These budget-friendly beauty gifts under $20 are great gifts to pick up during the holiday shopping season for makeup and skincare enthusiasts.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are ideal for shopping these cult-favorite and holy grail beauty products.
The assorted gift guide below includes both makeup and skincare options, ranging from a skin tint and face powder to vitamin c serums and brightening drops.

Hydrating Skin Tint with SPF 50

If there's one product that deserves a spot under every beauty lover’s tree this year, it's our Halo Glow Skin Tint with SPF 50. Priced at $18, this multitasking marvel has become a holy grail favorite for a reason—it delivers that coveted 'your skin but better' finish while packing some seriously impressive skincare benefits. Unlike other skin tints that make you choose between coverage and sun protection, this gem features mineral SPF 50 (yes, you read that right—SPF 50!) to help shield your skin from harmful UV rays. But the benefits don't stop there: it's also infused with niacinamide, a powerhouse ingredient known for helping brighten your skin tone.

When you compare it to luxury skin tints that can cost upwards of $40 or $50, our formula proves that you don't need to splurge to get glowing, protected skin. Whether your giftee is a makeup minimalist or a full-glam girlie looking for an effortless everyday option, this skin tint checks all the boxes—and then some. Plus, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the perfect time to stock up on this cult-favorite hydrating skin tint—whether you're grabbing one for every friend or buying backups for yourself!

Lightweight Pressed Face Powder

Meet the face powder that's breaking beauty lovers' hearts in the best way possible: Halo Glow Powder Filter. At $15, this pressed powder has earned its cult-favorite status by doing what so many high-end powders promise to deliver—creating that dreamy, soft-focus filter effect IRL. While traditional pressed powders can look cakey or flat, this innovative formula is lightweight and helps blurs the appearance of pores rather than settling into them. The result? That coveted airbrushed glow that looks like you just applied a real-life Instagram filter.

The best part? This $15 wonder does everything those $30+ luxury pressed powders do—blurring pores, adding luminosity, staying lightweight—but for more than half the price… talk about high-performance, budget-friendly beauty! And during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday shopping season, it's the ultimate time to add this cult-favorite to your shopping cart! Whether your giftee is a no-makeup makeup enthusiast or someone who loves a full beat, this face powder is the perfect finishing touch for achieving that effortlessly luminous complexion. Trust us—this pressed powder is about to become their new go-to.

Multi-Purpose Liquid Glow Booster

If you want to gift the ultimate glow-up in a bottle, our Halo Glow Liquid Filter is about to become your secret weapon this Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and holiday season. Priced at $15, this complexion booster has taken the beauty world by storm for its ability to deliver that coveted lit-from-within radiance we all crave. While other glow gels on the market can run you $30, $40, or even $50, this affordable gem creates that soft-focus filter effect in real life.

The silky, lightweight formula melts into your skin seamlessly, whether you mix it into your foundation, apply it as a highlighter on your cheekbones, or wear it solo for an effortless no-makeup glow. It's the kind of versatile product that works for every makeup skill level, making it an absolute no-brainer stocking stuffer.

Vitamin C Face Serum and Eye Cream

For the skincare enthusiasts on your list, gifting glow starts with our Vitamin C Face Serum and our new Vitamin C Eye Cream—two powerhouse products that are perfect to add to your cart during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping rush.
