TOP TIPS FOR BUYING BEAUTY GIFTS
1. MAKE A LIST We don’t mean to sound all Mrs Claus on you, but make a list. Check it twice, if the mood takes you. Have a clear idea of who you need to buy for and stick to it.
2. BUDGET Alongside your list of names, write down your (realistic) budget for each person. Beauty products can rack up quite the bill, and very quickly too, so make sure you’ve got the cash you need and that you stick to it.
3. LOCATION Choose wisely. Pick a big department store where there are tonnes of beauty counters within easy access.
4. RESEARCH After you’ve made your list, figure out who the gift recipient is. Are they super glam, are they skincare obsessed, what colour hair do they have, do they like budget beauty or splurging on luxe items? The more you know, the better prepared you’ll be to buy them something dreamy.
6. COLOUR MATTERS If you decide to go with something like an eyeshadow palette (always a winner!), think about the colour of their eyes. There are certain palettes that lend themselves well to each eye colour, so try to tailor it. Blue eyes love rust and neutral shades, green eyes love purples and browns, and brown eyes can pull off anything, including brights and jewel tones.
7. SKIN IS IN For women over 25, skincare will always be a winner. A luxury cleanser, a set of muslin cloths, a few nail polishes or even a little beauty goodies hamper full of clips, travel size hairspray/shampoo/conditioner, cleansing wipes, cotton pads and nail polish remover (all the essentials that we all re-buy) is a great gift for a beauty lover.
8. STUCK? At the risk of being very ‘safe’, there’s always the reliability of a voucher. To personalise a voucher, you can pick up a nice gift box, buy a nice simple gift like a lipstick or a nail polish, throw them in together and present - all of the effort and none of the worry for you!
