Christmas 2019 is shaping up to be a bumper year for some really beautiful makeup gift sets and collections, with options for all budgets and skin tones. It’s the season to push the boat out and look for a few little luxuries for your nearest and dearest, and maybe something nice for yourself for the party season too. Here’s my bumper gift guide for the best value makeup and beauty kits and sets around right now.

There are a couple of spendy treats on the list but they’re excellent quality and I think you’d get a lot of wear out of them. All the rest are well under £30.00 thanks to the generous pricing that cosmetics companies tend to give you in the festive season, combined with some Black Friday and pre-Xmas sales and offers. Snap them up!
