You’ve probably already spent countless hours scrolling on TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest for gift and wishlist inspiration and if you’re anything like me then you’re a bit bored with the selections.

So, here’s a curated list of viral beauty products to gift or add to your wishlist this Christmas. 

Makeup 

It’s easy to miss the mark when buying makeup for someone. 

The fear of buying the wrong shade, purchasing something they already have, or getting them a palette they aren’t a fan of always lives in the back of our minds. However, if you know your person, there are two items you can rarely go wrong with — lip care and setting spray. If you’re still weary about your selection, buy a travel size for them to try!

Below are some product recommendations that will leave your bestie feeling just as beautiful as they are on the inside.
