All products featured on Glamour are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links.

We don’t want to scare anyone off by saying ā€œChristmasā€ already, but some of the best beauty Advent calendars are already dropping, and we just want someone to share the good news with. Blockbuster entries from Charlotte Tilbury, Anthropologie, Origins, and more are available online—and they’re sure to sell out fast (some even before the holiday season rolls around). 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? Beauty brands are offering up ones 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.
