The One Who Has Mastered Winged Eyeliner: Help them continue their makeup mastery

Their makeup game is absolutely flawless, and they are always trying out new looks. Gift them an eyeshadow palette from one of their favourite brands, or go with bestsellers by Fenty Beauty, Huda Beauty, or Urban Decay. You can also give the gift of custom makeup – Bite Beauty Lip Labs can create personalized lipstick shades (plus you can pick your own finish and flavour)!

The One Who Takes Skincare Shelfies: Provide the coolest tools for serious self-care

Skincare junkies have multi-step regimens and basically have a degree in chemistry from the way they talk about pH balances and acids. Don’t mess around with their skin biomes with products that might irritate them or clash with what they currently use. Take the safe route and get them gadgets to complement their routines. Mini fridges are perfect for storing precious elixirs. Gua sha scrapers made of semi-precious materials like jade, rose quartz, or obsidian are lots of fun to use. Lastly, light therapy masks are the gift pick of the season.

The One Who Has Everything: Elevate their everyday with luxe fabrics and scents

The hardest people to shop for are those who already have the latest products or want for nothing. Look at their everyday products and upgrade them to the highest level. Everyone wears socks, so why not get designer cashmere ones? Or, create an aura of fragrance around them that is as unique and wonderful as they are. Perfume coffrets allow them to try different options and discover the one they like best. Alternatively, a selection of high-end candles will provide their homes with a signature scent and make their space extra special.
