Do you have people on your present list who *love* all things make-up? Here’s our gift guide with our top recommended make-up gifts.
Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint
Natural lips, but better! This product has a cult following for a reason – it delivers a sheer wash of natural colour, as well as nourishment for your lips. It’s available in 10 versatile hues, so every skin tone can find its signature shade, and you don’t need a mirror for on-the-go touch-ups.
MAC Prep + Prime Fix + Magic Radiance Spray
Facial mists are great for summer, as they can give your complexion a cooling refresh, as well as a dose of skin-reviving ingredients. This one also contains small shimmery iridescent particles that deliver a veil of radiance to your skin with every spritz so that it has a gorgeous glow.
Revlon ColorStay Eyeshadow Palette
Looking to give someone a small gift that will go the distance? An eyeshadow palette that suits their skin tone and their make-up personality is a great option. They last for ages and come with a range of shades in different tones and finishes, from dark to light and matte to metallic.
Essence Happiness Looks Good On You Nail Stickers
For something cheap and cheerful, you can give the gift of fun manicures to your beauty fan. An easy way to elevate any DIY nail look is to add some nail art or stickers. Essence makes a range of them, from blingy jewels to cute cartoon-like designs that can be mixed and matched.
Inglot Eyelashes
For many beauty lovers, their make-up look isn’t complete without a stand-out set of exaggerated, fluttery eyelashes. Not all fake lashes, however, are created equal. These ones by Inglot have delicate, realistic bristles (or “hairs”) that emphasise the eye area and eliminate the need for multiple coats of mascara.
Maybelline Lifter Gloss
Lip gloss makes a great stocking stuffer and is always well-received. This one from Maybelline infuses make-up with skin-loving ingredients, in this case, hyaluronic acid, which aids in hydration for a plump, soft, healthy pout. The shimmery, pearlescent finish also adds to the illusion of fuller lips – no needles necessary!
beautyblender Makeup Sponge
It’s difficult to remember a time before latex make-up sponges and they are now a must-have in any beauty kit. They can be used in a multitude of innovative ways to guarantee a flawless finish on your foundation and other cream and liquid products. Make their day by gifting an original beautyblender.
Edgars Beauty Sahara Cosmetic Bag
We *all* need something in which to store all of our make-up. This is why anyone would be excited to receive a cute cosmetics case or bag. A small one is great to use for travelling and for daily beauty essentials. We love this one with a fun animal print.
