InStyle Editors Are Beauty Experts: The 54 Makeup Gifts We’d Actually Want to Receive

From everyday eyeshadow palettes to splurge-worthy lipsticks.

Better Brushes

While makeup products often steal the spotlight, high-quality tools deserve just as much attention. That’s because, as any makeup aficionado knows, the right brushes can transform the way makeup products perform on the skin—which is why always having a solid variety of them on hand is of utmost importance. Not only do they make all the difference in blending eyeshadow and perfecting foundation, but a quality brush set can transform the daily ritual of applying makeup into a luxurious, indulgent experience. And don’t forget a makeup brush cleaner (we all know we don’t wash our brushes as often as we should!).
