Hi my loves!
With Christmas literally round the corner, I thought I'd share some of my personal recommendations for some makeup gifts! These would also make a perfect gift to yourself (you deserve a treat).
In no particular order..
Iconic London - prep, set, glow setting spray
This is perfect for dewy makeup lovers. It has the perfect amount of glow that you’d want in a setting spray. It’s iridescent sparkles are so small that it blends in so nice into the skin and you don’t need to worry about looking strange with specs of glitter over your face!
I’ve literally almost used up my second bottle of this product and I cannot wait to repurchase my next one! This product does also come in a travel size which is 30ml (£12) or the full size bottle which is 120ml (£24). Both of these links are affiliated (I would make a very tiny amount from this). You can also use the code "LFTFDILS' on Lookfantastic!
Danessa Myricks - the lightwork 6 freedom palette
I loveeee the quality of Danessa Myricks eyeshadow. This palette is no exception. It’s got 3 sections, the pinks, blue (cool tones) and the green (warm-ish tones). This palette can be taken apart so if you wanted to travel with just the pink/blue/green section, you can. I think this is quite innovative!
Aside from the formula, this palette is such a fun colour story! This is perfect for the people that love to add colour to their looks. This would also make a nice palette for people who want to dip into colourful shimmers but are a little afraid to. The formula sits so comfortably on your eyes, making it perfect to use for beginners as well. You can definitely build these shimmers up or go more light-handed if you wanted to. I’m definitely going to have to do some makeup content using this palette for TikTok!
This retails for £142 and is available at Sephora and Beautybay.
Arttitude Cosmetics - Metamorph eyeshadow palette
If they loveee indie brands, then this brand should definitely be considered! Arttitude Cosmetics is a fairly affordable UK indie brand and run by an absolute gem of a person!
This palette is so gorgeous and will be perfect for spring and summer! However, this can also be used during winter to create some lovely cool toned looks. The formula of the mattes feels very buttery and is so easy to blend. The shimmers are STUNNING!! The quality of these shimmers is literally chef's kiss! This is another product I'm going to have to make a dedicated review/GRWM because it really does deserve the spotlight!
Arttitude Cosmetics has a lot of other makeup products they sell. Another item I really recommend is their lip oils - they are so comfortable on the lips and actually feel pretty hydrating. They're not heavy or sticky, which honestly makes me so glad because it seems so difficult to find a good quality lip oil! There are several different scents available and so far, I've used up around 5 of the lip oils from Arttitude Cosmetics (which means I'm due for an order soon).
Kaleidos Cosmetics - The Escape Pod
If you're buying makeup for someone who isn’t afraid of some colour, I highly recommend this palette from Kaleidos. Everything I have tried from this brand has been amazing!!
The reason I love this palette is because of the formula. The mattes are buttery smooth, so blend very easily. This makes it a good beginner-friendly palette as well. The shimmers are so stunning and you can create some really amazing looks with this palette! There are still a few neutral shades available within the palette making this quite a versatile product.
If you want to gift something to someone who prefers more neutral tones, you should check out some of their quads! Cold brew & Venus trap are 2 very neutral palettes that are available. The formula on these is also phenomenal and so easy to blend making it perfect for everyday use.
They also sell other categories of makeup; lip products (liquid lipsticks, lip glosses), eye liners, highlighters (iconic product), blushes, & contour. The highlighters are stunning and would also make a great gift alongside the palette. If I could, I would own everything from the brand because they are just that good!
Summer Fridays - lip butter balm
Out of what feels like hundreds, Summer Fridays lip balm is one of the few lip balms I would ACTUALLY recommend. It acts like a true lip balm should and hydrates your lips while making them feel and appear soft. They have so many different scents in these butter balms. I'm currently obsessed with their minis. Literally look at how cute this set is!!!! They also smell soooo good!
Now some people don't class lip balms as a makeup product but these are tinted so can be used to add a touch of colour! I have loved using these so far and pairing them with a lip liner is such an easy look for everyday! Hands down, one of the best lip balms I’ve tried in a while.
I bought a few different sets from Cult Beauty and I’m glad I did. They are quite a pricy product as one retails for £22. However, it’s definitely worth picking up the sets which are available right now as you’ll be able to save some money!
These are the few products I recommend for now. If you are gifting any of these, I hope the receiver loves them and enjoys these products as much as I have and continue to.
Happy shopping my loves 🖤
