KKW Beauty
Kim Kardashian-West released the highly-anticipated makeup set, aptly called the Glam Bible, for the holidays and it's everything one needs to channel the star's signature smokey look. Including an eyeshadow palette, blush, highlighter, cream lipsticks, lip liners, lip gloss, eyeliner, mascara and even false lashes, along with a cosmetic bag, sharpener and facial sponge, this is the ideal gift for the ultimate KKW fan.
KKW Beauty Glam Bible Bundle $150
Kylie Cosmetics
We can't talk about KKW without mentioning her sister Kylie's $800m makeup line, Kylie Cosmetics. Every product from the mogul is Insta-gold, and her own holiday collection is no exception. Although many of the items are already sold out, you can still gift the winter-inspired lip set.
Kylie Cosmetics Holiday 4 Piece Lip Set $42
Fenty Beauty
Since Rihanna launched her makeup line, Fenty Beauty, in September last year, drop after drop has splashed across everyone's feeds, such as the Killawatt Highlighter in Hu$tla Baby and the Stunna Lip Paint in an edgy, smooth matte black hue, called Uninvited. Any of these would make amazing gifts, but we highly suggest the new Killawatt Foil Palette, brimming with seven frosty shades, so she can highlight the cheeks and amplify the eyes just like RiRi.
Fenty Beauty Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter Palette $54
Summer Fridays
Influencers Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Gores Ireland started their skincare line, Summer Fridays, in January and their gorgeously minimalist and highly effective hydrating, multi-purpose Jet Lag Mask has won over the faces of many (you've probably seen the countless mask selfies on Instagram). The gentle yet rich, vegan, paraben and sulfate-free formula can be used as a leave-on mask, primer or moisturizer to achieve a glowing-from-within radiance. Their new exfoliant Overtime Mask is a must-have, too.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask $48

Plus, they look amazing in a flat lay.

Glossier
We can't talk about minimalist beauty brands without talking about Glossier, which has become the darling of Instagram. It launched its first eyeshadow product, Lidstar, earlier this year (many celebs like Beyonce and Tiffany Haddish wore it on the red carpet before it dropped), and it's perfect for those who simply want a wash of glistening color on the lids. Gift two colors for $30.
Glossier Lidstar Duo $30
OUAI
Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin's haircare line has garnered lots of attention and great reviews, notably the Wave Spray and Hair Oil. For the girl who already loves the smell of OUAI's products, she'll adore the newest fragrance range, inspired by cosmopolitan cities.
OUAI Mercer Street Eau de Parfum $56
Urban Decay
Whenever UD releases a new Naked eye palette, everyone stops in their tracks. If you know someone who needs the 6th installment of the cult makeup staple, its newest Cherry shades are sexy but sweet with warm, rosy reds.
Urban Decay Naked Cherry Eyeshadow Palette $49
GlamGlow x My Little Pony
Ariana Grande is a fan! The "Thank U, Next" singer posted a selfie in May with a glittery pink face mask from GlamGlow's collection with My Little Pony. Not only is it cute, but the mask also tightens the skin's pores and increases firmness and elasticity. The fun pamper item additionally comes in purple and black.
