Best Beauty Gifts For Every Personality Type

12 Beauty Gifts to Buy For Every Personality Type in Your Friend Group

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Gift-giving season isn't always easy. We're not saying this just because of how hard buying gifts can be on your wallet and bank account, but also because presents are more often appreciated when they're bought with details about the recipient's personality in mind. That means that if you're someone with a large network, buying personal gifts for everyone you know can seem pretty overwhelming.

But overwhelming doesn't mean impossible. There are plenty of ways you can specially tailor a gift to your friends or loved ones, including buying said gifts based off of their personality types — especially if they like beauty products. Read ahead for suggestions on which kinds of beauty gifts you can buy for every personality in your friend group.
