Holiday Palettes for the Season.

Few gifts feel as special as a limited-edition make-up palette. They’re beautiful to unwrap, practical to use, and often designed to be treasured long after the season ends. These exclusive releases bring together carefully curated shades, from radiant face powders to luminous eyeshadows, in one elegant case. Often offering great value compared to buying products individually, these palettes combine function and luxury in a way that makes them ideal for gifting.

A round-up of the best holiday make-up palettes to gift—or to keep for yourself—featuring limited-edition designs and timeless shades.

Hourglass Cosmetics Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Collection

Hourglass returns this season with a striking partnership with tattoo artist Sasha Unisex. The collaboration brings four limited-edition palettes—Deer, Swan, Fox, and Horse—each adorned with Sasha’s signature geometric watercolour designs that celebrate the beauty and symbolism of animals in nature. Inside each palette are six finely milled powders, including new and bestselling shades. The formulas deliver a soft, radiant glow while remaining vegan and cruelty-free. With 5% of profits supporting the Nonhuman Rights Project, this collection is both beautiful and purposeful.

YSL Beauty Golden Oasis Face Palette

Encased in a soft champagne-pink compact, the YSL Golden Oasis Palette pairs three blushes with three radiant highlighters in warm, sunlit tones.

Inspired by desert hues and light, this palette adds effortless elegance to any holiday look.

Will be available in stores from 3 November, and online from 15 November onwards.
