While we wait for the best beauty advent calendars to launch this year, our team of beauty editors are here to tell you exactly what beauty advent calendars need to be on your radar this autumn. It may seem indulgent to swap chocolate for luxury cosmetics, but who are we to argue with a potential 25 days of our favourite beauty products? And this year, we can be sure that plenty of great options are sure to sell out fast once they're revealed.
May we begin by saying that, as beauty journalists and non-chocolate advent calendar enthusiasts, few people are better equipped to trawl through the countless options for beauty advent calendars than we are. We, like you, are after calendars that are not only packed to the brim with make-up, skincare and haircare from in-demand brands, including Huda Beauty, Fenty and Charlotte Tilbury, but also those that boast great value.

How we test the best beauty advent calendars
After decades of opening the best beauty advent calendars, our standards are particularly high, and we know what it takes to make a great one. To make it a fair test, we set three criteria to help us decide on the best beauty advent calendars worth investing in: product variety, price point and value for money. The latter being how much you are actually saving by buying an advent calendar as opposed to each product individually. We also review the best beauty advent calendars that appeal to a diversity of beauty buyers: for those skincare lovers, those obsessed with make-up or those who would rather spend on fragrance. Once we've considered this, we will implement a rating system, so look out for those beauty advent calendars that are Grazia-approved.
