20 Best Makeup Gift Sets and Beauty Gifts of 2024 to Give This Year

Filled with five essentials for that second-skin makeup look—a little glow here, a slight complexion tweak there—Jones Road’s kit is perfect for the giftee looking to get polished on the go. To start, select a Miracle Balm to provide an instant flush of color to the cheeks. (If you don’t know which shade to pick, Au Naturel and Bronze tend to flatter all skin tones.) The balm is rounded out with other universal essentials, including a clear brow gel, a black mascara, and a brown eyeshadow. What’s more, the collection comes in a keepsake makeup bag with a chic, crinkled design.

Whether you’re headed to a fête or just need a little shimmer in your day, Westman Atelier’s kit brings the party to any makeup look. Stocked with three travel-sized essentials for a festive zhush-up—including inky black mascara and a highlight stick in a sparkling rosé—the kit also contains Baby Cheeks. The creamy blush stick, which harnesses biomimicry pigment technology to create a natural-looking flush, is an insider’s secret for giving mature skin a youthful boost.

Julianne Moore and Kate Moss are just two of Hourglass’s A-list loyalists, who lean on the brand for that soft-focus glam. This limited-edition set offers five universally appealing products, including glittery eyeshadow, satin-y lipstick, and a versatile brush. But it’s the Ambient Lighting Palette—thoughtfully stocked with light-diffusing blush, bronzer, highlighter, and finishing powder—that your giftee will love for an on-demand glow.

Merit’s Signature Lip—a matte lipstick that manages to feel weightless on the lips—won over senior beauty shopping writer Kiana Murden, who was previously a “gloss girl through and through.” This limited-edition set features the irresistible formulation in three new shades, each with a different finish. From a burgundy matte to a pink-brown satin and a mauve “lip blush,” the collection is just the thing for makeup lovers looking for a modern lip.

Bobbi Brown’s tightly curated calendar offers an assortment of gifts sure to dazzle any beauty lover. A mix of full- and travel-size goods is featured—but only bestsellers made the final cut. Everything from the cult-classic, vitamin-enriched Face Base to rosy lipstick and creamy moonstone eyeshadow is in the mix, and they’re all housed in this festive golden box.

Charlotte Tilbury’s jewel-studded, heart-shaped advent calendar is eye candy in itself—but the goodies inside bring even more beauty to the holiday season. The quick-to-sell-out set is filled with 12 makeup and skincare favorites from the beloved brand, ranging from the universally flattering Pillow Talk lipstick to Push-Up mascara and crystalline lip oil.

Known for pioneering skin care from vampire facials to nutrient-rich creams, Dr. Barbara Strum also offers treatments that plump and perfect the complexion without a needle or vial in sight. The doctor’s advent calendar offers 24 of her bestselling salves for holiday-photo-ready skin, ranging from a gentle cleanser to the anti-aging Glow Drops that Hailey Bieber routinely dabs on.

Make the first 25 days of December ever-so fragrant with dozens of gifts from the beloved London house. The brand’s classic, cream-and-black packaging gets a festive makeover with candy canes and ornaments; inside the box, colognes, candles, and bath products lie in wait. Pro tip: Jo Malone’s scents were made to be layered, so mix one day’s discovery with the next for a customized fragrance that will become your signature on the holiday party circuit.

Just the thing for the young (or young-at-heart) Instagram aficionado, Rhode’s clever phone case ensures that lipgloss is on hand for every selfie opp. The limited-edition accessory comes in various sizes for different iPhones and in hues ranging from Peach Pit to Salty Tan. Plus, a pocket in the back keeps Rhode’s peptide lip treatments—or the gloss of your choice—secure. The cult accessory tends to fly off the shelves, so grab it before it’s out of stock.

Chanel’s glimmering eyeshadow palette holds four complementary colors, which can be used individually or combined for maximum eye drama. Available in 16 shades—ranging from the pink and shimmery Tissé Camélia to the green-and-gold-tinged Blurry Green, the palettes each hold two medium hues, one deep shade for contour, and a light shadow to highlight. And, should you wish to change looks in the car whisking you from one holiday party to the next, the compact’s built-in mirror will come in handy.

A staple in Jennifer Garner’s beauty bag, this covetable lipstick conditions lips while coating it in a wash of radiant color. It’s not just celebrities themselves that love the lipstick, mind you. Michael Anthony, celebrity makeup artist for the likes of Ariana Grande, previously told Vogue: “The formula is very rich-feeling and the color range has a variety of interesting undertones—especially in the nude shades,” he notes. Beige Kalahari, for example, mixes light pink with a soft gold hue inspired by desert sand.

When a long winter’s nap simply isn’t an option, consider this instant complexion reviver instead. In her recent quest for a healthy, natural-looking flush, Vogue contributor Coco Mellor swiped on two hues of Guerlain’s Terracotta Blush (Light Nude and Deep Nude, to be exact) and woke up to the powers of the French beauty classic. “Somehow I look like I just slept 12 hours,” she marveled in her review.

While telling Vogue her beauty secrets, Eva Longoria confided: “I love taking care of my skin. I feel like I’m pampering myself every day in my bathroom.” Integral to Longoria’s luxe, at-home regime are Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream and golden eye patches, both found in this limited-edition set. Also including a corrective serum, the trio has all the hydrating, brightening essentials for radiant, resilient skin.

Stocked with La Mer’s legendary skincare—which applies an oceanic touch to hydrating, lifting, and plumping the complexion via its sea kelp-rich Miracle Broth—this luxe gift set contains four of the brand’s most efficacious products. From a moisturizing eye cream to a sculpting serum and the famously rich La Mer Moisturizing Cream, the set will keep your giftee’s skin soft as a siren’s lullaby all winter long.

With her eponymous skin care line, celebrity esthetician Joanna Czech bottled up her signature, soothing touch. Her toner, serums, cream, and balm—bundled up here in a travel-ready collection —make for a hydrated and healthy complexion on the go. Pro tip: The Cleansing Wipes, seeped in anti-inflammatory flower water, are perfect for a post-flight refresh.

Laneige’s cult-classic lip masks are a key factor in Tyla’s glossy brown lip; for Lila and Kate Moss, the product is a family beauty secret. Infused with fruit complex, vitamin C, coconut oil, and shea and murumuru butters, the classic comes here in five miniature pots ready to flood the lips with moisture—and fruity flavor. This set, in particular, contains mini lip masks in Mango, Berry, Gummy Bear, Watermelon Pop, and Peach Iced Tea.

Diptyque’s five-piece set offers a whiff of the natural world, filtered through a fantastical lens. Inspired by natural elements with imperceptible scents—including mother of pearl, coral reefs, and crystalline structures—the Les Essences collection is a new offering from the storied French house, making it the perfect gift for the fragrance lover who’s always in the know.

Along with the classic Baccarat Rouge 540, which drew compliments from Rihanna when one Vogue writer wore it to her fashion show, Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s set contains seven other scents. From watery and light to fruity and musky, there’s a waft to suit any mood. As a bonus, the under-$100 price tag gives the set a more casual vibe—yours can be the most coveted gift at the office White Elephant.

The iconic scent gets a fresh take in this limited-edition drop—which actually looks like a drop. In a clear vessel that the brand has called “a feat of glassmaking,” the fragrance has a lighter, fresher feel than the Chanel No. 5 that accompanied Marilyn Monroe to bed. Created in 2016, the No. 5 L’Eau adds citrus and cedarwood to the original No. 5 notes of aldehyde, ylang-ylang, rose, and jasmine.

Brooklyn-based perfumer D.S. & Durga is known for unisex scents that are handmade in small batches, giving each one a cult, grab-it-while-you-can appeal. Perfect for the experimentalist on your gift list, the Deluxe Box Set has six scents including the Vogue-editor beloved Cowboy Grass and the Debaser scent—which, according to the brand, can best be described as “hot, humid, and sexy.” The fragrances can be mixed and matched, worn alone, or layered with the brand’s I Don’t Know What perfume enhancer, which also comes in the set.
