The holiday season is officially here, meaning it’s finally time for trips to the mall, present-wrapping, and lots of gift-giving. It can be tough to come up with gifts sometimes, especially if it’s someone you’ve given gifts to for years.

Luckily, there’s a lot of great new products on the market to hopefully make your life a little easier – especially if you have a friend who loves makeup. If you have a beauty-obsessed bestie, chances are, she’s a little easier to shop for than most. With that, here are 15 ideas that any makeup-loving gal (or guy) would certainly adore. 

1. Naked Flushed | Urban Decay

For any fans of the OG Naked palette, this bronzer, highlighter, and blush compact is the perfect accompaniment. $32, Sephora.
