The offerings range in price—from luxurious beauty brand clé de peau’s The Foundation and its jewel-like Lip Glorifier to more affordable options like Elf Cosmetics’ No Budge Matte Shadow Stick.
Many brands have also taken it upon themselves to launch beautifully packaged holiday collections. Limited edition kits come from Laura Mercier, NARS Cosmetics, and bareMinerals. While some companies went with a more traditional aesthetic—bareMinerls for one embraced snowflakes on its packaging, others channeled festivity in a different way. Laura Mercier, for example, embraced elegance in pink and gold colorways.
HipDot’s Eyecons Sculpted Pigments might catch the eye of individuals who are looking for one-of-a-kind cosmetic gifts. This is the first-ever 3D eyeshadow and the range was done in collaboration with Care Bare, adding a nostalgic element.
