It's already pretty crazy to think about how quickly this year has flown by, but what's even crazier is that it's already time to start holiday shopping again. This time of year can be a pretty stressful (and expensive!) one for a lot of us, but the good news is that holiday shopping for the beauty-lovers in your life doesn't have to be a burden on your bank account. There's an affordable beauty gift out there for everyone, and some of our favorite ones even happen to be below $50.

No matter where they fall on the spectrum (novice or pro), there's a good chance you'll be able to find a budget-friendly beauty gift for all of your loved ones. If your bestie's idea of a productive weekend is spiraling deep into an Instagram beauty feed, or if you know someone who really needs some old-fashioned R&R, there's a gift to suit. And with this mix of options that are as bomb as they are cheap, you may even have a little left over to pick something out for yourself. Holiday happiness starts right here.
