Christmas Gift Guide: Beauty Buys Edition
Our picks for your makeup-obsessed friend
Makeup is an easy but sure-to-be-appreciated option when it comes to gifting. They’re small and easy to wrap, and you don’t have to guess at sizes (although stay away from foundations and other base makeup that rely on matching skin tones).
Below, we’ve got your guide to cute giftables for your fellow beauty junkies:
Lipsticks
Aside from maybe sheet masks, lippies are the easiest and most affordable things to gift. Stick to safe, universally flattering nude hudes — or better yet, opt for sets with multiple shades for your friend to play around with.
Bonus: some brands like blk and Sunnies Face have sets with special (read: cute) packaging, meaning you don’t even have to wrap them if you’re pressed for time.
Stocking Stuffers
This kind of set is perfect for those friends or family members who aren’t super into makeup, as it can cover an entire look, from eyes to lips.
For your sister or bestie, sets like blk’s ’90s collection and Generation Happy Skin are both solid millennial-worthy options; for your mom or ninang, Elizabeth Arden and Ellana Mineral Cosmetics have skincare-focused sets in cute tita-approved pouches.
