We've Got Gifts for Every Type of Coworker

Get ready to be the most popular one in the office.

No need to wrack your brain searching for the best gifts for coworkers. Even if you’re shopping last minute because you forgot about your office’s annual Secret Santa or White Elephant tradition, we’ve got some gift ideas that will score you some major points. So you can put down the scented candle and get your coworkers something that actually says you get ’em.


Whether they’re obsessed with makeup or just need something to keep their lips moisturized, we’ve got a range of makeup gifts for every budget and every vibe. Check it out.

For the coworker that definitely wasn't out all night...

Maybe they had trouble falling asleep. Maybe they had a late flight. (It’s called a red-eye for a reason!) Maybe a casual dinner with friends turned into dancing, then into a very late Uber home. A few hours later, BEEP! There goes the alarm. It’s time for work. 

Fake your way to skin that says “I slept for 8 hours” with a couple swipes of Future Fluid All Over Cream Concealer. It’s a hydrating, crease-proof concealer with a formula that actually helps improve the look of skin over time. And it’s available in 30 shades, so you’ll be able to find their match.


For the coworker who sends you all the best TikToks...

Shoutout to that coworker who’s on TikTok so you don’t have to be. Anybody who has opened the app in 2024 has heard of the year’s biggest blush + lip stain… and we just so happen to be the ones who launched it. 

Give it up for Cooling Water Jelly Tint, the bouncy lip + cheek stain that made waves when it dropped back in February. All it takes is a few passes of a makeup brush to create a sheer wash of buildable color that lasts all day. Its compact size makes it the perfect stocking stuffer. If you really wanna impress them, get all the OG shades in this limited-edition Jelly Tint 4-Pack gift set that comes with a free makeup brush. 

For the personality hire...

They set the energy for the room when they walk in and the vibes are always immaculate. Who cares if you’re still waiting on that one thing you asked them to do three weeks ago? Get them a makeup primer to match their energy—Hydro Grip + Glow Primer. Its hydrating, illuminating formula is perfect for a lit-from-within glow and makeup that’ll stay put all day, even if they won’t.


For the coworker who is always on vacation...

They’ve got a limited amount of vacation days and they’re not afraid to use them. Luckily, we’ve got the perfect gift for them ahead of their holiday travel plans: The Travel Stash. This limited-edition set features TSA-friendly makeup essentials including a mini Pore Eclipse Mattifying Primer (to blur pores and keep their makeup locked), full-size Lip + Cheek in Werk (for a natural pop of color), and mini KUSH Mascara for high volume lashes.


For the coworker who desperately needs a vacation...

They’re the first one in the office and last one to leave. They never say no to anything and are always happy to help. They deserve the world, or at least a loooong vacation. But if they won’t take the PTO, let ‘em at least look like they did. A couple swipes of Matte Bronzer and they’ll have sunkissed skin all year, no matter where they are. The creamy, buildable formula blends easily for a warm glow in seconds. Sure, it’s not the beach, but one step at a time.

 

For the coworker that's always complaining about dry lips...

They’ve got dry lips and they’re making it everybody’s problem. We get it. It’s winter. It’s cold. The air is dry, and somehow even drier inside the office. Gift ’em the remedy: KUSH Lip Oil. This hydrating lip oil is packed with nourishing ingredients like hemp seed, sunflower, and coconut oil so your lips stay hydrated all year round. Plus, it comes in six craveable flavors, so we’re sure you’ll find one for them. Want it for yourself? Grab the KUSH Best Buds Lip Oil Duo and keep one.


For the coworker who needs a lil' pick me up...

Let’s face it. At some point, the post-work slump hits all of us. Maybe it’s after lunch, maybe it’s because the sun sets at 4 PM now, or maybe they accidentally caught a glimpse of themselves in questionable lighting on Zoom. We’ve got the thing. Gift ’em Bionic Glow (our liquid highlighter packed with skincare) to mix in with their moisturizer for a little bit of natural luminosity that’ll instantly boost their glow and their mood. 


For the coworker that's always getting ready at their desk...

They’ve got the makeup bag. A personal mirror. A bunch of brushes. (BTW, when was the last time they washed any of those? Just wondering!) Let’s make it a little easier on them with the Ready in a Rush Set. This value set of travel-size faves includes a brightening primer, cream blush + lip color, sheer lip oil, and tubing mascara. It’s the perfect thing to stash in your desk for when you need to do a quick face. And you can choose from two options to get the shades you want. 


For the coworker who wants everyone to know they're training for a marathon...

TBH, it seems like everyone’s running these days and Pore Eclipse Matte Setting Spray is the perfect gift for the coworker training for a marathon. Hear us out: This alcohol-free setting spray is lightweight, blurs pores, and gives skin a soft-matte finish to control any shine from sweaty or oily skin. That means if anyone is filming their big moment, their skin will look healthy and not like an oil slick. Plus, it keeps your makeup locked for up to 16 hours, which comes in handy if they’re a runner who likes to put on a little blush and mascara for the road. (Fun fact: the average marathon time is only 3.5 hours so they’ll be set well after they reach the finish line.) 


For the coworker who takes their meetings on the go...

This person never takes meetings in the same place twice. Airports, cars, coffee shops—it’s impossible to keep up. Make their lives a little easier with Lip + Cheek. This two-in-one cream blush + lip color is perfect for someone who’s always on the move. It goes on smoothly, and they can toss it in their bag for whenever they need a quick touch-up. Just swipe it on and blend it out for a natural pop of color faster than you can say “this meeting should’ve been an email.”
