Best Selling Holiday Makeup Gifts

’Tis the season for gift giving! If you’re not sure where to begin with your holiday shopping, we’ve compiled e.l.f.’s best selling makeup gifts and skincare products into one handy list of beauty-full gift ideas—there’s something for beauty lovers of every level.

For makeup newbies:
Wondering which makeup products are best for beginners? Here’s the break down of our top-selling makeup products that every makeup newbie needs in their arsenal. For those just starting out, versatility is key. Multi-use makeup sticks that can be used to add a pop of color to eyes, lips, and cheeks make a great multipurpose makeup gift—it’s like three products in one foolproof stick format. Cream eyeshadow sticks with a highly blendable, smudge-resistant formula also make a winning stocking stuffer for beginners. Available in an array of shades, you can use these makeup multitaskers to easily line your eyes or apply all over your lid to create a range of looks. And don’t forget about a volumizing mascara to effortlessly add drama to your look. Look for a formula enriched with Vitamin E to nourish each lash while you achieve sky-high volume and definition. Finally, invite them to unwrap the gift of a seamless and stunning makeup application every time with our extensive collection of pro-quality makeup brushes and makeup sponges for your face and eyes.

For long-wear makeup lovers:
Behold: The best makeup products for those who are in it for the long haul with their look. Prep and prime your skin while locking in your stunning look with a makeup primer. You can choose from our poreless primer, hydrating gel primer, luminous primer, acne-fighting primer, and so many more. A long-wear retractable eyeliner pencil is also a must for adding bold pigment to your eyes, whether you want to line your lash line, waterline, or create an intense winged eyeliner look. Complete your dramatic eye look with a waterproof mascara that holds your lashes’ curl all day. For long-lasting, sheer color on your lips, toss in a budge-resistant glossy lip stain that wears comfortably and delivers a hint of sheen.

For skincare fanatics:
For your BFFs who love their skin as much as their makeup, treat them to a cc cream with SPF 30—aka, a protective foundation that’s infused with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides to deliver skincare benefits along with medium-to-full coverage for a natural-looking complexion. And the ultimate beauty gift that keeps on giving? Healthy, hydrated skin. Create a gift basket packed with a collection of hydrating skincare essentials (cleanser, face cream, eye cream, lip mask, and more) to give your favorite skin-loving gurus a total routine overhaul for the dry winter season.
