Buying gifts for someone beauty-obsessed has never been harder. Gone are the days that a cheap glittery eyeshadow palette that smells like plastic and comes free with a useless double-ended sponge applicator cut it. Nowadays a makeup addict's collection can resemble something even a top MUA wouldn't turn their nose up at. Speaking as someone who's only defining personality trait is being way, way too into makeup, I've watched as far too many friends, family members, and ex-boyfriends have struggled over what to get me, or frantically come to me for last-minute advice for someone they know that they know loves beauty. What do you buy for the makeup fanatic who seems to have it all? What's even good? I'm here to spill the beau-tea (get it?) and make your shopping this holiday season that little bit easier.


What to look out for


First up, single-use plastic has to go. I love a festive gift set as much as the next person. But what I don't love is the ridiculous amount of single-use plastic the boxes often come wrapped in that just gets thrown immediately in the bin. We're leaving plastic gift wrap in 2019, she ain't cute. This year all Revolution’s festive gift sets are in plastic-free cardboard boxes.


Actually good, usable makeup is in. This is stating the obvious, but no one wants to receive a gift set they're never going to use again. That's why all our gift sets contain full-sized, wearable products that are the same amazing quality as the rest of our range. Less waste, more amazing makeup creations.


Cute at Christmas, cute at all year round too. To those of you that can pull off green and red eyeshadow all year round - I salute you. Teach me your ways. For us lesser mortals, however, something a bit more wearable is probably more ideal, so we can enjoy it all year round. We've created our range to be super wearable any time of the year, so your presents get as much love as possible.


GIFT IDEAS FOR TEENAGERS:

XX Revolution Celestrial XXplorer Kit
If there's one thing the festive season is for - it's sparkles. My personal fav from this gift set is the shimmer body puff which poofs out a light layer of shimmer as you pat it on your skin, but this set also has a highlighter stick, lipgloss, shimmer mist, and powder highlighter to keep dull winter skin at bay.
