gift guide: plan ahead!
For Mom
Whether your mom is a makeup master, or someone who goes au natural, rejuvenating masks are the ultimate gift. Hydrating masks, like The Pastel Shop’s Aloe Vera and Charcoal Mask, help replenish essential vitamins and moisture that your skin craves, while absorbing oil and minimizing pores. And at just $3 a mask, you can buy one for yourself too.! Who doesn’t love family bonding?
Make sure to pair your gift with a moisturizing lotion for daily use, like Embryolisse’s Lait-Creme Concentre + Gloss, which functions as a primer and nourishing moisturizer in the tube, and has a gloss under the cap. Multi-use products make a perfect pair with moms who don’t fuss around with a ton of different brands. For the mom who is all-natural, ATTN! Beauty’s No-Rinse Makeup Remover Foam is a gentle way to remove makeup at the end of the day, even for those with sensitive skin!
For the Makeup Artist
What do you get someone who has everything? Makeup artists can be particular about the products they use, but there are still great gifts available in the makeup section. Organization options, like a brush tube or artist backpack, can help corral an artist’s ever-growing makeup collection.
Also consider choosing a gift that can expand their skill set. This starter pack from TEMPTU includes everything you need to get started with airbrush makeup. For the ultimate combo, give the gift of education and set them up with an airbrush workshop to perfect their technique!
For the One Who is Always On the Go
Busy travelers have some very unique makeup needs. Portable items are a plus, as well as items that make life easier. The Riki Cutie mirror is the perfect solution for applying your makeup in a pinch—like in the back of a cab.
When it’s time to pack up, the Sigma Spa Glove makes cleaning your brushes a breeze, while the MakeUp Eraser is a reusable option for removing any type of makeup with just water!
For the One Who Doesn’t Really Wear Makeup
It’s true: some people don’t use much makeup, but skin products are still a necessity, and there are products that make applying makeup easy.
