding Frizz Reduction & Heat Protectant Hair Oil.

Here are two other Olaplex haircare gift sets available at Ulta this holiday season:

NARS Mini Orgasm Blush and Lip Duo

NARS Mini Orgasm Blush and Lip Duo | Gift Guide by Lifestyled By Sofia

Price: $30

You can always count on Nars to curate must-have makeup gift sets during major holiday sales & the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I love this 2-piece Mini Orgasm Blush and Lip Duo which includes their blush and a bestselling lip balm in the cult favorite peachy-pink shade Orgasm.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk On the Go Set

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk On the Go Set | Gift Guide by Lifestyled By Sofia

Price: $59

This year, Charlotte Tilbury updated their makeup gift sets and I have to say, I think they hit the mark with the variety in each box. Last year, the Pillow Talk set was exclusively promoting their lip products, but I like that this includes lip, cheek, and eye products in one. These four best-selling products are the perfect luxury makeup gift set this season. The Pillow Talk On The Go Set includes a Travel Size Lip Cheat, Eyes to Mesmerize, Travel Size Matte Revolution Lipstick, and a Travel Size Beauty Light Wand, all in shade Pillow Talk.

P.S. This set is only available for purchase online!

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Mini Blush and Luminize Trio

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Mini Blush and Luminize Trio

Price: $35

The jury is out on whether or not Rare Beauty will bring back their 3-piece blush set with one full sized product to Sephora this year. I loved their Soft Pinch Blush Set last year, and for just $30, it was a no-brainer purchase. But this year, I actually like their shade choice even more! Right now, you can snag a beautiful 3-piece mini set that includes two blushes and their liquid luminizer in shade Enliven for $35. You can even use a couple as stocking stuffers and keep one for yourself! 

Makeup Gift Sets at Ulta

NUDESTIX Roses N’ Honey 3 Piece Mini NUDIES Gift Set

I am so glad NUDESTIX continues to offer this set!! This 3-piece mini NUDIES set from NudeStix includes three iconic shades (Bondi Bae, Bohemian Rose, Hey Honey) for eyes, lips, and cheeks. Basically a full face of makeup in 3 little sticks. This set is perfect for the low-maintenance makeup lover in your life.

Essence Lash Princess Mascara Holiday Gift Set

Essence Lash Princess Mascara Holiday Gift Set

Price: $14.99

Wanna know the most seriously underrated mascara?! Take note. This 4-piece Essence mascara holiday pack includes both of their False Lash Effect mascaras (original and waterproof), as well as their Lash Princess Curl & Volume Mascara and the Lash Princess Mascara Primer Extra Length & Volume. This cute, giftable set is a great stocking stuffer or small addition to a big makeup gift haul! I always keep multiple bottles of this mascara in my Pro kit!

Tarte Stay Golden Amazonian Clay Cheek Set

Tarte Stay Golden Amazonian Clay Cheek Set | Makeup gift sets at Ulta Beauty

Price: $45

Tarte always slays with their fun and affordable makeup gift sets and this year’s lineup is no different. They brought back a beautifully packaged Amazonian Clay Cheek Set in five stunning shades this year. You can choose from two color families: Pinks & Corals or Reds & Berries. These blushes and highlighters can be mixed, matched, and layered to accommodate a range of skin tones and complexions.

Too Faced Limited Edition Better Than Sex Mascara Duo

Too Faced Limited Edition Better Than Sex Mascara Duo | Makeup gift sets on Ulta

Price: $39

ICYMI: The #1 selling prestige mascara in America got a whopping $5 price bump this past year. Formally $24 per tube, Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara now sells for $29 a pop. If you’ve ever used it, you can probably understand why. If you’re addicted to this mascara like I am and looking for value + cost savings, you’ll find it in this mascara gift set. Priced at $39, you’re getting almost 33% off the price of two iconic Better Than Sex mascara tubes. I’ve been using this mascara for years and it’s one of my favorite Too Faced products. The fact that this gift set has almost 25,000 reviews speaks for itself!

Clinique Black Honey Lip + Cheek Duo

Clinique Black Honey Lip + Cheek Duo | Makeup Gift Sets on Ulta

Price: $45

Remember everyone’s recent obsession with Clinique’s cult classic Almost Lipstick in Black Honey? Well this year Clinique blessed us with a gorgeous Black Honey Lip + Cheek Duo gift set and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. This set includes a limited-edition cheek palette, which combines two blushes – in rosy Pink Honey Pop and warm Black Honey Pop shades – plus a highlighter into a travel-friendly compact. Valued at $105, I definitely expect this one to sell out. Grab it while you still can!

Real Techniques Midnight Merry Limited Edition Brush + Sponge Set

Real Techniques Midnight Merry Limited Edition Brush + Sponge Makeup Gift Set

Price: $29.99

The ultimate makeup lover gift would not be complete with a complete brush and sponge set. This limited edition brush set from Real Techniques is the real deal. These are some of the best brushes I have used when it comes to performance, durability, and price. This set includes 7 face and eye brushes, a beauty blender, and a sponge case to keep your blender clean.

*This brush set is the same price year-round and has been for years but that doesn’t make it any less of a gift around the holidays. This set makes the perfect gift for a makeup guru, makeup beginner, or anyone in between.

Carolina Herrera Mini Good Girl & Good Girl Blush Perfume Set

Carolina Herrera Mini Good Girl & Good Girl Blush Perfume Set | Holiday Gift Set ideas by Lifestyled By Sofia

Price: $39

Carolina Herrera discontinued their rollerball gift set (for now) and is instead offering their signature scents in mini versions of their iconic stiletto bottle packaging! I love a good rollerball to throw in a bag or purse but I’m actually so excited about these new sets because, aside from the intoxicating scent, the bottle is a big part of what makes this fragrance unique and fun. This is such a cute and memorable gift for a girlfriend or loved one. This set includes two best-selling scents: Good Girl and Good Girl Blush.

Viktor&Rolf Mini Flowerbomb Perfume Set

Viktor&Rolf Mini Flowerbomb Perfume Set | Holiday Gift Set ideas by Lifestyled By Sofia

Price: $35

After hearing such great things about the Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb perfume, I had to purchase this mini perfume set for myself. I immediately fell in love with both scents, using the OG Flowerbomb scent during the day and switching to the rich red vanilla bean scent of Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid in the evening. I absolutely love this brand of perfume and 100% plan to purchase the full size bottles! Grab this mini set to gift or to test them for yourself!

I hope this list inspires your gifting in 2024 and gives you endless ideas for perfect gifts for makeup lovers.
