The Best Christmas 2024 Holiday Makeup Gift Sets to Shop
Chanel Enchanted Night
When we’re talking about multipurpose palettes, this one from the Chanel Holiday 2024 release takes the cake. Suitable for both the eyes and the cheeks, the ultra-blendable formula is easily one of its winning features—especially for the purple shade, a colour that is notoriously difficult to formulate. Almost cream in texture, this generously sized palette houses colours that are inspired by the glorious natural display that is the aurora borealis. If ethereal, sunset eyes are your go-to, then this is the palette to have on hand, simply for its ease of use. Whether you use a brush or your finger, the shades blend seamlessly into one another. Unify the complexion by also dabbing some on the cheeks, and you’re more than good to go.

Guerlain Ombre G 888 Regarde-Moi!
We don’t have to tell you to cop the limited edition Meteorites—avid collectors out there would already have that on their lists. Instead, we turn your attention to another treasure in the Guerlain Christmas collection: the eyeshadow palette. If there’s ever any occasion to bring out the colours, the holiday season takes the top seat. The quad, comprising decadent tones of red and a pop of metallic copper, can offer a multitude of looks, where you can build upon the intensity. But what truly makes this piece collectable is its rhinestoned jewel case, painstakingly created by French jewellery Shourouk Rhaiem.

In a pinch, this Benefit set would do the trick. A dot of the iconic Benetint on the lips and cheek, a sweep of the volumising Bad Gal Bang on the lashes, and a dusting of the ever-reliable Hoola, and you should be more than good to go. If you’ve been sleeping on Benefit, this will be the wake-up you need—trust us.

Laura Mercier All Set For Flawless Translucent Loose Setting Powder & Puff Jumbo Duo
One thing we won’t ever skip is the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. For RM50 more than the average size, you’re going to get almost double the product in this set. This mega pack is going to last you a lifetime if you’re the kind to lightly set your makeup. However, if you’re a baking queen, then this will be just what you need, even for the value alone. Additionally, it comes with a huge velour puff that is just the tool that you need to complete your baking ritual. Unlike the ones that we tend to cast aside, this one is an artistry-level tool that delivers the powder in an even coat without creating creases in the makeup.

Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Sequin Finish
Remember how this completely took over the interwebs? Well, Dior is returning with more shades this season, and we say it’s time to pick one up. Perfect for the festive season, this liquid lip elegantly transforms from a lush matte colour to a decadent sequin finish that makes the lips look like it’s peppered with delicate stardust. Both long-wearing and transfer-resistant, the lip colour will be a real head-turner over the holidays and beyond. The best part? You won’t even feel the sparkle—it’s just that comfortable. With 10 shades to choose from, we bet there’s going to be one colour (if not more) that will tickle your fancy.

MAC Cosmetics Eye-Con Status Lash + Liner Duo
We get it—sometimes zeroing in on the right colour for someone else can be a tricky task. But you know what everyone will definitely need? Some black liner and mascara. For that, MAC Cosmetics takes the cake with this set that features their highly innovative and best-selling MAC Stack Mascara, as well as their smudge-resistant, waterproof, and transfer-proof Colour Excess Gel Pencil Eye Liner in Glide or Die. It’s the perfect pair to gift to a friend who loves a strong eye look.

Tarte The Golden Era Amazonian Clay Collector’s Set
While we are fully in the complexion and skin era, let’s not discount the impact that really great eyeshadows can have on the overall look. Tarte’s Amazonian Clay eyeshadow formulations are some of the most reliable ones out there. The mattes are smooth and blend seamlessly, while the shimmers are pleasingly eye-catching. The best part? This is a set of three, so you can easily shop for three of your best friends in one go, or you can split it. Even if you opt to keep them all to yourself, each palette offers unique enough colours that you can reasonably do that. Did we also mention just how portable these are? Case closed.

Give the gift of a unified complexion to a friend by getting them this full meal deal from DECORTÉ. The White Bliss collection, priced at RM300, is actually worth RM642. Complete with a glowy face primer, a lovely, finely-milled loose setting powder, an eyeshadow palette that features four romantic hues, and a plumping lip serum that nourishes and smoothes the lips, the collection is going to be one of the standouts in their gift pile for sure.

Hourglass The Eye Edit Trio
We don’t need to tell you to get yourself the highly collectable (and best for value) Ambient Lighting Palette. Odds are you’ve already picked one up—or it has completely sold out. But this year, we turn your attention to this eye-focused trio. Equally as iconic as their baked powders, the three pre-selected full-sized items will be just what you need to nail your holiday beauty look. The star of the show (literally) is the Scattered Light Glitter Eyeshadow in the shade Reflect. Universally flattering, you’ll soon find this to be your favourite pop of shimmer on the lid. To complete the look, the black gel eyeliner offers great versatility so you can create a smoked-out look, a sultry pop in the waterline, or even the quintessential liner. Finally, a coat of the tubing mascara promises to give you the fluttery lashes of your dreams without awkward smudges or unwanted flaking.

Lancôme Celestial Rose Eye & Face Palette
From the mind of makeup genius Lisa Eldridge comes this limited edition multipurpose palette. Obviously the star of Lancôme’s holiday drop this year, it offers an array of six highly wearable colours for both the eye and cheek. Ranging from satin to high shimmer textures, you can build a simple, single-shade look or up the ante with more for a more bejewelled eye look. The pearly smooth formula can be built up to an opaque colour but at the same time, also blends away seamlessly. Due to that winning quality, we think this palette will become a staple well beyond Christmas 2024.

Beautyblender Stardust Blend & Bake Set
If you’re not constantly buying fresh Beautyblender, then you’re in the camp that uses and abuses their applicator to death. Either way, picking up this set is a no-brainer move. On top of the cult-favourite and award-winning applicator, you’re getting the Power Pocket Puff, the makeup blender’s lesser-known sister. With two different textures on each side, it’s the perfect tool to bring on the go. Over on the buffed suede end, you can retouch the makeup to make it look like it’s freshly applied, while the plush pink side allows for some of the best powder application out there. Our favourite features of the puff are the stretchy band (which lets you alternate between application styles) and the finger pocket (which allows for the best manoeuvrability).

Ombre d’Hermès
In the mood for some muted tones? Then 11 Ombres Minérales could be the one you’re looking for. Here, the everyday neutrals take on a new form as hues of soft navy blue and green make their appearances. With the more wearable tones of their colour family, the quartet could serve as an entry point for future, more colourful eye looks. Effortlessly suitable for both day and night, 11 Ombres Minérales can take its wearer to a truly warm place with the sun-kissed brown and glitzy gold, but also turn cooler with the other two colours.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Blush Lip Set
A pro lipstick wearer never skips lip liners. That’s why instead of only handing them one part of that routine, it’s best to gift them an entire lip look. Packaged here are two complete lip pairings that will fit perfectly into anyone’s lip wardrobe, as they can go into it to blend and create their own colours from the four products. Of course, you always have the alternative to split the pack and gift it to more than one person. The ABH lip liners are hands-down some of the best in the market, and the two colours included here are the perfect daily shades. On the other hand, the newer Lip Velvets are going to be a dream come true for those on the hunt for a comfortable matte texture. It offers a full-colour punch we love to see in liquid lipsticks while wearing away gracefully throughout the day, which means when it comes time to refresh the lip, you won’t have to battle a totally dried-out lip.

Rare Beauty Mini Blush & Luminise Trio
Yes, these last forever. Yes, they pack a vibrant punch. And yes, you’re going to want the set exclusive shade, especially if you (or your loved ones) are a collector. Since it’s in the mini format, it won’t be as decadent a splurge and it makes for the perfect stocking stuffers if you choose to break up the individual products. Super blendable and ultimately long-lasting, the selection of the blushers and a liquid highlighter are inspired by the brand’s viral dewy blush trick. The new colour, Beloved, is a stunning shade of oxblood that we guarantee will be a shade you want to wear beyond this festive period.

Bobbi Brown Dual-Ended Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks
So long as this formula remains the same, we will continue to sing high praises for these ultra-convenient shadow sticks from Bobbi Brown. Perfect for the on-the-go beauty lover in your life, one only needs to swipe and blend to create an easy eye look. This one comes in special edition packaging, as well as a couple of seasonal colours to add a little festive delight to your Christmas gifting.

Fenty Beauty It’S Riri SZN 3-Piece Lip Set
We’re practically guaranteed to receive greatness with every new Fenty Beauty lip product launch, and this 3-piece set is a dream for those with a penchant for different textures and finishes. It’s a big plus if you’re a fan of Rihanna because the shade included in here is the icon’s signature rose mauve, which just so happens to be a colour that will pop against the widest range of skin tones. Similar to many other bundles listed, it can be gifted both as a set or as individual pieces. Either way you slice this set, one thing is for sure: everyone comes out a winner.

Huda Beauty Obsessions Eye Kit
The brand doesn’t miss, and this set has all the makings of being a hit during the Holiday period. While each of the makeup included here are part of Huda Beauty’s permanent range, it does come with a limited-edition pouch that houses the two items snugly. The Creamy Obsessions nine-pan eyeshadow palette hosts a mix of interesting textures that bring out the adventurous in you—all without forsaking performance. You’d be surprised by just how easy and impactful the palette can be. As a cherry on top, the set also includes a mini of the viral One Coat Wow Mascara that will make your lashes appear longer and more defined.

Pat McGrath Labs Lust: Gloss Duo Limited Release: Nude Mood Mini
We’re pretty sure that anything Pat McGrath Labs is on everyone’s wish list this year. As we wait for the Taylor Swift lippies to be available on our shores, we’re going to have to settle for the next best thing from the Dame: her gloss formula. This limited-edition pairing gives the best of both worlds. Wear Flesh 6 (a rich rose brown) on its own, and use Nude Venus (a warm nude pink nude with gold pearl) as a topper to create some of the most reflective and juicy lips.

Kosas Blush is Life Trio
The name cannot be more accurate. For the past couple of years, blush has taken a front-and-centre role in many beauty routines. And Kosas, too has been on the rise. One of their latest drops is the brightening blush, and here, you’d get three options: a baby pink, a warm coral, and a muted mauve. For a little over what you’d pay for a single full size, you would get three minis in the set. And because it’s a baked formula, each is going to last long. It’s both buildable and long-wearing, so each application would not take much or will need much of a touch-up.
