Christmas Beauty Gifts For The Make-Up And Skincare Addict In Your Life

Charlotte's Tilbury's Magic Cream is the main character of the skincare world. Formulated backstage using the face of supermodels as her canvas, Charlotte created a moisturiser that hydrates, plumps and combats fine lines, all in one. Magical indeed.

Non-surgical 'facial toning' is a murky world, but Foreo's Bear shows some promising results with consistent use. It uses microcurrents to target over 65 muscles in the face and neck, which give smoother, more taut-looking skin. It's also a genuine joy to use.

With a name that'll make them grin, the Better Than Sex mascara by Too Faced is iconic. It stretches, lengthens and curls lashes, for extreme volume, minus the clumps.

Featuring a range of matte, satin, metallic and iridescent shades, this eyeshadow palette is the only one they'll ever need.

The Fenty Gloss Bomb made the rounds on TikTok for its instant plumping effect, hint of colour and gorgeous finish.

Push the boat out and treat them to a whole year of Glossybox treats. Five beauty products worth over £50 will be delivered each month, giving them the opportunity to enjoy goodies from iconic brands, as well as discover new gems. A beauty lover's dream.

Expect your skin to look fresher and brighter instantly and to be prepared for maximum serum and moisturiser absorption. This handy tool even cools and soothes your skin afterwards. We can't think of many greater gifts than new skin, this Christmas.

If there's any product you'll want to keep to yourself this Christmas, it's this. This bath oil is the closest to an at-home spa you'll get. A soul-soothing capful of this oil under a hot, running tap fills the entire room with the most blissful scent (that lingers long afterward). Skin feels delicately hydrated after too (there's no oily residue here).

There's no denying fragrance is a tricky one to buy for gifting, but Marc Jacobs' Perfect Intense is one of the most failsafe. A 'warmer' take on a floral, this features pink pepper, daffodil and jasmine. It feels easy to wear and will reel in compliments all night long.

A Kiehl's favourite, Creme de Corps has had a festive makeover. Too many body creams are quick to say they're fast absorbed, but this one really is. It absorbs beautifully and leaves no residue; just happy, hydrated skin is left in its wake.

There are few things as a) iconic, and b) as beautiful as Chanel No.5 This year, you'll find it housed in an appropriately festive (and chic) gift box. Fans of the fragrance will notice the label has had a makeover to mark its 100 years too, making for a true collectors item.

Take out the guesswork and let them choose.

A rainbow of reds, nudes, pinks and peaches, Gucci's lip vault contains 25 shades in a host of finishes.

Know somebody hooked on this cult favourite serum from Estee Lauder? Gift them two; you'll save £32, and they'll be (naturally) thrilled.

Pat Mcgrath knows how to make a good lipstick. The MatteTrance formula feels velvety matte on the lips: comfortable, non-drying and reapplies well. This warmer-toned red is one for any fan of a red lip.

L'eau A la Rose Eau de Toilette is the latest offering from master perfumer Maison Francis Kurkdjian. If she loves fresh, floral fragrances with a clean musk finish, this fragrance inspired by a painting of Queen Marie Antoinette will make her feel regal.
