The makeup advent calendars you need to know about this festive season
The Christmas season calls for suitably festive makeup looks.
In Yuletide, it’s all about glitter and glamour with striking smoky eyes adorned with shimmering sparkles and vibrant burgundy lips. It’s a time to get creative and so you’ll need the tools to make that possible.
Since the humble beauty advent calendar was released back in 2013, modern beauty advent calendars have become anything but.
Each year, the numbered boxes get more lavish, extravagant and packed with more beauty products than we know what to do with - all while costing a pretty penny in the process yet offering savings compared to purchasing each of their contents individually.
There are beauty advent calendars from all the major beauty brands and spotlighting fragrance, skincare and for the purposes of this roundup, makeup.
Not only will you find dedicated countdowns filled to the brim with cosmetics from the likes of Charlotte Tilbury and Benefit, but retailers from Liberty to Cult Beauty collate the bestsellers from their hallowed beauty halls (virtual or otherwise) that combine makeup and more to give you a bumper pack of cult brands and new lesser-known labels to discover so you never know what you’re going to get.
Make it feel like Christmas morning each day in the run-up to December 25 with the best makeup advent calendars below.
