Christmas Present Ideas

Welcome to the season of sparkle and joy! As the festive spirit takes over, what better way to celebrate than by giving the gift of glamour? This Christmas, immerse your loved ones in a world of beauty with my carefully curated makeup gift guide.

Whether you're shopping for a makeup enthusiast or someone just starting their beauty journey, we've got the perfect picks to make their holiday season merry and bright.

Of course I'm starting this years holiday gift guide with my own eyeshadow palette. Following the sellout of my first eyeshadow palette Bridal Eyes in 2021, I'm over the moon to have released Bridal Eyes II into the world. A matte black palette with nine highly pigmented colours in a range of matte, shimmer, and metallic finishes. As with anything in my makeup kit, it was important that my palette was also vegan and cruelty-free; a non-negotiable. 

It'll be no surprise to hear that my favourite part of makeup is eyes - it always has been! As well as Bridal Eyes II, most makeup lovers would be over the moon to find either the Anastasia Beverly Hills Romance eyeshadow palette or the Ciate London Brazilian Glow palette under their tree this year. Both options include festive shades with options for both neutral or bold colours - you decide! 

Christmas is for kisses and cheersing together glasses to toast in the new year, but you want to make sure your lipstick pops! One of my favourites for the holidays comes from VE Cosmetics. I adore their lip drip in the shade Brugmansia, bringing you the sheerest pretty shimmer ever which can be worn on its own or over other lipsticks. If shimmer is your thing (come on, it's Christmas - OF COURSE IT IS!) then I also think you'd like the Magikal Essense Liquid Multichrome Liquid. Personal favourite is Love Has Power!

Lip treats for Christmas gifts come no better than Charlotte Tilbury! Some of these gift sets are already such a good price, and you can get a cheeky discount using my affiliate code too. Merry Christmas from me to you! I love the Pillow Talk Mini Bauble gift for just £14.00, and the Iconic Trio of Mini Lipsticks for £29.00. All are 100% suitable for holiday parties and celebrations, from nights out to nights in! Use msmoomakeupFA4HF for your Charlotte Tilbury discount.

Prepping your skin to provide the perfect canvas is super important for Christmas parties, and you'd better be including Urban Decay in that. I've recently been loving their Vitamin C Setting Spray for a little extra spritz of hydration and glow before applying makeup. I'd also grab a hold of their Jet to Set Kit; the superpower duo of both their OG All Nighter Setting Spray and Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I wouldn't be without either of these items in my personal and professional makeup kit. 

Now tell me, where are you gonna put all this swag when Santa delivers in? Surely not in that grotty old makeup bag you've had for WHO knows how long? Grab yourself a gorgeous drawstring bag from The Flat Lay company. My favouites are the Classic Black, or if you're a little fiery, their leopard print is rawrsome!

Now the time has come to rest your beautiful face to sleep, so make sure you take off that makeup before bed so Santa doesn't swap you over to the naughty list! Get yourself some Camomile Eye Makeup Remover to soak even the most stubborn of waterproof mascara off, and some Vitamin E Cream Cleanser and Toner to treat your skin to some essential hydration. Also; joy to the world! They now have a refill scheme for SO many of their products. Read more here.
