Eight tips for luxury gifts for makeup enthusiasts

Here in the office we see a huge amount of makeup, and we don’t just sit on the sidelines watching it go by. So we know very well that brands such as Yves Saint Laurent or MAC never disappoint.

Enchanting eyes

Every makeup maniac needs an eyeshadow palette or mascara. Try the Urban Decay Naked3 palette, which contains 12 gorgeous eyeshadows in soft pinks, from light to completely dark. This palette enables you to create a simple look for daytime use or sexy makeup for an evening party with ease. 

You can also get the Yves Saint Laurent Couture Mini Clutch palette, which is available in several colour versions and shades that work well together. And the packaging? It fits in your hand perfectly and looks truly luxurious.

The last palette that every makeup enthusiast should have at home is the MAC Cosmetics Connect In Colour Eye Shadow Palette 12 shades. Once again, it’s available in three versions and we really don’t envy you the task of choosing just one. Will it be the wild Hi-Fi Colour, the fiery Future Flame or the anything but dull Unfiltered Nudes? 

If you want to make an impression with the mascara of the year, Yves Saint Laurent Lash Clash Extreme Volume is the one. A few strokes and long, curled eyelashes and incredible volume are born. It lasts all day and doesn’t come off at all. And alongside the classic black and brown, you also need an electrifying blue that absolutely won’t leave anyone cold. And if nobody you know needs it, you certainly want it under your tree!

You might even be missing out on a gift set, because, well, the more the merrier. The Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Eyes contains the iconic mascara Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Eyes, which turns you into a doll instantly, the Lancôme Bi-Facil mini makeup remover, which dissolves eye makeup in seconds, and the Lancôme Génifique Advanced Yeux Light-Pearl™ mini eye cream, which quite probably keeps your eyes youthful and bright forever.

Sexy lips

One of the most popular YSL lipsticks should be a part of every makeup bag. The Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture lipstick hydrates perfectly and is unbelievably long-lasting. It is creamy, your lips are beautifully juicy and there is no smell at all. And those shades! From pink to bright red to deep red? Who wouldn’t want such beauty under their tree?

And since you can never have enough lipsticks, and never enough MAC ones, here’s another. This MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick can withstand a wild kiss and a burger for lunch. Plus, it feels beautifully velvety on the lips. You just need to decide which shade to pick. The nude classic in Velvet Teddy, or the radiant red Lady Danger, which grabs everyone’s attention?

Bronze skin

If you only want to buy one thing, it should be the Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess bronzing palette. It contains two shades of bronzer and a highlighter, so not only can you contour your face, achieve a tanned look or brighten your cheekbones, you can also use it to lightly accentuate your eyes. The palette also includes a mirror, so actually it’s the perfect item for your handbag!

There you have it, the best of the beauty world in the palm of your hand. Which is the best gift for you? And how about getting something for yourself?
