TikTok has blessed us endlessly. We have it to thank for bringing us Noodle's no-bones-days predictions [1], Emily Mariko's salmon-bowl recipe [2] that's shockingly easy yet delicious, viral bun hacks [3] to copy that off-duty supermodel look that's everywhere, and endless beauty product suggestions [4].
Every time you open the app, a beauty-lover has found a new obsession-worthy product, and we swiftly pull out our credit cards or run to the nearest Target or Sephora to snag one for ourselves. That said, it only makes sense that we look to TikTok for all of the best beauty gift recommendations [5] this year. From viral hot tools to makeup dupes and affordable skin-care [6] saviours, TikTok is bursting with beauty gift ideas for every person on your list.
In need of some cheap stocking stuffers you can get on Amazon for your best friends? Look no further than the Maybelline gift set that includes the Sensational Sky High Mascara that was everywhere [7] last year. Know someone on their hair regrowth journey who wants to get that liquid-hair look [8]? There's an Olaplex treatment for that. Want a gift for your newly skin-care-obsessed sibling? TikTok's favorite Cerave has a beginner's gift set that fits the bill.
You'll find more of the best beauty gift ideas from TikTok ahead. (Just don't forget to snag a thing or two for yourself.)

On TikTok, Selena Gomez [9] is being praised for creating the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush [10] (£19), and for good reason. The blush is highly pigmented and long lasting, making it the perfect gift for any makeup-lover.

An elevated, more modern version of '90s crimped waves made an appearance on the app this last year. The secret: a three-prong waver. The Mermade Hair Pro Hair 1.25-Inch Waver [14] (£69) went viral on TikTok for being quick and easy to use.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara and Lifter Gloss Gift Set
Both of the products included in the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara and Lifter Gloss Gift Set [15] (£20) have gone viral on TikTok so you know they won't disappoint. We're personally huge fans of the mascara.

The powers of Olaplex were discovered by many TikTokers this past year, and as long-time fans of the brand, we can't blame their obsession. For anyone who's yet to try out the magic of the nourishing, hair-smoothing products, the Olaplex Healthy Hair Essentials [22] (£45) is the perfect gift.
CeraVe Skin Barrier Restoring Kit for Acne Prone Skin
If any brand gets to call themselves the TikTok favourite, it's CeraVe. The dermatologist-recommended skin-care brand is beloved on the app. The CeraVe Daily Essentials Kit [23] (£35) is great for anyone who's looking to add their products to their existing regimen and banish acne in the process.
Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush
If they didn't already buy themselves the Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush [24] (£30, originally £63) when it blew up on the app, it'll make for the perfect gift. We love it for how easy it makes blowing out your hair at home.

Gisou's sweet honey hair oil may be the star of the show when it comes to TikTok, but the rest of the brand's products, like its shampoo, conditioner, and mask, which are all included in the Gisou Honey Infused Haircare Set [26] (£59), are also worth trying.
