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!
Sephora really pulled out the stops this year with their Holiday Makeup Must Haves set. This 9-piece makeup set includes a collection of best-selling products for face, brows, eyes, and lips. You’ll find full and travel-size products from Paula’s Choice, Urban Decay, Rare Beauty, ILIA, Natasha Denona, and more. This set is valued at $154.
If you know someone who loves to try new hair products, this 3-piece Olaplex Style & Strengthen Hair Set at Sephora is the perfect gift! This set includes the Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum, No. 6 Bond Smoother Reparative Styling Crème, and the iconic No. 7 Bonding Hair Oil. This set is also great if you’ve been wanting to try Olaplex yourself but aren’t ready to commit to the full-size products.
You can always count on Nars to curate must-have makeup gift sets during major holiday sales & the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I love this 3-piece Behave Backstage set which includes their liquid, powder, and multi-stick blush in shade Behave.
An under $50 set with four best-selling lip products from Charlotte Tilbury is the perfect luxury makeup gift set this season. The Pillow Talk Beautifying Lip Set includes a full-size Hyaluronic Happikiss, travel-size Matte Revolution Lipstick, Lip Cheat liner, and Collagen Lip Bath.
One more Sephora blush set because I’m really big on blush this time of year. For only $30, you can snag this Soft Pinch Liquid Blush 3 Piece Set from Rare Beauty. It includes two minis and one full-size liquid blush. Use a couple as stocking stuffers and keep one for yourself!
Yay for limited edition sets!! 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.
Wanna know the most seriously underrated mascara?! Take note. This Essence mascara duo pack includes their original & waterproof mascaras in a perfectly giftable set. This 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!
My jaw actually dropped when I found this blush palette from Tarte. This truly stunning palette includes three of my absolute favorite shades from Tarte’s Amazonian Clay blush line. Three beautiful shades (Petunia, Wild rose, Tulip) can be mixed, matched, and layered to accommodate a range of skin tones and complexions.
If you’re looking for value + cost savings, you’ll find it in this mascara gift set. Normally $24 a piece, you’re getting almost 40% 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 22,000 reviews speaks for itself!
This is another super discounted mascara set featuring 3 full-size IT Cosmetics mascaras. Each of these volumizing and lengthening mascaras has uniquely shaped brushes so you can experiment & find your favorite. The formulas are also biotin-infused for lash care and a lash lift all in one.
The ultimate makeup lover gift would not be complete with a complete brush set and makeup gift bag. 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 9 face and eye brushes, two beauty blenders, and a makeup bag to hold everything. Ulta is running a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal right now so you can gift two and keep one for yourself.
*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.
Giving perfume to someone is a very personal gift but it can be tough if you’re not sure what scents they prefer. A rollerball gift set is a great option so they can test out different scents and use the ones they prefer. This Carolina Herrera rollerball set is a perfect stocking stuffer, or gift for a girlfriend or loved one. This set includes three best-selling scents: Good Girl, Very Good Girl, and Very Good Girl Glam Parfum.
