We know it’s barely fall, but the best beauty Advent calendars are already dropping. Blockbuster entries from Charlotte Tilbury, Anthropologie, Origins and more are available online—and they’re sure to sell out fast. Whether you’re on the hunt for the perfect beauty gift to pamper a fellow makeup or skin care obsessive, or you want to treat yourself, beauty Advent calendars are considered top-tier because they can include anywhere from 12 to 32 picks in one (beautiful!) package. The best part? Some even come with full-size makeup and skin care products to replenish your stash.
To help you narrow down your options, we’ve curated a list of the very best ones as they drop, selecting only those that we think are most worthy of the spotlight. From affordable under-$30 picks to luxury Advent calendars, you’ll find something to please every budget and preference. (PS: They make excellent gifts for women and teens alike.)

How we tested beauty Advent calendars
When choosing a beauty Advent calendar, there are a few things our shopping editors kept in mind. Did the set include useful products that will actually upgrade your skin care or makeup routine? We also looked for a variety of product sizes—full-size in addition to a handful of travel-size picks. Value was most important. We sorted through the individual products and checked to see if the calendar’s price seemed worth it. After evaluating more than two dozen options, these are the ones that made the cut for the best beauty Advent calendars in 2025.
