One of the best presents to give or receive around the holidays is makeup! It’s super versatile, and for the most part you can’t go wrong when gifting it to a friend.

That said, I’m here to help you stay on top of the best December 2019 makeup releases we’re looking forward to scooping up. Read on for holiday shopping inspiration and maybe a little self-indulgent makeup temptation!

Jaclyn Hill Accent Light Highlighter Palette

Jacklyn Hill recently dropped The Holiday Collection (2019), which includes a variety of brushes, powders, and highlighters.

The most striking piece in the collection is the Accent Light Highlighter Palette in Flare – it has warm, dark tones perfect for winter makeup and making it look like you’ve gotten a little bit of sun this season. This palette has variety and the colors of the highlighters are gorgeous!

This palette is available now on the Jaclyn Hill website, and was fully restocked on December 5th.

Colourpop Metallic Liquid Liner Special Edition Collection

Another amazing 2019 holiday collection is Colourpop’s gold themed set. It had to make my list of December 2019 makeup releases — no question!

Gold is one of my favorite holiday colors, and what’s better to rock for a New Year’s Eve party than a metallic look?

The Metallic Liquid Liner in Gold Rush is my favorite, as it’s a chic pop to any eyeshadow look, or it can stand out on its own. Plus, this gold isn’t ~too~ sparkly (not that that’s even a thing…), so you can wear it year-round.
