If you think that giving a makeup fiend more makeup as a gift is a bad idea, then you’re sadly mistaken. What you should avoid are those 50-shade eyeshadow, lip gloss and blush trunks that include only a few colors she actually likes.
Instead, look for the latest beauty products that come packaged in simpler sets, like a gorgeous nail polish and lipstick combos or a four-piece smokey eye palette. (She’d get more use out of her brand new item and it won’t get lost in her stash.)
Here are 5 gift ideas that will get you cool points with your makeup-hoarding friend.
