Holiday Gift Guide: Beauty Guru Edition

Shopping for the beauty lover in your life is easier said than done. Every single department store or beauty retailer has an endless amount of options. And for someone who is clueless about the beauty world, it can be overwhelming to attempt to find the perfect gift. But today we're going to break down all the different types of potential gifts and which is the best to get based on what your beauty expert will love most.

For the one with the Popping Highlight there are several go to brands that are known for their glow. Right now, the Anastasia Beverly Hills glow kits are a hot ticket item. Also if you can find Rihanna's Fenty Beauty Killawatt Highlighter in stock at Sephora, your beauty lover will love you forever for being able to snag it. For something a little more basic and classic, you can't go wrong with the Becca Après Ski Glow Face Palette. If you have no idea what brand your beauty guru loves best, then the Sephora Glow For It gift set is your best bet and a pretty affordable option. For $40 you get a sampler set of the best selling and most popular highlighters.

For the one who is Palette Obsessed, picking the right one can be difficult because of all the options. The Naked Palette by Urban Decay is the perfect starter eyeshadow palette. If your beauty guru is obsessed with beauty influencers then the Morphe Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette collaboration is a good go to. If your beauty expert isn't easily swayed by influencers then any of Morphe's palettes will get the job done. Right now, everyone is obsessed with the Huda Beauty palettes from Sephora, so snag one if you can. But honestly, there really isn't a bad palette out there. Brands like Tarte, Too Faced, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and other A List beauty brands all make killer palettes.

For the one who is the Lipstick Queen, you can go one of two ways. 1. Get the lip gift set with every color in the crayon box or 2. Stick to one shade and get a gift set that has a variation of the same shade. If your beauty expert has one go to shade she adores, stick with that. Sephora currently has gift sets that will focus on one standard shade type, like nude or bold. Each of those gift sets have several different lipsticks from different brands all in a similar shade. However, if your beauty guru wants something new, NYX offers several different gift sets featuring almost every single color of the rainbow at an affordable price. My personal favorite is the Lippie Countdown Advent Calendar, it's a festive and fun treat for the holiday season.

For the one who needs to Relax and Unwind, you can't go wrong with bath bombs, face masks, or any kind of bath product. Bath & Body Shop gift sets have always been popular, but even more now Lush has taken over the game. They have great gift sets already wrapped and ready to go! If you're looking for face masks, Sephora also carries a gift set filled with their most popular masks that work for all skin types. If you want something more high end, Glam Glow also has a great skincare gift set.

For the one who creates Nail Masterpieces, almost every department store and beauty retailer has nail polish gift sets. The most popular gift set at the moment is the Love OPI XOXO miniature gift set from Ulta and it has a variety of colors and it is a limited edition set specifically made with the holidays in mind. But another great nail polish brand is Ciate London, they currently have a winter gift set as well. It contains festive and sparkly nail polish!


No matter what you decide to do for your beauty enthusiast, as long as you put some thought and effort into it they will appreciate you no matter what. Plus if you're still having some trouble just ask for assistance at your local beauty retailer. They're there to help make your shopping experience easier and help you pick out the perfect gift.


Are there any beauty products you're dying for this holiday season? Personally, I could use some new bath bombs. Comment below!

Until tomorrow.
