You’re still no where close to buying those Christmas pressies are you? Let me help you with Make Up Gift ideas that are guaranteed to be a ‘Super Hit’!

There’s not much in make up that you could buy without doubting your self or wondering wether the person would like it. There have been times when I’ve recycled makeup gifts cause it’s just not my type! Not all make up can be or should be gifted. Here are a few things which are always welcome. You can easily pick either or all of these to gift this Christmas. I promise you, it’ll never get recycled.

Red Lipsticks

Wether it’s a glossy red, or a matt or a liquid lipstick, a RED is always a staple in a makeup kit. Go for a known brand / brands so that it doesn’t look cheap. You don’t need to go luxury if you do not have a budget. The drugstore brands are super affordable and last a very long time! I personally have 4 Luxury Red Lippies and probably a dozen drugstore ones. But you know what? I’ll still be dancing with joy if I receive a Red Lipstick!

Bronzers

Girls love to contour. This isn’t a quote, it’s a fact! The moods for contouring change and so does the shade of the bronzer. This makes it safe for you to pick up any bronzer of your choice as a gift to your MakeUp Junkie friend! Go ahead and buy it, she’ll love it!

Mascara’s

This again is one of those staples that you can have more than one of in your make up bag. You get volumising one’s, you get lengthening ones’s, you get both these qualities in one. There are a lot of options. You can’t go wrong with a mascara. Try not to gift a water proof mascara. Most women may not use water proof eye make up. stick to the regular ones and you’ll be fine.

Bourjois Volume Glamour Push Up AED 69

Eye Shadow Palettes

I have 3 or more palettes open in front of me when I decide to doll up. Really! Diffrent Palettes have diffrent shades of shadows. Some are themed some are random so no palette will be unwelcome. this is a fool proof gift for the Make Up Addict!

Make Up Brushes

We love a good set of brushes. The lifeline of a makeup brush is approximately a year or maximum a year and a half. So gifting a brush set is always a good idea. Unless it is a very cheap set of brushes, this item is highly unlikely to get recycled.

Lottie Metallic Limited Edition Brushes – AED 199 – VIRGIN MEGA STORES

Two Faced Teddy Bear Hair Brush Sets – AED 330 – SEPHORA

A Beauty Blender

An absolute must have. Any makeup lover will vouch to have at least one in their make up kit. There are various brands who have beauty blenders. Choose what ever you like, it’ll always be welcome.

Beauty Blender – AED 80 SEPHORA

Pro Blending Sponge – Inglot

Eye Pencil

The safest bet for an eye pencil would be either a black, blue or a brown. This is providing we’re playing the safe game. You cant go wrong with an eye pencil. I suggest buy all the 3 colors.

Makeup Forever AED 95 Sephora

Inglot Kohl Pencil – INGLOT
