Top 3 Makeup Gift Ideas This Christmas

Like lots of other bargain hunters I braved the shops on Black Friday to buy my Christmas presents, as a makeup artist in Manchester my friends and family love receiving makeup from me that I recommend and know they wouldn’t choose for themselves. Here are a few of the products I bought which might help you if your stuck for what to buy your loved ones.

Top 3 Makeup Christmas Gift Ideas

1: YSL Limited Edition Wild Collection Touche Eclat # 1

Every girl needs a bit of help this party season and this product does the business, it’s brilliant at hiding dark shadows and you can use it to add light to your face on your chin, cheek bones and cupid bow. The packaging is beautiful, the Touche Eclat shade 1 (£25) I bought is the lightest universal shade however others are available if you have an olive skin tone.

2: Creme De La Mer Limited Edition Illuminating Powder

I had to buy this Illuminating Powder (£70) it’s infused with illuminating gemstones, shimmering pearls and pigments that provides all complexions with a healthy luminous glow. I love how it’s pressed instead of loose so great for anyone on the go, my friend has dry skin so this will suit her skin type, however someone with an oily complexion would prefer a matte powder to hide unwanted shine.

3: Nars Limited Edition Holiday Lipstick

My little sister is a lipstick fiend, she has got hundreds of shades but I couldn’t disappoint her and not add to her collection this Christmas. Nars have 3 limited edition lipsticks available I went for ‘Deadly Catch’ (£19.50) it’s a deep red and I know she will love it as she always focuses her makeup on her lips instead of her eyes.
