Allure<\/em> contributing commerce writer Christa Joanna Lee applying the r.e.m. beauty Wicked: For Good<\/em> Makeup Set<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> Everyone deserves the chance to fly\u2014and glow while doing it. Ariana Grande\u2019s r.e.m. beauty Wicked: For Good<\/em> channels her character Glinda\u2019s energy from the Wicked<\/em> movie into a collection that will truly have your makeup routine changed for good (sorry, we had to). Inside they\u2019ll find the Lustrous Liquid Eyeshadow in Bubble of Brilliance (a shade-shifting lavender with pink and blue chrome), Lip Liner in Toss Toss (a warm pink that defines and shapes), Glow Stick in I Come and Go by Bubble (a hydrating highlighter with a pink-lavender sheen), and Glossy Balm in Tap to Bubble (an iridescent pink with lavender and blue shimmer). If they\u2019re all about sparkle and shine, this kit has them in spades.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me tell you, my eyeshadow and cheekbones were the talk of the town<\/em> (read: the pick-up line at school) when I wore this makeup set the other day. I don\u2019t shy away from shimmer on a normal day, but the glitter and shine in this kit? Next level. The eyeshadow, cheek balm, and lip gloss all have this shape-shifting, light-catching effect that looks mesmerizing from every angle. I didn\u2019t have time to line my lips before sprinting out the door, but the lip liner is a gorgeous reddish rose that basically looks like my lips, just better. It’s everything you need to channel your inner Glinda every day.\u201d \u2014Christa Joanna Lee, contributing commerce writer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Allure<\/em> commerce editor Sarah Han applying the Merit Flush Balm<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Sarah Han<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> In the length of time it takes to read this story, anyone could create a complete makeup look with the help of this kit. It\u2019s no secret we\u2019re huge fans of Merit\u2019s minimalist aesthetic, but the brand offers more than gorgeous packaging. The Five Minute Morning set includes The Minimalist, a complexion stick that replaces both your foundation and concealer; Flush Balm (an Allure<\/em> Best of Beauty winner) for a natural, lit-from-within glow; Shade Slick tinted lip oil for a wash of color and hydration; Brush No. 1 for seamless blending; Day Glow highlighting balm for that dewy sheen; Clean Lash tubing mascara for lifted, smudge-proof lashes; and Brow 1980 for soft, feathered definition. The best part is that you get to build your kit and choose the perfect shades for your giftee.<\/p>\n

    \n

    \u201cTOO. CUTE. Amirite? Merit’s pocket-purse-whatever-friendly Flush Balms are so easy to use because you can use your fingers to blend and diffuse them (hi, foolproof!) in, but I like picking up the pigment using a fluffy, dense brush for more color payoff. Speaking of color, the shade range is just chef’s kiss. The 13 shades are divided into three categories: The Pops, The Neutrals, and The Classic Pinks, but no matter what you choose, you get a satin, flushed-from-within finish that makes your cheeks look scrumptious. I honestly forgot how easy these are to use, so I’m looking to play with Le Bonbon (a bright pink) and Rouge (a sheer red) next.\u201d \u2014Sarah Han, commerce editor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      <\/span>Kassidy Silva<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> If you\u2019re shopping for the teen in your life, you don\u2019t need to say more than \u201cBenetint\u201d (and yes, this Benefit Cosmetics I Spy Beauty 5-Piece Makeup Gift Set includes it). This lineup of the brand\u2019s best-sellers makes it easy to create a natural, glowy look while blurring pores. They\u2019ll find BadGal Bang! Mascara for lifted lashes, Willa and Hoola minis for a soft flush and sun-kissed bronze, and The Porefessional makeup primer (plus a Porefessional Deep Retreat clay mask sample) for smoother-looking skin. And, last but not least, Benetint adds the perfect rosy tint to lips and cheeks, while 24-HR Brow Setter keeps brows in place all day.<\/p>\n

      “I waited way too long to try this viral product, and it’s viral for a reason. I use one coat on my lips and let it sit for about 15 seconds before wiping off the excess with a tissue. It gives the ideal pop of pink on my lips without looking like I’m wearing lipstick, and it’s completely weightless with no sticky residue. My jaw was on the ground after my first use, as it looked so natural. On my cheeks, I do one to two coats for a perfectly flushed look with three dots across my cheekbone, then blend it out with a Beautyblender.” \u2014Kassidy Silva, social director<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        <\/span>Lexi Herrick<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> The viral fame of Charlotte Tilbury\u2019s signature soft pink-nude shade, Pillow Talk, all started with a single lipstick\u2014and the internet hasn\u2019t stopped talking since. Universally flattering and effortlessly wearable, the shade became a staple in practically every Allure<\/em> editor\u2019s bag. Naturally, Pillow Talk is now pretty much an empire, and the Pillow Talk Icons On the Go Kit captures her most-loved essentials in one chic set. It features Lip Cheat and Matte Revolution Lipstick for the perfect pink pout, Collagen Lip Bath for glossy, plumped lips, Pillow Talk Push-Up Lashes Mascara for major lift and volume, and Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow for a dreamy wash of shimmer. They can consider all their romantic holiday looks handled.<\/p>\n

          <\/span>Sarah Han<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> When there\u2019s no time for a full face, sometimes a little eye definition is all they need. The Chanel Eyes to Impress Makeup Set brings together three effortless essentials: a waterproof eyeliner in Espresso (a universally flattering deep brown that glides on seamlessly), a lash-conditioning primer that strengthens and preps, and Le Volume de Chanel in Noir for instantly longer lashes. And while the eye makeup more than earns its praise, it\u2019s the limited-edition, star-inspired makeup bag that steals the show\u2014a chic, celestial clutch that looks straight off the Chanel runway and doubles as a gift-worthy accessory all on its own.<\/p>\n

            Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> If your giftee\u2019s main makeup mood is all about keeping things fresh and simple\u2014hello, new moms\u2014the Ilia Minis for Any Mood set is made for the minimalist. It comes with three fan-favorites in travel-size minis: the Multi-Stick in Whisper (a soft pink-peach that blends seamlessly on cheeks or lips), the Limitless Lash Mascara in After Midnight (an Allure<\/em> Best of Beauty Award winner that lifts and lengthens without clumps), and the Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon in Genre, a creamy mauve-pink that defines lips with a swipe. Together, they create a fresh, polished look that they can even pull off in the car.<\/p>\n

            \n

            “This tiny but mighty twist-up Ilia Multi-Stick is called that for a reason. Acting as a three-in-one, I start my application with one swipe of product on my cheekbones, then dab a tint of color onto my eyelids and lips for an illuminating, glow-from-within flush that can easily be thrown in my purse for on-the-go touch-ups when necessary. I’ve been using Dreamer, a warm nude that gives a post-vacation illusion.\u201d \u2014Talia Gutierrez, former associate manager of special projects<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

              Lee applying the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer & Primer<\/p>\n

              Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> Bobbi Brown made the \u201cno-makeup makeup\u201d look a thing long before it was cool\u2014and the Essentials Set is proof the brand still does it best. It all starts with the Vitamin Enriched Face Base, a Best of Beauty Award-winning primer-moisturizer hybrid our tester calls \u201cthe kind of formula that adapts to dry skin, tired skin, and everything in between\u2014and that\u2019s what makes it so good.\u201d From there, you get everything needed for smooth application, defined eyes, dramatic lashes, a natural flush, and a high-shine lip: the Mini Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow Stick in Moonstone, 24-Hour Kajal Eyeliner, Smokey Eye Mascara, Pot Rouge in Pink Flame, Mini Highlighting Powder in Pink Glow, and Crushed Oil-Infused Lip Gloss in New Romantic. It\u2019s all their effortless glam essential in one (pretty pink) box.<\/p>\n

              \u201cAt first glance, it looks buttery and thick in the jar\u2014the kind of texture that usually spells too rich. But the moment I scoop some out, it immediately melts into my skin. The texture is plush and nourishing but somehow still light enough to disappear without a trace. Then there\u2019s the scent: a bright, natural blend of grapefruit and geranium oils that\u2019s fruity and fresh. It\u2019s free of synthetic fragrance (the kind that can trigger irritation for sensitive types like me), which makes it all the more enjoyable. It\u2019s one of those products that instantly lifts your mood the moment you open the lid, yet it never feels overpowering.\u201d \u2014Lee, contributing commerce writer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> Speaking of Bobbi Brown, after stepping away from her namesake brand, the iconic makeup artist made her comeback with Jones Road Beauty. The Makeup Travel Kit 2.0 perfectly sums up her philosophy: simple, high-performing products that make you look naturally fresh, never overdone. Inspired by that summery glow you want year-round, the kit includes Gel Bronzer in Light for a natural warmth, Mini Miracle Balm in Flushed for dewy color, The Best Pencil in Onyx for easy definition, Sparkle Wash in Barely Pink for a touch of shimmer, and Cool Gloss in Pink Lilac for that juicy, just-bitten finish. The included makeup brush makes blending foolproof, and everything comes tucked inside one of the brand\u2019s signature Tyvek bags. All that\u2019s left to do? Pick their perfect colorway.<\/p>\n

                \n

                \u201cI love a shimmery shadow, and a quick-to-apply one at that. Jones Road’s Sparkle Wash takes all but five seconds to swipe and blend out with my fingers. Because it dries down pretty fast, I find that blending out the pigment works better.\u201d \u2014Han, commerce editor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                  Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> Equal parts cheeky and universally flattering, the NARS Endless Orgasm Vault celebrates the shade that started it all: Orgasm, the peachy-pink hue with a golden shimmer that\u2019s been giving skin a covetable post-vacation flush since the late \u201990s. Nearly three decades later, it\u2019s gone from a blush to an entire vibe\u2014and this vault has every way to wear it. There are nine full-size favorites to create a full look: Afterglow Sensual Shine Lipstick, Afterglow Lip Balm, Afterglow Lip Shine, Afterglow Liquid Blush, The Multiple in Orgasm Crave, Blush in Orgasm and Orgasm X, Total Seduction Eyeshadow Stick, and Quad Eyeshadow in Orgasm. It\u2019s everything they\u2019ll need to get their glow on\u2014and yes, they will<\/em> be blushing.<\/p>\n

                  “This is my everything. It lives in my purse, where it serves as my moisturizing balm, my sheer lip color, and basically my emotional-support beauty product. The color doesn’t necessarily pack a punch, but it makes me look more polished and put-together when I’m on the go\u2014and it’s also super-forgiving, so I can swipe it on without a mirror. I love all of Nars’ Afterglow Lip Balms, but this is unmatched for its versatility and ease.” \u2014Deanna Pai, contributing commerce editor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
