29 Makeup Gift Sets That'll Make Your Beauty-Obsessed Bestie Squeal

Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk On The Go Set is a bundle of five beloved products from the brand's Pillow Talk collection. Each item comes in a super adaptable shade that Tilbury insists wears perfectly on every lip, eye, and cheek. So, let's take it from the top. The berry-brown Mini Pillow Talk Eyeliner paired with the deep black Push Up Lashes Mascara is an eye-popping duo, only made better by the soft rosiness imparted by the Mini Matte Beauty Blush Wand. Wrap up the look with the Lip Cheat lip liner and Matte Revolution Lipstick, and call it a very good day.

Merit makes some of our favorite, stripped-down essentials, and the Five-Minute Morning set summarizes the brand's classic, minimalist aesthetic — think of it as filling in the blanks of natural beauty. The collection of seven stunning products (four of which are Best of Beauty Winners) is everything your giftee needs to primp before heading out the door with five minutes to spare. Next time the two of you meet for brunch, you'll see the set in effect and wish you'd gotten one for yourself. And you know what? We think you should.

Glossier is the be-all-end-all of no-makeup makeup, and the Fresh Faced Set is no exception. The trio includes a tube of fan-favorite Boy Brow, Balm Dot Com, and a bottle of the glowy, oil/serum hybrid Futuredew. These products come together for a simple, versatile refresh, but also fit into even the most extravagant beauty regimen. Better yet, if your bestie is a self-proclaimed beauty novice building a routine from the ground up, this trio is the perfect foundation.

MAC's Frostbitten Kitten Lustreglass Set is a total steal. These five sheer-but-creamy lipsticks use jojoba, coconut, extra-virgin olive oils, and raspberry seed to nourish lips, as well as hyaluronic acid to moisturize. The buildable formula provides eight hours of color and six hours of sheen, which we love to see from a lip product that takes two seconds to apply. The set is a great beauty gift for the purist who adores anything with the MAC imprint — or, for the drugstore devotee who'll be delighted with a change of pace.

Anastasia Beverly Hills's Full & Feathered Brow Kit is complete with three of the brand's brow essentials: mini Dipbrow Gel, Brush 12, and mini Brow Freeze (a little goes a long way. The pigmented, volumizing gel lasts a whopping 12 hours, and when used in tandem with the Brow Freeze, it's like time is standing still. Use the spool side of the two-ended brush for fluffing and shaping. Your giftee can use the brow freeze on naked brows, too, for a natural look that'll have friends asking how much they paid for the threading. "Oh, no," they'll answer. "It's a gel, and it was a gift."

2023's Best of Beauty-winning Underlined Kajal Eyeliner Duo from Kulfi is one of our all-time favorites. The liner is named for its inspiration: kajal, an often homemade eyeliner integral to South Asian culture, often worn to ward off the evil eye. The brand's interpretation of the creamy, vitamin-rich formula is a rich tribute to South Asian beauty traditions and blends like a total dream. The black and brown duo will change the game for the liner lover in your life. Tell them they have about 20 seconds to smudge and shape before the liner fully sets.

Kaja was looking out for us when they made this Bento Bouncy Eyeshadow Trio, so why not pay it forward (without paying all that much)? This curated kit contains three creamy-powdery hues in a thoughtful mix of matte and shimmery shadows. The stacked design makes for an easy travel pick, and your giftee can leave their bulky brush at home and apply the shadow straight onto their lid with a clean finger. Did we mention it's a Best of Beauty 2019 winner? Sold, sold, and sold.

Go ahead and slip the NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss Trio straight into your loved one's stocking. These sweet shades have tasty names to match. Swipe on a bit of deep taupe Praline, soft pink Angel Food Cake, or decadent brown Funnel Cake, and let the buttery, non-sticky formula shine. They can finish off the look by lining with an NYX lip liner for their prettiest pout yet. And what better deal for you than three lippies for 10 bucks? Grab these holiday hues before it's too late.

This limited-edition set of Nars Mini Afterglow Liquid Blushes comes with tried-and-true tints of Orgasm (the iconic peachy-pink with golden shimmer) and Dolce Vita (rosy pink), as well as the brand-new Orgasm Rush (rosy bronze). Not only are the liquid blushes buildable and long-wearing, but they double as a nice little dose of hydration. For a super natural look, dab the applicator onto the back of the hand and apply gently to the cheek with your finger. Add a couple of extra coats for an even flusher flush, or apply directly onto the cheek for peak saturation.

This bundle of bestsellers from the Bobbi Brown-founded Jones Road features a handful of customizable instant classics. For your recipient, choose two shades of The Face Pencil and a shade of Miracle Balm, and every set comes with the universally eye-popping The Mascara in Pitch Black. Tell your giftee that for extra hydration, they can blend The Face Pencil with their favorite moisturizer on the back of their hand before applying. Depending on the shade you choose, the Miracle Balm can function like a blush, highlighter, or bronzer — so opt for whatever you sense your loved one is missing most.

If you're anything like us, a jar of cookie butter is basically glued to your hand all winter. And if your friends are anything like you, then we all have a lot in common. That's only one of the reasons we love Tower 28 Beauty's Lip Drip Cookie Butter Lip Gloss Set. The non-sticky, balm-like gloss is already out of this world, but the limited-edition chestnut shade…come on! The gloss's jelly formula contains five hydrating oils, including apricot oil, raspberry seed oil, and rosehip oil, each offering tried and true, unique benefits.

God bless that dreamy, slightly out-of-control "winter getaway" Pinterest board you share with your bestie. The trip may not be in the cards this year, but fear not — you two don't need plane tickets to secure radiant skin. Instead, with the help of Westman Atelier's The Good Skin Edition Makeup Set, you can hand them that natural glow in a box. This well-rounded set comes with a blush stick, a highlight stick, and a bronzing powder. Before their lips and lids get jealous, tell them the blush stick triples as a lipstick and creamy eyeshadow. The highlight stick also does wonders as a shadow.

This liquid eye shadow duo from Stila delivers pigmented, shimmery color onto lids with a single swipe. The set contains the shades Kitten Kaleidoscope, a glittery warm nude, and Starlight, a hue that wears like a glass of glistening champagne. The long-lasting, adhesive base shadows go on smoothly, making them perfect additions to any Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and every other Eve look. Apply the product to the eyelids and blend with a clean finger or a brush. Whoever you choose to bless with this set can don the shadow by itself or apply a sheer layer atop a powder or cream shadow.

U Beauty puts their Plasma technology to work in this luxe plumping set. Using peptides, natural extracts, and ceramides creates a faux-filler look, with no derm appointment necessary. The Plasma Set features three buildable shades, Universal, Cassis, and Sunset, that look good on literally everyone. The brand states that noticeable, lasting changes will kick in at the four-week mark. Apply at least twice a day, and at most, however much feels right.

The Guerlain Terracotta & Noir G set is the subtly dramatic, glowy duo of your giftee's dreams. The brand describes the bronzer as a second skin, with a light, silky finish. The mascara is a melange of inky blue and ebony to add a fluttery depth to any lash. They can apply the Terracotta to the high points of the face, finish the look with a couple of striking swipes, and call it a night.

Too Faced's Let It Snow Globes Makeup Collection offers three compact (and scented!) face and eye shadow palettes packed with holiday-friendly shades that translate to year-round wear. Taste of Christmas (pecan pie), Peacock (gum drops), and Holiday Angel (Xmas cookies) each feature a balanced combo of matte, metallic, and shimmery. (We wouldn't blame you if you divided the trio between you and two friends — because you deserve some fun, too.)

Bobbi Brown is beloved for its ultra-wearable lip shades (the basis of the brand's founding in 1990), and the limited-edition Confetti Crush Lip Set is no exception. This three-piece set is the holy trinity of pinks and nudes. Whether your loved ones take 5 or 50 minutes to get ready, you'll be giving the gift of a new go-to mini routine. Start with a swipe of the soft, matte Crushed Lip Color in Sazan Nude, followed by the never-sticky Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss. Do the first layer in Free Spirit and seal the deal with a second layer in Bellini.

Give the gift of glaze. This set of best-selling lip oils from Innbeauty Project nurtures and heals while promising a plump pucker with the help of botanical oils, natural red-root, and fermented pomegranate. The featured flavors in this batch are Candy Apple, Vanilla Mint, Merlot, and the brand-new Cinnamon Bun. Beyond the beauty of a lip oil that behaves like a gloss, your loved one will love how freaking good they taste. Apply by itself for a hydrating, subtle wash of color, or swipe it over lipstick for some added sheen.

The Lana Look by Gen See has it all, i.e. a 2023 Best of Beauty-winning mascara, metallic liquid shadow, matte liquid shadow, cheek/lip stain, lip gloss, and (wait for it) a makeup bag in the best orange you've ever seen. So, if your friend or sister has been looking for a routine reboot, consider this the answer. The shadows and cheek and lip color come in a ton of shades, so study your giftee's face long and hard. Maybe even watch a couple of TikToks about color theory before customizing the set. No pressure, though. We believe in your big brain.

The Wet Set Undressed by Kosas is a juicy little duo of elevated nude lippies. It features a full-size Wet Stick, a sheer lipstick infused with squalene and ceramides, and its glistening little sister — a mini-sized Wet Lip Oil Gloss with plumping peptides. If your giftee is looking for opacity, they can opt for multiple layers of lipstick and a generous serving of gloss. Now, it's time to take photos in front of the tree, post ten nearly identical pics, and let the compliments roll in.

The Fenty Prime + Set Essentials Instant Mattifying Set is the giftable answer to unwanted shine. In it, your loved one will find the Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder and Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Primer, both of which come in one universal shade, adaptable to all skin tones. Fenty founder Rihanna herself shared that this blotting powder is a red carpet essential.

"I use Invisimatte Blotting Powder every day, and I take it with me wherever I go, the singer said of her product. "Every red carpet you see me on, this has been in my clutch." It's so essential she even whipped out the compact during her 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show — major.

This lip oil and lipstick duo is this winter's hottest (and most chocolatey) way to hydrate. The LYS lip set in Hot Chocolate is high-shine and infused with vitamin E and a blend of sunflower, carrot, sweet almond, chia seed, and macadamia nut oils. The lip oil can be applied day and night, whenever a moisture boost is needed. If reddish brown is more your giftee's look, grab them the set in Chocolate Cherry instead.

For when the rosy flush from nippy winter air fades, the Twinkly Pink Blush & Highlighter Set by Benefit Cosmetics is the superbly radiant, cheeky treat for anyone on your list. Benefit's powder blush is sweat and smudge-proof, naturally matte, never chalky, and ready to blend and build with its shimmery highlighter mate. We also love that the set comes in a sweet tin, lovely for storing makeup, jewelry, or teeny tiny treasures.

Tarte knows something we don't. The brand's Maracuja Juicy Lip Defining Duo is a power couple of lip-lifting products that work wonders to create a more hydrated, fuller-looking pout using maracuja and hyaluronic acid. Whether your giftee is a no-needles type or between dermatologists, this set is a simple and effective at-home option for a luscious pucker. They simply need to trace their lips with the creamy liner and finish with a couple of swipes of the lip oil.

The Clinique Full Face Forward Nude Mood Makeup Set is everything anyone needs to build out a versatile holiday look from scratch. Whether your loved one uses this set on its own or combines it with longstanding favorites, these neutrals can be built up, down, or in a new direction never before explored (not to be dramatic). This little number includes five full-sizers: Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer, All About Shadow Trio, High Impact Mascara, Quickliner, and Take The Day Off Makeup Remover. They can even swap out the blush-pink lipstick with a classically glam red and call it a Christmas.

Pat McGrath packaged the perfect mini lip look with a pinky nude trio of lipstick, liner, and gloss. In the kit, your giftee will get a smooth and saturated Mini MatteTrance Lipstick, the non-sticky Mini Lust Gloss, and the ever-precise PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencil. They can start by shaping their lips with the pencil, blending out, adding the lipstick, and then finishing with a generous sweep of the gloss.

Lancôme is lifting lashes left and right with this Définicils Mascara Gift Set. Wrap it up for your best friend who's been lamenting her not-so-long lashes but isn't a fan of falsies. Tell her that instead, she can start with Lancôme's Cils Booster XL Vitamin-Infused Mascara Primer, followed by the Définicils Defining & Lengthening Mascara. After a long day of accepting compliments, bestie can come home and remove her eye makeup with the ever-gentle Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover (all it takes is a little shake to activate the formula).
