The best makeup gift sets for your loved ones (or you) this Christmas

The perfect stocking filler for frequent flyers, overnighters and festival goers, these stackable pots from Trinny London are designed to make putting on your face totally fuss-free.

Containing a curated makeup look in one simple stack, they can also be completely personalised to your lucky giftee’s tastes and skin tone, with over 47 different shades of eye, lip and cheek colours to choose from. Whatever combination you go for, this will give you a fresh-faced look in minutes.

Give the gift of glow with this Pillow Talk gift set from Charlotte Tilbury. It includes two mini versions of the brand’s popular Beauty Light Wand highlighters, in the universally-flattering pinky nude shade and a rose gold tone – perfect for adding a soft-focus shimmer. There’s also a mini lipstick and full-sized lip gloss in the iconic Pillow Talk shade.

This is one for those who would pick mascara as their desert island essential. All eyes will be on them with this no.1 bestselling mascara and eyeliner set from luxury makeup brand, Lancome. They’ll also get a mini eye makeup cleanser to gently remove the powerful formula. No scrubbing allowed.

Name a better duo, we’ll wait. This Glow Prime & Set combo will help to soothe winter skin, leaving behind a flawless, glowing complexion. The Pure Canvas primer is enriched with minerals and glycerine to create a smooth, hydrated base for makeup. Then the translucent setting powder steps in to lock the look in place. We think the starry packaging makes it a perfect stocking filler.

This gorgeous set from beauty insider favourite, Merit, has “everything you need to get ready in five minutes, nothing you don’t,” according to the brand.

You get a complexion stick (great for those no-makeup makeup days), a non-sticky, plumping shade stick, a blush balm for blending over the apples of your cheeks, a handy blending brush, highlighting balm, lengthening mascara and brow gel. Yes, it’s pricey but, as they say, it’s got everything they’ll need...

Bobbi Brown has taken four of its full-sized favourites and put them into a gorgeous dusty pink makeup bag, ready for gifting. The set includes an oil-infused tinted lip-gloss, creamy eyeshadow sticks, an eyeliner and mini mascara for those sultry smoky eyes, and a vitamin-enriched primer to ensure their look lasts all night.

Another entry from Charlotte Tilbury because we can't get enough of the gorgeous gold packaging and glow-enhancing products. In this set, you'll find the iconic Pillow Talk lipstick, lip liner, eyeshadow quad and blusher. It's a Pillow Talk takeover – in the best possible way.

If lip oils are more their (or your) thing than lipsticks, then this 70th anniversary set from Clarins will be a proper treat. There are four shades of nourishing oils to choose from, all designed to enhance your pout.

They’re great for finishing off a full face of festive glam or for a quick freshen-up when you roll out of bed to open the rest of your presents.

Make any makeup lover’s dream come true with this treasure chest of goodies from Charlotte Tilbury. Encased in a beautiful vanity case are 13 full-sized products from the brand’s iconic Pillow Talk collection. Alongside a mascara and eyeliner, you get two gorgeous eyeshadow palates, six lip products, a blusher and two liquid highlighters, all in the brand’s super flattering pinky-peach Pillow Talk shades.

And if the products weren’t enough, the vanity case takes it to another level – with its luxurious pink quilted drawers and mirror inside the lid, it’s guaranteed to be a staple on their dressing table for years to come.

Give the gift of glow with ICONIC’s brightening set, which includes both a powder and liquid highlighter (the latter a GHI Beauty Hall of Fame winner no less), as well as a shining finishing spray – the perfect combination for accentuating cheekbones and cupid bows. There’s a mascara to lift those lashes too.
