Consider yourself lucky if you have a beauty lover in your life. Not only will they always remind you to set aside time for self-care and a good pampering session, they’ll also be pretty easy to shop for when gift giving occasions arise.
Why, you may be wondering? Because they’ll always appreciate a good beauty gift set! So many beauty products need regular replacements, so come birthdays and holidays, you’ll always know what to get them.
With that said, not all beauty gifts are created equal. Below we’ll be sharing our top recommendations for beauty gift sets as well as some shopping tips, so you can choose the perfect selection for your favorite beauty enthusiast.
How To Choose The Right Beauty Gift Set
No one wants to buy a gift that doesn’t get enjoyed – or worse, used at all. Before you head to the beauty counter, keep the following points in mind:
- Make sure you know the brands they like. Serious beauty lovers have a tendency to be a bit picky. Find out what beauty brands they’re loyal to (or are curious about trying out) by either having a conversation with them, or having a little snoop in their bathroom. Don’t go digging where you’re not welcome though – just pay attention to products on countertops. If you’re going the conversation route, keep it casual by asking them something like “I’ve been wanting to try a new [insert product you’re thinking of getting them]. Any recommendations?”
- Choose products they’ll actually use. Great gifts are a strategic blend of exciting and practical. Make sure you’re giving them beauty products that will be of use by simply asking them about their routine. You can find out what they use by sneaking a question in the form of a compliment, like “I love your makeup! What products are you using?” or “Your skin looks amazing, do you mind sharing your routine?”
- Find out if they have any sensitivities. The last thing you want to do is trigger an allergic reaction. You can casually ask if they’re into fragrances or not, and if they have sensitive skin by introducing conversations centered around skincare and beauty routines. Ex. “I love that new perfume from [brand]. Do you wear much perfume?” or “My skin has been acting up lately because of the weather. How has yours been feeling?”
If you don’t want to ask your loved one directly to keep the gift a total surprise, you can always consult with a mutual friend or family member that can give you the answers you’re looking for.
Once you feel confident about your loved ones’ beauty preferences, you can begin your hunt for the perfect gift set.
Makeup Gift Sets
If they love expressing themselves through makeup, treat them to a set that’ll help them create their favorite looks. Pay attention to what kinds of makeup they wear most and choose accordingly.
- Makeup palette. Give them a bit of everything with a palette that features different types of makeup like eyeshadow, blush, contour, and highlight.
- Lip kit. Maybe they’re a bold lip kind of girl? In that case, they’ll love a lip kit with everything they need to make their pout stand out.
- Eye set. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. If your friend or family member loves making theirs as beautiful as possible, they’ll appreciate an eye set that defines their lashes, sculpts their brows, and makes their eye color pop.
- Mini or travel-size sets. Have they been wanting to test out a new color palette or product? Or are they always on the road? Either way, a mini or travel-size set will be perfect.
Skincare Gift Sets
Whether they’re fans of the clean girl aesthetic or they simply believe that beauty starts with a strong foundation, they’ll love a skincare moment. Help them achieve the glowing skin of their dreams with a skincare gift set.
- Skincare starter kit. Maybe they’ve been wanting to try out a new brand, or maybe they just prefer to keep things simple. Starter kits typically come with the core products of an effective skincare routine, so they’ll be good to go.
- Hydration set. Whether it’s the dead of winter and their skin needs some love or they’re just diligent about moisturizing, they’ll appreciate the added bonuses that come with a hydration set, like masks and serums.
- Glow/brightening kit. Your skin can never be too radiant. Make them shine even brighter with a set filled with exfoliants, serums, and other goodies.
- Mini or travel-size set. A set that comes with TSA-approved bottles is always handy if they’re not ready to fully commit or they have a trip coming up.
Bath & Body Sets
Skincare isn’t just for the face! They’ll be able to pamper themselves from head to toe with a bath and body set.
- Bath kits. If you know they’re into baths, let them be as relaxing and indulgent as possible with bath bombs, salts, and oils.
- Shower sets. Those that prefer a speedier clean can still enjoy plenty of self-care with scrubs, gels, and loofahs.
- Body lotion & hand cream kits. Make sure their whole body stays hydrated with hand and body lotions, milks, creams, and butters.
Fragrance Gift Set
Scent is a powerful thing. Whether they’re on the hunt for their signature fragrance or they love switching it up, they’ll adore a fragrance gift set.
- Classic fragrance gift set. Complete with a body lotion and/or shower gel so they can fully immerse themselves in their favorite scent.
- Fragrance discovery kits. Typically filled with smaller sized fragrances, they’re great for travel or at-home exploration.
Haircare Gift Sets
And if their hair is their crowning glory? They’ll want the products and tools that can unleash its full potential. Consider a more enduring gift with the Laifen Hair Dryer Gift Set. Available in two different options, you can choose the one that best suits your loved one’s needs:
