Best Makeup Gifts, Sets & Palettes 2019

Tested and reviewed — here are the best makeup gift sets, palettes, and new-for-holiday products for 2019 holiday season! If you need help figuring out what to give or put on your holiday wish list? Never fear, we’re here with an ongoing, ever-growing list of the best (and worst, if you keep going down the list!) of holiday makeup releases from lots of brands!

Below, you’ll find a list of the highest-rated products (to the lowest-rated) for the holidays, which includes individually-sold products as well as makeup palettes, sets, and other gifts. The holiday season officially kicked off with Marc Jacobs dropping the first holiday products in mid-August, but based on the last few years, expect a steady trickle beginning early September and accelerating through mid-to-late September and into October. The list below will update automatically as reviews are published for holiday releases!
