As November comes to an end, we now enter the holiday season. The season is filled with jolly spirit, family gatherings, and lots of gifts. We may struggle to find gifts that live up to our loved one’s expectations or fit within our holiday budget. If you have a loved one you find hard to shop for due to their chic and expensive taste, makeup is one of the easiest and most successful gifts for them.  This article provides inexpensive makeup products that deliver quality and elegance and will spread joy this holiday season.

            Good makeup will always be the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys it. However, makeup can get extremely expensive if you’re not looking at the right brands. 

            Blush has made a huge comeback within the past decade. Lip and cheek tints have gained popularity as they serve as blush and lipstick all in one product. An amazing tint under $10 is the Supercharged Cheek+Lip Multistick found in four shades priced at $9.99. This is a gift all makeup lovers will enjoy and all shades available can be used for all sorts of occasions. I recommend the shade spice jolt for that elegant loved one as it serves a soft yet shiny finish for the blush. For a full review of the product check out this review from Youtuber Ask Candance. She displays each shade, the pigmentation and provides a first-hand look at what the product looks like applied to the skin. 

            Some of us may have heard of the viral Dior lip oil that’s taken place as the number one lip oil in the makeup industry. The Dior lip oil cost around 38 dollars, expensive for just one small gift. Ultra-Beauty released its own lip oil called the Juice Infused Lip Oil. This product is just $10 and is offered in 6 shades with a variety of colours. The product’s finish is glossy and shockingly moisturizing. The lip oil completes the makeup look and serves a chic look no matter which shade you choose. 

Cheap mascaras are very easily found but they usually don’t get the job done. Most cheap mascaras leave our lashes with fall out, clumps, or irritation. Glosser’s Lash stick is a cheap product that gives lashes an elegant and clean lift. The product costs about $18 and lasts for roughly 3-4 months. This is a perfect gift for a chic loved one as the product is successful and is delivered in the most adorable packaging including a sticker. 

All these items and brands are perfect for that chic loved one of yours. If you’re having trouble finding the perfect gift, use these links as inspiration. These items are successful and long-lasting products. They deliver beautiful touches to your makeup routine and will surely be the perfect gift.
