Makeup presents for Christmas

For mothers, grandmothers, your Secret Santa friend, a present for a friend or for your work mates. Why not? Makeup can be a good idea for party presents. A good time for the elves to find new seasonal colours and give them to your loved ones as a different way to look after themselves and feel better. A creative, original gift that will also renew our makeup bag with the latest trends.

The ideal complement for any of these gifts is a video tutorial on how to apply makeup, ideas to combine shades, or a step by step guide to keep our new items in perfect conditions for longer.

A permanent lipstick kit

Over time, fashion and different consumer requirements have given way to different types of lip makeup. Juicier lips, high gloss, lifting effect... One of the products in highest demand today are the long-lasting lipsticks.

And what better for these festivities than a good red colour that can weather kissing, eating and drinking? The definitive red you will fall in love with. You can add a touch of pink or burgundy to it, which are perfect for any occasion, and a nude for when we want more discrete makeup, success is guaranteed!

Here are some ideas from Maybelline, that stay on for hours and hours.

An eye kit

Eyeshadow assortment, eyeliner, mascara and eyebrow pencil. 

A good lipstick, but also smoky eyes can turn any bad day good. If you have to give a makeup fan a present, prepare a pack to highlight their look. Combined eyeshadow, a new mascara for more volume, an eyeliner to mark their eyes and an eyebrow pencil to frame it all. The eye kit is an option to encourage them to create new looks.  New colours or new techniques to lift our eyes, not only for the weekends, but on weekdays too. Why not? What’s more, as we already know makeup expires and eyeshadow also goes out of fashion, or sometimes doesn’t colour the same as in the beginning, meaning that a complete new kit to highlight our look is always welcome. 

• With eyeshadow, for example, we can choose between the basic set with a variety of shades, which are ideal for someone just starting out in the world of makeup, a fantasy assortment for Christmas festivities, or a foundation colour as a reference and then playing with different shades and finishes. 
• With eyelash masks you can choose from with collagen for more volume, or a waterproof one or a full black mascara. Mascara is the indispensable finishing touch to any makeup, however bold it may be.
• When the time comes to choosing the eyeliner, there are also many options: pencil type, pen type, brush type. The pen type is an intermediate alternative that works for everyone, from the most advanced users and advocates of brushes, to the more novel users who prefer the precision of pencils. 
• Eyebrows are something we tend to forget when applying makeup. A good eyebrow pencil in a colour as close as possible to the colour of our eyebrows is a simple, very effective tool to cover any gaps in our eyebrows and to define our eyes. And there you have the complete set.

A set of brushes

As in any jobs, the result not only depends on the raw materials, but to a large extent it also depends on the tools we use. The same is true with makeup. Gifting or renewing our makeup brushes and makeup sponges will inevitably refresh any look, and will also avoid any risks for our skin from not cleaning our makeup brushes and other tools properly. 

They are also the ideal present for someone just starting with makeup, or to truly discover the variety of brushes and their specific uses. Special for foundation, for powder, for blusher, to apply eyeshadow, to apply lipstick properly...
