Makeup Present Advice

Hi, I wanna buy my girl some makeup as a present and I’m a guy and I have no idea where to start. She seems to like eyeliner and blush. Any tips on like brands and stuff would help me out a lot, thanks!🙏

What store does she primarily shop at for cosmetics? I would suggest getting a gift card to there first, truthfully, as it's hard to know what types of makeup other people are going to truly enjoy and use.

If you really want to pick her out something nice that she will love, 1) take a peek at what brands and colors she uses often, 2) make note of what's empty, 3) grab some pictures of the shades (usually on the back or bottom of the product) she uses most of the time, and you should have enough information to get help at a cosmetic store.

She likes Lancome. And there’s a lot of blues and purples.

If she's a Lancôme fan, they're doing these big boxes right now at Ulta and Nordstrom, $89 with the purchase of another Lancôme product.

Here's an eyeshadow palette she might like:

No problem! I hope she likes your gift, and I hope I was able to help you as well!

My second link isn't working anymore for whatever reason but for reference it's the Lancôme Color Design Eyeshadow Palette in the shade Reflet D Amethyste
