The 13 Best Makeup Subscription Boxes That Deliver Straight to Your Doorstep

Get five deluxe-sized makeup, hair, and skincare essentials from Eyeko London, Kat Von D Beauty, and more, with each shipment of your Glossybox, which arrives in signature millennial pink packaging. Each Glossybox features a different theme based on the month (lots of enchanted Halloween vibes can be found in the October 2021 box). 

Like many makeup subscription boxes, this one asks members to complete a quick quiz to better understand their item preferences, with the option to pay individually by the month or upfront for either a three-, six-, or 12-month subscription. Subscribers are also eligible to earn Glossy Credit from each of their shipments, which equates to cold hard "cash" you can use to purchase one-off items from Glossybox's online shop. Additionally, you'll gain access to exclusive beauty offers from the brand, plus a slew of limited-edition boxes with tons of extra beauty goodies to covet.

Cost: $21 for a single month subscription, $58.50 for a three-month subscription, $111 for a six-month subscription, $210 for a yearly subscription.
