Awesome Gifts for Makeup Addicts

You may have a makeup addict in your life - you can tell one apart if her makeup is flawless, if you never see her without winged liner or if her cosmetics collection takes up half a room.

That's great, you know (approximately) what to get her for the next occasion! But if you're clueless about what the best cosmetics are, we've got your back with this list of high quality sets with affordable prices, sorted by category, as recommended by ladies all over makeup communities.

Let's dig in!

SETS OF BRUSHES

One needs the right tools for the trade and with makeup, great brushes are invaluable help when creating a look. You can surprise your addict with a huge set of great brushes that won?t break the bank (go for MAC brushes - or any other products - for super high quality and an appropriate price).

Coastal Scents 22 Piece Brush Set

This 22-piece set is all the rave online, the owners are always super pleased ? and it comes in a matt black case for super easy storage.

 

SHANY Pro Signature Brush Set 24 Pieces 

24 quality brushes for a reasonable price, all in a sleek faux leather case.

If you see your makeup addict wearing winged liner all the time or with eyes lined in different colors, she'll most likely love an(other) eyeliner set.

EYE SHADOW PALETTES

Eye shadow is what most women use to create stunning looks and phooey, do they make a huge list! There's no way to pick the best palettes since there are so many great ones out there, but let's try to keep it short.

Urban Decay's three Naked Palettes are a MUST. 

There's no woman who knows her makeup and doesn't want one of these amazing palettes, so if you think your very own makeup addict doesn't have one (or all of them) yet, this is the thing to get and make her day! You can find them in Sephora stores as well.

I'd love to know if you have tried or have given one of these sets to someone and what you thought of them, so leave a comment!
