Charlotte Tilbury – After Hours Look

If there's a sure-fire, can't-mess-up beauty gift in this world, we think it's this. Created exclusively for our Selfridges Rocks Christmas campaign, Charlotte Tilbury's After Hours Look comprises five of the make-up artist's most iconic products: Filmstar Bronze & Glow, Rock n Kohl liquid eyeliner, Lip Cheat lip pencil, Matte Revolution lipstick and Luxury Palette of Pops. In other words, everything you need to take you from party to after party. Bonus: both the palettes include a mirror that’s actually big enough for touch-ups on the go.

MAC – Shiny Pretty Things lip set

If you’re already familiar with MAC’s Retro Matte Liquid Lip range, you’ll know it’s the perfect hybrid of suede-and-matte finish, and feels comfortable on your lips all day long. With six different shades (from a pillar box red to magenta pink), this set is perfect for colour-commitment phobes.

IT Cosmetics – brush set

Sure, the brushes are great (three fluffy brushes for foundation and concealer, plus two smaller dual-ended brushes for those harder-to-reach spots), but the thing that draws us to this set most is the super-sparkly case they come in. We’ll be using that as clutch bag, thank you very much.

Armani – Lip Maestro Collector Box

We firmly abide by the motto that a girl can never have too many lipsticks, and so does Armani, it seems. Extravagant? Yes. Quite possibly the best beauty gift any lipstick lover could ever receive? Absolutely. The 24-strong collection includes every colour you could ever need and each one is super-pigmented and seriously long-lasting.

Zoeva – All Night Long Eyeshadow Palette

Finding a palette that combines warm and cool-toned shadows in one harmonious set is hard to come by, but Zoeva’s All Night Long Palette has nailed it. Each of the 15 shadows lives up to the classic Zoeva formula we all know and love – i.e. buttery soft, easy-to-blend and highly pigmented.

Giorgio Armani – Pivoine Suzhou eau du parfum

There’s a contest running here based on which is more beautiful: the scent (a light yet decadent blend of peony, musk and patchouli), or the bottle in which it's encased? We say, call it a tie and enjoy dabbing it on your pulse points, in the knowledge it will make a stylish addition to your dresser too.

///

Urban Decay – Naked Cherry Collection

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate this rather brilliant Urban Decay Naked Cherry Collection. Housing the bestselling Naked Cherry palette (which boasts varying shades of red, rose, peachy-pink and gold), three lipsticks, plus a lip and eye pencil too, if you wake up to this on Christmas morning, you’ve hit the make-up jackpot.

Christian Louboutin – Christmas Collection

Yes, you shouldn’t pick beauty products based on their packaging, but just look at Christian Louboutin’s Christmas collection. Beautiful embellished bottles aside, the line-up of luxury gold-toned lip glosses, mascaras and nail lacquers have all the sparkle to see you through party season.

Lime Crime – Holiday Lip Set

If you haven’t yet tried out Lime Crime’s popular line of velvety-matte liquid lip colours (aka Plushies), this set will give you the chance to experiment with three different colours. You can choose from nudes, pinks or red, but we love this deep mauve set.
