The Best Makeup Gift Sets for Christmas

This collection is an absolute must for those seeking a penny-saving present. Containing everything you need for beautiful brows and alluring eyes, the set comes in a stylish cosmetic bag that's easy to throw in a handbag.

A limited edition palette in the cutest Christmas-themed packaging (and with holiday stickers inside). This palette from Benefit gets cheeks ready for all your holiday parties with two blushes and a highlighter.

Benefit's just killing it with the adorable packaging this Christmas. This kit also has stickers (yay!), as well as the best-selling pore-erasing primer, matte bronzer, lengthening mascara and brow gel. Long after the makeup is all used up, the keepsake tin will totally make whoever you give this to think of you and smile!

Outshine the Christmas lights this holiday with the radiant Prep-Set-Glow spray that we all know and love from ICONIC London. The Sheer Blush adds colour as well as anti-pollution plant extracts to your cheeks, and the Triple Threat Mascara totally makes your eyes pop. This is one you might just have to buy for yourself and sneak under the tree.

For that one person in the family who never has enough red lipstick, pick up this lipstick and liner duo in the true red semi-matte shade 'Beso'. They'll love the intense pigment that lasts up to six hours, while still being comfortable thanks to moisturising vitamin E and avocado oil. What's more Christmas-y than a bold, red lip?

For more lip shade variations, pick out one of the lovely lip trios from Morphe. With a pencil to define your mouth's contours, an intensely pigmented matte lip and a high-shine gloss, what more do you need for your most gorgeous pout ever?

This Insta-worthy makeup set has a little of everything: a six-pan eyeshadow palette, shimmery face palette, liquid lipstick and lip gloss. The glittery purple pouch adds a glam finishing touch that makes it the perfect gift.

This is THE gift for someone that isn't into eyeshadows and lippies, but loves a natural, glowing look. Make their eyes (and skin) light up with the face gloss and cream blush duo, liquid bronzer and hydrating lip oil. All of the products are infused with hydrating, illuminating ingredients that will do wonders for skin in the winter months.

Wrap up this kit in your best Christmas wrapping paper for that friend or family member that's new to makeup or wants to overhaul their foundation routine for something new. This bareMinerals starter kit feels super comfy and gives you a natural, glowy finish while still covering impurities. It includes a mineral-infused foundation primer, SPF 15 creamy mineral foundation, skin-blurring and oil-absorbing finishing powder and a brush.

In total gift-worthy firework-covered packaging, this gift set from Illamasqua is perfect for creating shimmery holiday makeup looks. You'll get a metallic gold eye pencil, liquid highlighter and a soft nude lipstick with finely milled gold particles for subtle shimmer that's worth a whopping £60.

We all know a Love Island fan (or are one ourselves). Whoever that person in your life is, give them a gift set made in collaboration with Maura Higgins herself. The Christmas collection includes a glowy primer, bronzer and diamond peach blusher.

Maybelline always deliver great value for money and this gift set is no different. Designed to give you salon-quality results at home, this collection includes the Falsies Lash Lift Mascara, Lifter Gloss Lip Gloss, Brow Fast Sculpt Mascara, Superstay 3D Gel Topcoat and a travel-size Garnier micellar water.

This complete brush set has all the brushes you need to perfect and enhance your face with complete precision, making it a makeup kit must-have. These brushes promise no shedding and great adherence to powders and creams, making it great for beauty novices and veterans alike. Plus, the rose gold handles and tube lend a luxe look that's ideal for gift-giving.

Sparkles are a quintessential part of holiday makeup, and you can create tonnes of different sparkly looks with this eyeshadow trio. Despite being a liquid shadow, these are super long lasting and come in three gorgeous shades (Kitten Kaleidoscope, Diamond Dust and Courageous), which you can give as one gift or split up into three to share between besties.

Sometimes buying makeup for other people is a bit difficult if you don't know their colour preferences and the like, so a set of makeup sponges is a great option if you're uncertain. We love this antimicrobial collection, complete with sponges for cleansing, for applying liquids and creams and for setting powders, as well as a handy travel case.
