Stuck trying to figure out what to get someone for their
birthday or the holidays? (Just saying, they’re practically around the corner!) I’ve got a suggestion for you: makeup gift sets. Like, c’mon, they’re pretty much ready-to-go presents, consisting of multiple makeup or skincare products all bundled up and sold at a discounted price. (Ahem, the likelihood of finding a gift set that’s actually cheaper than just buying the full-size product on its own is pretty high.) In other words, all the hard curation work has been done for you!
Whether they love to keep up with fun makeup trends, prefer a more natural look, or just need a restock on some holy grail essentials, there’s definitely a gift set in the list below that they’ll genuinely love. Warning: You may snag something for yourself too while you’re shopping for your loved one!
Ahead, the 21 best makeup gift sets to throw down on that special person in your life. From lipstick bundles and sculpting palettes to skincare/makeup prep kits and full-face sets, you’ll score the gift jackpot with any of these. So keep scrolling and join me in becoming the best gift-giver of all damn time with these sets for your mom, sister, best friend, cousin, coworker, or let’s be honest, yourself.
