If you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas for a beauty lover, then you already know how hard picking out the perfect present can be. There’s an overwhelming number of beauty products on the market — skincare! makeup! light masks that make everyone look like a serial killer! — that it’s hard to know where to begin. And how TF are you supposed to decide which brand, product, or shade to buy?
You need an expert. A beauty connoisseur, if you will. Someone who can confidently tell you that not only are these good beauty products, they’re also excellent gifts. And friends, that someone is me.
I’ve done the hard work (seriously, my bathroom is filled with an embarrassing amount of makeup and skincare) so you don’t have to. I’ve rounded up the best makeup, skincare, haircare and fragrance gifts that any glam-obsessed diva is bound to love. They’re both editor and beauty girlie approved — and it doesn’t get much better than that.
22 Christmas Gift Ideas For Beauty Lovers
The Go-To Transformazing Face Masks
I will never shut up about how good the Go-To face masks are. Whack one on before a big event (Christmas lunch, perhaps?) and watch your skin get like, 25 per cent glowier. Even if your loved one has these already, they’ll never say no to another six-pack.

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Haul 12-Hour Hydrating Primer Duo (Limited Edition)
Everyone needs a good primer, and Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grips are both beloved by makeup enthusiasts thanks to its ultra-grippy nature. This duo comes with both the OG and a glowy version, so your giftee can pick and choose how they want their base to look (and it’ll stay put, even on a hot summer day).

Yves Saint Laurent Loveshine Lipstick
Nothing says Christmas quite like opening up something luxe… and YSL Beauty’s range of beauty products is an affordable way to give someone a bougie treat. The brand’s Loveshine Lipstick is having its moment RN — it has the staying power and coverage of a lipstick, but shine of a lip gloss.

Salt By Hendrix Cloud Gua Sha
If you’re looking for a stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift, you can’t go past a Gua Sha tool. This one from Salt By Hendrix comes in rose quartz, while the cloud-shaped design targets puffy facial areas to sculpt the face and give you a snatched look — great for hiding a silly season hangover.

Oribe Italian Resin Flat Brush
Sure, salon-quality haircare is important when it comes to achieving long, luscious locks. But the product that’s often forgotten about — and contributes more than you’d think to your hair’s health — is a brush. Oribe’s Italian Resin Flat Brush has a mix of boar bristles and rounded nylon pins to gently grip the hair and give it a smooth, shiny finish.

Kitsch Assorted Satin Sleep Scrunchies
Speaking of healthy hair, satin scrunchies are a lot more forgiving than traditional hair ties, and these ones from Kitsch are a great stocking stuffer.

Opallac Glazed Gel Kit 7 Piece Set
Getting your nails done these days is bloody expensive. So, if your giftee has an artistic streak (and they probably do if they’re always playing around with different makeup looks), this DIY gel nail kit from Opallac will save them plenty of money in the long run.

Sundae Body Gingerbread Body Whip
If you’re really pressed for ideas, you can’t go wrong with a bathroom essential like a moisturiser. Sundae Body’s Gingerbread Body Whip is not only on theme with the festivities, but also smells bloody delicious.

Country Road Silk Pillowcase
A silk pillowcase is a must-have in any beauty lover’s bedroom. Unlike cotton or linen, silk doesn’t pull moisture from your skin in the night, so your expensive serums don’t end up plumping up your bed sheets instead. It’s also great for preventing frizzy hair, so you don’t look like a bird has set up its nest on top of your head each morning.

Therabody TheraFace Mask GLO
An LED light mask makes for the ideal Christmas present for the beauty lover in your life, because they’re the kind of item that’s a nice to have, but you’d never buy it for yourself. You can’t just drop a few hundred dollars on a whim, ya know? The TheraFace Mask Glo from Therabody aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines / wrinkles / redness, while promoting healthier, more hydrated and brighter skin.

Olaplex Nº.7 Bonding Oil
If you ask someone with a glorious mane of hair for their secret, there’s a good chance their answer will be Olaplex’s Bonding Oil. It’s the hair care product beloved by hairdressers and TikTok alike, helping repair damaged hair from the inside out. It’s a little pricey, but one bottle goes a long (long) way.

Laneige Midnight Minis
The Laneige lip mask has been one of the most viral beauty products we’ve seen for a hot minute: one, influencer Alix Earle loves it, and two, it works. This gift set contains two Lip Glowy Balms in sweet candy and vanilla for during the day, and three mini Lip Sleeping Masks in limited-edition eggnog, chocolate and caramel. I might buy this one for myself, TBH.

Dyson Airstrait
If there’s someone you’re looking to spoil this Christmas, Dyson has released its lauded (and award-winning) Airstrait in a strawberry bronze and blush pink colourway for the holiday season. It’s a wet-to-dry straightening tool that adds volume without damaging your hair — and it looks cute as hell.

Rare Beauty Blush Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
If Selena Gomez‘s Rare Beauty only made this one product, it would still be one of the best beauty brands around — it’s that good. A little bit of this product goes a long way, so the person you give this to will be able to enjoy it all year (and beyond).
Sephora Collection Pro 8-Piece Face & Eyes Brush Set (Holiday Limited Edition)
A makeup artist is only as good as their tools, so if you’re looking for a gift for someone still using the freebie applicators that came with their eyeshadow palette, why not give them an upgrade? This set from Sephora Collection includes eight different face and eye brushes, so they’ll be all sorted to do a full face.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream
I’ve tried a lot of moisturisers, and Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream is the one I keep coming back to. It’s brought my skin back from the brink of destruction, living up to the “magic” in its name, time and time again. Once they try CT, they’ll be hard pressed to use anything else.

Root around in any beauty gal’s kitchen and you’ll almost certainly find a collagen powder — and we won’t be surprised if it’s from Vida Glow. They promise to promote stronger nails, healthier hair and glowing skin. This peach-flavoured pack will give their daily bottle of water a little extra oomph.
