The best beauty gifts they'll love for Christmas 2023

Know Charlotte Tilbury, know Pillow Talk. The cult shade is her bestselling for good reason: the perfect beige nude that is truly suits suits all. The shade started as a lipliner but evolved into one that inspired an entire franchise. This smart kit features highlights from the range, and enough to lend a pretty, tonal glow.

For the host - or for the one who has it all already - this sweet duo from Bamford is pretty failsafe. The Geranium hand wash and lotion set not only looks chic by a sink (yes, it matters) but also is a real treat to use. The scent is clean, enlivening and gender neutral; all users will enjoy.

SpaceNK's bestselling skincare product lives in this kit. The Dewy Skin cream is loved by this beauty team, too: it gives such a beautiful plumpness to skin, as well as hydration that lasts the day. In fact, we haven't met anything from this range we haven't liked. The Rice Wash cleanser whips off makeup in such a thorough but gentle way, and the Serum Stick adds hydration in the smartest way we know.

Three suit-all shades from nail authority Mii Cosmetics. There's some magic in these polishes that mean the Red beauty team find they last longer on the nail than most (they're surprisingly chip-resistant), and give such a pretty, plush finish. The colour payoff is deliciously opaque, and the glitter shade especially twinkly.

There's lots of brilliance in Kate Moss' beauty brand Cosmoss, but the Sacred Mist fragrance might be Red beauty team's favourite. It's a heady, grounding scent (rich oak moss, cedarwood, tuberose) that's rich and comforting, designed to be worn on the skin and spritzed through the air for some zen. Don't overlook the two herbal teas in his kit: Dawn to prep you for the day ahead, and Dusk to help you wind down come night. A thoughtful - and failsafe - offering, indeed.

This smart solution-led brand has been making waves since it landed on UK shores. Their bodycare offering is excellent, and this small but mighty kit has a great offering that would make a great stocking filler. The oil-based body wash levels up shower time with its skin-softening properties, and the Bio-Lipid body lotion lends moisture in buckets to dry, tired skin.

Few hair products are worth spending north of £50 on. Red's beauty team are in total agreement, though, that Oribe is the exception. There's nothing quite like the Gold Lust range for repairing, hydrating, and giving a salon-quality gloss to tired hair. It takes only one use of the trio to notice a marked difference in hair's look and feel.

Sam McKnight knows good hair. He knows how to make a good hair product, too. The Cool Girl range is a masterclass in it, and this smart kit highlights three of its products. All the products in this range work to deliver volume - enviable levels of it, actually. Strands feel thickened. Ends feel softer. Roots feel lifted. The texture mist is a particular highlight for lasting body and movement.

As far as home scenting goes, it doesn't get much lovelier than Diptyque. This set contains 5 of the brand's bestselling candles in deluxe miniature form, giving the recipient a great chance to sample a wide range. Baies remains a solid favourite: a jammy, fruity floral that fills a room.

This little set includes some of Bobbi Brown's best-selling items (all full sized), including its Vitamin Enriched Face Base; the truly brilliant primer-cum-moisturiser.

Winter is hard on skin, regardless of its sensitivity level. Luckily, The Ordinary's affordable skincare range has the perfect gift set to help. The Balance Set contains four of the brand's hero products for clearer, brighter skin, including the cult Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%.

This Works' Sleep On It Gift Set (which comes in a sweet little bauble-shaped package) should help them drift off thanks to the iconic Deep Sleep Pillow Spray.

Olaplex has become our ultilmate hair saviour in recent years and your loved one (and their hair) really will thank you for treating them to the full, restorative range in this handy beauty gift set.
