    If there's one person who deserves luxury in their life, it's mothers. No one else works harder to ensure we live our lives to the fullest. Moms lift us when we're down, praise us when we're up, and are our biggest cheerleaders. That's why for Mother's Day, we're giving the important women in our lives the best luxury beauty gifts because, let's be honest—they're the most deserving of some TLC.

    Whether your mom is a skincare fanatic or a makeup novice, the gifts on this list are sure to impress her. Some gifts like an LED face mask or microcurrent facial device will force her to take a much-needed moment to focus on herself. Other items like the Dyson Airwrap or Augustinus Bader cream will dramatically upgrade her beauty routine. And, of course, fragrance for Mother's Day is never a bad idea. Let's show moms how much they're loved and adored.

    How to Glow 4 Color Led Light Therapy Mask

    Solaris Laboratories NY How to Glow 4 Color Led Light Therapy Mask
    $115 AT REVOLVE

    If she hasn't hopped on the LED face mask train yet, Mother's Day is the perfect time to get her on board. This mask is the definition of multi-purpose with four different light modes to tackle various skin concerns. Whether she's concerned with signs of aging, dullness, acne, or redness, there's a mode to treat it. This pick is also more affordable than other face masks, so it's great for beginners who want to test the treatment.

    Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau De Parfum

    Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau De Parfum
    $168 AT GUCCI

    If she's a fan of floral perfumes, gift her the best of the best. Gucci's Flora Gorgeous Gardenia adds a subtle fruity twist to florals with top notes of pear and white gardenia, and shoppers seem to eat it up. Also, the luxurious packaging (it comes with a Gucci logo'd tote, too!) saves you from wrapping it yourself!

    Unseen amp;amp; Play Sunscreen Spf 50 Set $78 Value

    Supergoop Unseen Play Sunscreen Spf 50 Set $78 Value
    $52 AT NORDSTROM

    My mom never wears sunscreen, so I'm hoping by gifting her this set, she takes the hint that it's necessary. I have a sneaky plan: I'll convince her to wear it by telling her the Unseen Sunscreen (which this set includes a full-size and purse-friendly travel size of) works as a makeup primer, smoothing out her pores while offering sun protection.

    Private Blend Eau De Parfum Discovery Set

    Tom Ford Private Blend Eau De Parfum Discovery Set
    $100 AT NORDSTROM

    Tom Ford perfumes are about as luxurious as it gets. Each one I've tried (and I've tried my fair share) is complex, multidimensional, and incredibly long-lasting. If your mom hasn't had the pleasure of experiencing them herself, this gift set is a no-brainer. It covers almost every fragrance family from the florals in Rose Prick to the earthiness of Oud Wood, so she's bound to find her new signature scent or layer her favorites. Any of these scents will have her feeling like a million bucks in an instant.

    Limited-Edition Ceramic Pink amp;amp; Rose Gold Airwrapamp;trade; Multi-Styler Complete Long With Onyx amp;amp; Rose Presentation Case

    Dyson Limited-Edition Ceramic Pink Rose Gold Airwrap™ Multi-Styler Complete Long With Onyx Rose Presentation Case
    $600 AT NORDSTROM

    If your goal is to impress this Mother's Day, the editor-loved Dyson Airwrap is a sure way to do so. This single device will replace all her styling tools because it does it all. She can create bouncy blowouts, sleek straight styles, and defined curls all with the "click" of an attachment. And because of Dyson's next-level heat sensors, her hair won't be damaged with high heat, either. To top it all off, this gorgeous rose gold colorway will look stunning on her bathroom vanity.

    Le Vernis

    Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Color
    $32 AT CHANEL

    Chanel's red nail polish is a color she will turn to time and time again. Guaranteed. The shade Pompier is a blue-ish red that transcends seasons—it makes for a great polish for the holidays, but also serves as an attention-getter during the warmer months. All Chanel nail polishes have an oversized brush so she can easily paint her nails, plus reviewers specifically praise its long-lasting finish.

    Nuface Mini+ Starter Kit (various Colors)

    Nuface Mini+ Starter Kit
    $250 AT DERMSTORE

    Like a workout for your face, this device sends microcurrents to the deep layers of muscle under the skin to give a more lifted, contoured look over time. After one usage, she'll experience a subtly sculpted, chiseled look.

    bobbi brown nude eyeshadow palette in blush

    Bobbi Brown New Nudes Eye Shadow Palette
    $49 AT NEIMAN MARCUS

    I wish I were kidding, but my mom still has eyeshadow palettes from the '90s in her makeup bag. This year, I'm giving her a much-needed upgrade with this Bobbi Brown palette. These rose-toned nudes, which come in various finishes, are the only shades she needs to create day-to-night looks. Each shade is ultra-pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing, too.

    L#039;Occitane Almond Shower amp;amp; Hand Duo

    L'Occitane Almond Shower Hand Duo
    $64 AT L'OCCITANE

    Any beauty fan will recognize these two best-sellers from the French beauty brand L'Occitane. For starters, the hand cream may be one of the best hand creams I've ever tried. It's thick and rich and instantly makes my hands feel hydrated. Similarly, the shower oil is nothing short of luxurious, too. It leaves my skin feeling softer than I thought was possible with a body wash. Both products have a deliciously warm almond scent that is simply divine. All in all, this set has nothing but winners.

    Pure Silk Pillowcase

    slip Pure Silk Pillowcase
    $89 AT NORDSTROM

    You may not think a pillowcase falls into the beauty category, but a pure silk pillowcase like this doesn't absorb as much moisture as other fibers, meaning it'll keep your skin moisturized. It also doesn't cause as much friction during sleep, so there's less tugging on your skin (read: less chance of developing wrinkles). She'll also wake up to smoother hair, and I bet she'll sleep better when her pillow is silky-soft.

    Chantecaille Rose de Mai Discovery Set

    Chantecaille Rose de Mai Discovery Set
    $150 AT CHANTECAILLE

    Give her the gift of clean beauty that smells like a stroll through a French garden. At the heart of each product lies the rare Rose de Mai, which is packed with vitamin C. Inside the pink case is a sampling of Chantecaille's Rose de Mai collection, including a cleansing balm, face oil, and moisturizer, all made to leave skin looking and feeling more radiant.

    Squeaky amp;amp; Cheeky Duo Usd $63 Value

    Westman Atelier Squeaky Cheeky Duo
    $48 AT NORDSTROM

    This set of two best-sellers is the most accessible introduction to Westman Atelier it gets. The luxury brand, created by Jennifer Aniston's makeup artist, Gucci Westman, is all about creating a natural "second-skin" look with skincare-infused products. The Baby Cheeks blush stick is full of hydration-boosting oils so the creamy color melts into the skin. The Squeaky Clean lip balm is a hybrid gloss and treatment that delivers instant moisture and a touch of color. Both are the brand's hero products and are bound to be your mom's new favorites.

    Rose Blush Home Candle

    Jo Malone London Rose Blush Home Candle
    $82 AT SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

    Whenever I'm clueless about what to gift my mom, I always opt for a luxury rose-scented candle. There's just something about the scent of roses that feels motherly, but this also has a twist on the popular scent. Notes of basil, lychee, and musk balance out the florals so rest assured this candle is nothing like grandma's rose perfumes. Plus, how gorgeous is the vessel?

    Chanel Rouge Coco Flash Hydrating Vibrant Shine Lip Colour

    Chanel Rouge Coco Flash Hydrating Vibrant Shine Lip Colour
    $48 AT CHANEL

    This designer lipstick is celebrity-approved, with Brie Larson, Tessa Thompson, and Kate Bosworth as fans, so you know it's a winner. Unlike other waxy lipsticks I've tried, this one feels comfortable on the lips and delivers an impressive amount of hydration for a lipstick. It also delivers on the color front with a wide range of shades to suit your mom's tastes.

    Permanent Hair Removal, Mismon Ipl Hair Removal for Women/men, At-Home Hair Removal Machine for Bikini/legs/underarm/arm/body With Skin Color Sensor - Safe and Effective Technology

    MiSMON Hair Removal Device
    $190 AT AMAZON

    Professional laser hair removal does not come cheap, but you can get her the next best thing with one of the best at-home laser hair removal devices on the market. This FDA-cleared device uses IPL technology to slow down hair growth in as little as three to four treatments. It also has over 300,000 flashes— enough to tackle seven and nine full-body uses—so it's the gift that keeps on giving for a long time.

    The Skin Renewal System

    Augustinus Bader The Skin Renewal System
    $195 AT SEPHORA

    Augustinus Bader skincare is loved by almost every celebrity, so you can count on your mom to become a fan, too. This set gives a taste of what the luxury brand is about with trial sizes of the best-selling Rich Cream, Essence, and The Cream Cleansing Gel. The secret behind all the impressive results is their patented technology TFC8, or Trigger Factor Complex, which supports cellular renewal for plumper, smoother, more radiant skin.

    #oribeobsessed Hair Set

    Oribe #oribeobsessed Hair Set
    $55 AT SEPHORA

    A good hair day is often taken for granted but with this gift set, brought to you by one of MC's favorite hair brands, every day can be a good hair day. This set includes the Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner, a top-rated combo that leaves hair feeling clean, strong, and silky smooth. It also consists of the brand's texturizing spray, which can be used as an alternative to dry shampoo and gives hair major volume and grip.

    Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation

    ARMANI beauty Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation
    $69 AT NORDSTROM

    Nearly every beauty insider I know has given this foundation a rave review, so gift your mom her shade to upgrade her makeup routine. It offers medium, buildable coverage yet won't feel heavy or look cakey on her skin. In fact, reviewers praise this foundation for its natural, skin-like finish. In short, there's a reason why MC has named it the best foundation overall.

    Touche amp;Eacute;clat All-Over Brightening Concealer Pen

    Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat All-Over Brightening Concealer Pen
    $40 AT SEPHORA

    To finish off her makeup routine upgrade, gift her this cult-favorite concealer. Using light-reflecting technology, it works wonders on dark circles or wherever else you need to brighten up. It's easy to blend, won't settle into fine lines, and offers light buildable coverage. What more could she want in an under-eye concealer?

    Dior addict lip glow oil

    Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
    $40 AT SEPHORA

    If lipsticks aren't her thing, then I bet this TikTok-viral gloss will be right up her alley. The internet is rightly obsessed with this non-sticky, hydrating oil and it lives up to the hype. The non-sticky gloss delivers an instant plumping effect (no tingling needed!) and significant hydration. What's more? It reacts with everyone's lips differently to create a subtle, unique-to-you shade.

    Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick Duo

    Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick Duo
    $42 AT NORDSTROM

    Creating a multi-dimensional eyeshadow look is easier said than done. I've been wearing eyeshadow for years and it's still something I struggle with. To make your mom's makeup routine easier, gift her this dual-sided eyeshadow stick. These ultra-creamy eyeshadows blend like a dream and come in complementary shades, creating an entire eyeshadow look in just two steps.

    Gucci 25 Goldie Red, Rouge amp;agrave; Lamp;egrave;vre Matte Lipstick

    Gucci 25 Goldie Red, Rouge à Lèvre Matte Lipstick
    $47 AT GUCCI

    If she's a lipstick fan, then I bet she's always looking to expand her collection. Get her this iconic tube from Gucci, which is the brand's signature red shade. She'll love the luxurious, vintage-inspired packaging, along with it's velvety feel, moisturizing formula, and high-impact color.

    Dermaflash Dermapore+ Pore Extractor and Serum Infuser - Stone

    Dermaflash Dermapore+ Pore Extractor and Serum Infuser
    $109 AT DERMSTORE

    For some reason, I feel like all mothers have a gross fascination with popping pimples and blackheads, or maybe it's just mine? If that does sound like your mom, though, this device will be her new obsession. It uses ultrasonic technology to clean out clogged pores. The most satisfying part is seeing all of the removed gunk on the spatula.

    Perricone MD Cold Plasma Plus+ Concentrated Treatment Sheet Mask

    Perricone MD Cold Plasma Plus+ Concentrated Treatment Sheet Mask
    $105 AT DERMSTORE

    Whenever I need a moment of self-care, I like to sit back and relax with a face mask on. Moms are extra busy, though, so a quick, easy-to-apply face mask is more up their alley. This top-rated pick from Perricone MD immediately rejuvenates skin but also works to brighten, smooth, and plump with every use.

    Night Body Serum

    Moroccanoil Night Body Serum
    $62 AT SEPHORA

    With as much attention she pays to the skin on her face, she should be doing to her body, too. While deeply nourishing her skin, this serum also gets to work brightening, firming, and smoothing skin for a more radiant appearance. If that wasn't enough, it leaves behind a deliciously warm scent. If that wasn't convincing enough, one Sephora reviewer calls it "the epitome of treat yourself in a bottle."

    Lyma Laser Starter Kit

    The Lyma Laser
    $2,695 AT LYMA.LIFE

    Is mom dying to improve her skin tone, texture and overall appearance? Invest in this laser that treats her epidermal surface layer, enhancing the appearance of tighter, supple skin. It’s painless and great for traveling, so mom can beautify herself on the go. Get one for her and your favorite aunts, too.

    Hs06 Limited Edition Ceramic Airstrait Straightener

    Dyson Hs06 Limited Edition Ceramic Airstrait Straightener
    $500 AT SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

    Maybe she doesn't need all of the bells and whistles of the Dyson Airwrap but that doesn't her hair doesn't deserve a state of the art hair tool. If she prefers to straighten her hair, the Dyson Airstrait will be a game-changer to her haircare. It dries and straightens all in one go, making her routine short and sweet. She can even use this as a traditional hair straightener too when her hair is dry and needs a touch up.

    Veil of Tranquility Luxury Shower Steamers

    Purelife Biotics Veil of Tranquility Luxury Shower Steamers
    $60 AT SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

    If she's short on time, doesn't have a tub, or isn't a fan of baths, these tablets will make her shower just as luxurious and relaxing. All she has to do is put one near the water flow and let the shower steam work its magic. This blend of lavender and menthol will help her sleep better, relieve stress, and make her feel calm.

    Dual Ended Makeup Brush Set

    Jenny Patinkin Dual Ended Makeup Brush Set
    $150 AT SHOPBOP

    I'm willing to bet she hasn't upgraded her makeup brushes in years. Give her the gift she won't give herself with this set. These luxurious brushes feel crazy soft and apply cream and powders smoothly. It also includes every brush she may need for a flawless makeup application and a handy matching pouch for storing.

    Le Mini Macaron J'adore Paris Deluxe Gel Manicure Set
    $68 AT NORDSTROM

    Save her a trip to the salon with this at-home gel nail kit. The included LED light is the real draw here, which ensures her paint job will stay chip free for nearly two weeks, not to mention it's pretty enough to leave out on her vanity. This easy-to-use set also includes four all-in-one gel polishes in must-have reds and pinks, plus a cuticle stick and nail file to prep her nails for the best gel application.

    Deluxe Best-Selling Mini Perfume Sampler Set

    Deluxe Best-Selling Mini Perfume Sampler Set
    $90 AT SEPHORA

    Don't know what kind of perfume your mom likes? Let her decide on her own with this thoughtful sampler set. It includes four deluxe samples from cult-favorite brands like Burberry, Phlur, Nest New York, and more with a range of scents. She can try the variety out, and once she's landed on a favorite, she can redeem the included voucher for a free full-size bottle of her choosing. Talk about a good value.

    Mascara L#039;obscur, Black

    Gucci Mascara L'obscur
    $36 AT GUCCI

    You don't need to spend a fortune for a gift to be luxurious. Case proven: this Gucci mascara. This mascara will feel like the nicest find in her makeup bag with it's gorgeous packaging. Once you see the metallic grooved lid and pretty pink tube, you'll see what I mean. Aside from its packaging, this soft, flexible mascara gives lashes a fanned-out effect that stays smudge-free for up to 12 hours.

    Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel (30 Pack)

    Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel (30 Pack)
    $92 AT DERMSTORE

    If mom is not one to have a 10-step skincare routine, these peel pads will have a warm welcome in her beauty cabinet. This two-minute at-home chemical peel couldn't be easier to do—you simply wipe on step one, wait two minutes, then wipe on step two. She'll love how smooth her skin feels immediately after one treatment, and after 30 treatments, her skin will glow like never before.

    Kamp;eacute;rastaserChroma Absolu High Shine Gloss Treatment for Color-Treated Hair

    Kérastase Chroma Absolu High Shine Gloss Treatment for Color-Treated Hair
    $58 AT SEPHORA

    We love a quick hair gloss to refresh our dye jobs in between salon appointments. This fan-favorite from Kérastase is conveniently used in the shower so she can get that post-salon shine in as little as a minute. Once her hair is dry, she'll be left with nourished, smooth, and more vivid hair.

    image of kilgourmd on white background

    KilgourMD The Prevention Scalp Serum
    $89 AT KILGOURMD.COM

    Scalp serum isn't the sexiest gift, but hear us out. This serum stops follicles from shrinking, so mom can maintain the appearance of thicker hair over time. Think of it as a protective barrier or sunscreen for your scalp that extends the hair growth cycle. Just spray and go!
