The Best Holiday Makeup Gifts for the Makeup Lovers in Your Life

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utah chapter.

Christmas is by far the best time of the year. I seriously love everything about the holiday season:  the decorations, festive Starbucks drinks, Christmas cookies, and holiday songs. But the best part is being able to give to others! I love spending time picking out the perfect gift for someone that I just know they will love. I also am a hardcore makeup lover. It’s hard for me to avoid buying everyone on my list something beauty related when there are so many great things to buy, especially during the holiday season. There are so many gift sets made just for your holiday gift giving needs (or for yourself… I’m not judging you). Here are some of the best holiday beauty gifts this holiday season.

Tonymoly My Shea Sheet Mask Holiday Box: $8.00

These masks are the bomb! They are usually around $4.00 each, but this box includes five of them for only $8.00. Plus, the packaging is adorable and holiday-themed. Sign me up!

Butter London Little Gems 6 Piece Trend Lacquer Collection: $24.00

Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Liquid Lipstick Set: $25.00

This is such a cost-effective way to try out three different liquid lipsticks from Anastasia Beverly Hills! Although they call these mini, there’s only .03 ounces less product in these than in the full size. The full-size version of these lipsticks sell for $20.00 each, so this is a great way to try out three different shades. Who actually finishes a lipstick anyway?

MAC Snowball Mini Lipstick Kit: $29.50

Trust me- MAC lipsticks live up to the hype. They are such a comfortable formula to wear and come in classic shades that will never go out of style. Their lipsticks retail for $17.50 each, so this kit is a great deal to try three different colors! Plus, these classic shades will look good on anyone on your shopping list. Featured here is the warm kit, including the shades: Just Beaming, Tenor Voice, and Candy Cane.
