Makeup brushes always make great pressies, and personally I can never get enough of them! They are the perfect solution for easy Christmas gifting when it comes to makeup lovers. Check my list of the Best Christmas Makeup Brush Sets for 2025.

MAC of All Trades Christmas Brush Set £52.50

If you want a magic little trio that feels festively luxe but still totally brilliant for all year round, this is it. The set brings together three pro-quality full-size brushes (a bronzer fan brush, a synthetic duo-fibre face brush, and a blending eye brush) in a pretty mint-green quilted bag.

It’s perfect for gifting to someone who loves a polished everyday look, and because it’s a holiday-exclusive, it feels extra special: simple, chic and totally M·A·C-worthy.

REESON The Brush Set

From my own brand REESON, this one is the beauty-lover’s little secret: two multi-tasking brushes that are soft, easy to use and really versatile. The No. 1 brush is ideal for base products (think tinted moisturiser, foundation, concealer or bronzer/blush balm) and the No. 2 is perfect for lids, powder, concealer or setting powder.

For someone who wants to keep things minimal but still get a polished look, or for makeup beginners, his little set is the perfect fuss-free gift.

Bobbi Brown Complete Brush Set

This set is all about effortless elegance and timeless quality and ideal for someone who appreciates understated, polished makeup. The brushes are ultra-soft, build natural-looking finishes and are versatile enough for a variety of looks (from everyday to glam). It’s a low-drama, classic “put-together” kind of set that feels like the kind of gift your future self would thank you for.

I adore Bobbi Brown makeup brushes and the Full Coverage Face Brush is an icon in the beauty industry. This set contains the iconic foundation brush, plus the Sheer Powder brush (another of my faves) along with eye makeup brushes. It all comes in a handy case too.

Real Techniques Everyday Essentials Brush Set

For those who want a full kit without spending a fortune, this set is the dream. It bundles everything you need to cover face, cheeks and eyes: from fluffy blush and setting brushes to a complexion sponge and eye-shadow crease brush.

Because the bristles are synthetic, it’s perfect for both creams and powders, and it’s lightweight, beginner-friendly, and cruelty-free. Great for your beauty-loved bestie who wants to up their makeup game without the stress.

Zoeva It’s a Celebration Brush Vault

I’ve liked every brush I have tried from Zoeva so far and this set contains everything you need for any makeup consideration. If you’re shopping for someone who loves playing with their look or loves a full glam routine, this vault is the one.

It’s a 12-piece brush set covering everything from base to brows to dramatic eyes, all handcrafted, vegan and cruelty-free. Basically a mini brush wardrobe – whether they want a flawless foundation, a soft contour, a smoky eye or a defined wing liner, this vault has got them covered. It feels like a lovely Christmas treat for anyone who loves experimenting with makeup.

This brilliant kit contains 15 vegan face and eye brushes for £180, and the full value is £256. It’s the perfect gift for anyone serious about their makeup.
