Buying for a beauty fan who has a distinct look like red lippie or loads of bronzer is a breeze - all you have to do is stick to their preferences and buy them something you just know they'll love, or just grab a good make-up gift set containing one of their faves and give it to them safe in the knowledge that they'll have something they really like and have some other things to play with, too.

But what if you know a beauty fan who you want to spoil but isn't as obvious with their preferences? The answer lies in the beauty set of a different variety. Not make-up, but skincare/fragrance/face masks/sleep-specific products. The best home in on their niche - think Eve Lom's box that aces moisturising products, or the Korres shower gel trio that's a smorgasbord of delicious smells and silky textures.
