TikTok-Viral Gifts for Alllll the Beauty Lovers on Your List

With its endless beauty tips, solid product recommendations, and countless time-saving secrets, TikTok has influenced us to a number of trends and beauty hacks since we first downloaded the app (rice water hair rinsing, slugging our skin before bed, the list goes on.)

Fortunately, it turns out TikTok is just as beneficial when it comes to getting our holiday shopping done. But instead of flooding your inbox with videos (that’s your BFF’s job), we’ve rounded up our favorite go-to gifts to give this year that have earned TikTok’s seal of approval right here.

Beautyblender single, $20

While it seems there’s a new makeup applicator touted by beauty influencers every hour, this iconic sponge has been all over our #fyps since we’ve first downloaded the app. And for good reason: it makes primer, foundation, powder, blush, and highlighter applications practically flawless. Even better, the hypoallergenic sponge is perfect for all skin types and stages, making it a versatile, fail-proof gift to elevate everyone’s makeup routine.

Glamcor Riki Baby Face, $350

As of February 2024, “Red LED light therapy” has more than 70 million views on TikTok, with influencers and skincare enthusiasts alike showcasing masks, wands, and other red-light treatments for clearer, smoother-looking skin. Before you get overwhelmed with all the options out there, consider our fave: Glamcor’s Riki Baby Face. This USB-chargeable mask features four cutting-edge LED light therapies to combat signs of aging and acne—all in quick, painless ten-minute sessions.

Kitsch The Satin Heatless Curling 3pc Set, $18

We love a good time-saving TikTok hair hack, especially the heatless options that save our strands from excess damage. If you and/or the hair-obsessed recipients on your list are just as mesmerized by the morning wave reveals, this curling set can help make those hair hopes a reality. Simply wrap hair around the satin rods, secure with scrunchies, and hit the hay for smooth, frizz-free waves in the morning.

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, $17-$29

This versatile French moisturizer has been a bestseller for some time as a moisturizer, repairing mask, after-shave cream, and even a baby care essential. But when MUA Kevi Kodra posted a TikTok promoting the cult-favorite as a must-have travel primer, its popularity absolutely skyrocketed. Simply apply it as a leave-on mask, let it sit on the skin until it turns clear, and you’re all set for a more seamless foundation and concealer application.

T3 Aire 360 Air Styler Blowout Kit Gift Set with Luxe Carrying Case, $299.99

The secret to a majority of the perfect waves and blowouts we’re seeing on #HairTok: the right styling set. For those of us aiming to achieve those same salon-worthy results at home, T3’s blowout kit is the ultimate air styling option. This ultra-lightweight design styles with zero heat damage and long-lasting results, saving major time and skipping damage in the process.

Moon Juice Magnesi-Om, $44

If you or your loved one is just as obsessed with watching cozy night routines as we are, there’s a strong chance you’ve seen someone sipping on a Sleepy Girl Mocktail, aka a dose of Moon Juice’s Magnesi-Om with tart cherry juice, before dozing off. We were also #influenced, and the de-stressing powder is now a staple in our own rotation. It works like a charm, tastes great, and we’re confident everyone on our shopping list is going to love it as much as we do.

Dominique Cosmetics Pillow Soft Hydrating Lip + Cheek Stain, $22

Between ultra glossy looks to ultra-satisfying peel-off applications, lip and cheek stains have been pulling double duty in makeup routines all over the app. Our go-to gifting pick offers a bonus skincare benefit: smoothing, hydrating hyaluronic acid. Available in five shades, it’s also versatile enough for every occasion—set and forget for a glossy, statement look or gently wipe it away for a subtle flush of long-lasting color.

Oribe Mirror Rinse Glass Hair Treatment, $64

If someone on your shopping list has been aiming to achieve the glass hair seen all over #HairTok, they’ll love this hair treatment. Formulated with a hair-loving signature complex of watermelon, lychee, and edelweiss flower, this weightless treatment also contains conditioning agents for an optimized shine set to last through at least 15 washes. (And it’s totally okay to grab a bottle for yourself, too.)

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation, $49

This TikTok-viral foundation has inspired countless dupes, and it’s easy to see why: with over 40 shades and a magic matrix of ingredients, it’s become the go-to foundation for MUAs and newbies alike. And let’s be real: any foundation that includes three patented ingredient blends to battle signs of aging, maintain a weightless feel, and limit exposure to pollutants—all while maintaining a long-lasting full coverage finish—deserves a gold star.

I Dew Care Meet Your Patch, $22

There are countless blemish patches floating around on our #fyps at any given time, but this one checks every box when a pimple pops up. It includes 96 patches in three sizes, each formulated with salicylic acid, tea tree leaf oil, and niacinamide to absorb impurities, reduce the risk of scarring, and provide a waterproof barrier. (Of course, there’s also the added satisfaction of peeling one off, but there are TikToks for that, too.)
