The must-have of makeup to put under the tree Whether it's for a friend, mother, girlfriend, or sister, you can never go wrong with makeup

There’s one gift that always saves your reputation, even when you’re chronically late: make-up. Whether the recipient is a full-face queen or a clean girl who lives on blush and gloss, a beauty product always hits the mark at Christmas. Maybe it’s because of the well-designed limited editions or the festive atmosphere inside beauty stores. Either way, if you want a present that’s guaranteed to be loved, make-up is your secret weapon.

Make-up products to gift this Christmas 2025

Mewe’s Secret Glow Primer

If you’re looking for a smart and versatile gift, Mewe’s Secret Glow is a more than safe choice. It works perfectly on its own for a natural, perfected finish, or as a primer under foundation to boost radiance. A simple, effective product truly suitable for everyone.

The perfect eye duo by Armani Beauty

If you want a gift you can choose with your eyes closed, the Vertigo Lift + Eye Tint duo by Giorgio Armani is the perfect combo. The mascara lengthens, sculpts, and adds that coveted volume, with a lightweight skincare-inspired formula that doesn’t stick or weigh down the lashes. Eye Tint, on the other hand, is the liquid eyeshadow everyone wants: it applies in seconds, melts into the skin, and delivers vibrant, full color with zero creasing. Ideal both for those who love a simple look done in the car when they’re already running late, and for anyone aiming for a more polished, luminous make-up.

Valentino’s bold lipstick

If there’s one thing we all dream of having in our beauty bag, it’s the iconic lipstick: the one you pull out of your purse and instantly makes a statement, with a jewel-like packaging that looks more like a couture accessory than a simple product. Spike by Valentino is exactly that. Housed in a gold case inspired by the iconic Valentino Garavani Rockstud bag, it comes in 13 shades that dress the lips with a full matte finish, in a surprisingly lightweight and comfortable formula.

Lancôme’s eyeshadow palette

If you want to give a truly show-stopping gift, Lancôme’s Great Minaudière is the perfect choice. It’s not just a palette: it’s a collectible little case with an exquisitely detailed design that hides a double surprise. In the center you’ll find an eye and face palette, while on the sides two golden compartments open to reveal two L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte lipsticks. The five palette shades are inspired by the view from the window of the Lancôme Express at sunset, while the included lipsticks, Spring and Winter, are two elegant pinks that can be worn alone or mixed for a bolder effect. A gift for true beauty lovers.

Tarte’s blush trio

If you want a practical yet super cute gift, the Maracuja Juicy Multi-Stick Cheek Soufflé Trio by tarte is perfect. Inside you’ll find three limited-edition, travel-size sticks designed to add color and glow to cheeks and lips in an instant. The formula contains over 60% skincare ingredients, staying soft and hydrating all day. A spot-on idea for the friend who loves multitasking products and wants to solve everything with one stick.

The YSL gift set

The Lash Clash gift set by YSL instantly makes an impression. Inside you’ll find everything needed for flawless eyes and dreamy lips: the Lash Clash Mascara, the mini Lines Liberated eye pencil, and the mini Candy Glow 1B lipstick. The mascara has a light yet powerful formula: with just a few strokes, lashes become longer, fuller, and more voluminous. The pencil intensifies the gaze, and the lipstick immediately gives lips softness and color. A chic, practical gift, perfect for anyone who loves quick and easy makeup.

MAC’s lip combo

If you want to give a gift that never disappoints, the Topsy-Teddy nude lip kit by MAC is a must. The MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick delivers full, intense color for 12 hours, hydrating the lips and making them softer and visibly fuller. The matching Velvet Teddy lip pencil has a creamy, smooth texture that’s perfect for lining and filling the lips with ease. Everything comes in a limited-edition holiday box, ready to gift.
