Looking for the best beauty gifts?

For those who relish the shopping experience, searching for a creative gift for friends and family can be a joyful experience, whether it’s for a holiday, birthday or just because. For others, it can mean stress, worry and fear that everything you choose will fall short of expectations.

That fear rises if you’re wading in unfamiliar waters – like the world of beauty. We’re here to help. Here’s a list of beauty gift ideas that are sure to bring a smile to whoever is lucky enough to receive them!

Skin care gifts

Skin care gifts make wonderful beauty gifts. Who doesn’t love a little extra TLC for their skin to keep it soft, supple and healthy looking? Whether the person you’re buying for already has a multi-step skin care routine or is only doing the bare minimum, there are plenty of products out there that are perfect for wrapping up with a bow on top.

Skin care gifts for those just getting started

If the person on your list is new to a beauty regimen and doesn’t even have a regular skin care routine, this is a great opportunity to introduce them to the wonders of skin care and the confident feeling that comes with healthy looking skin!

No matter what type of skin someone has, they can benefit from the Artistry Skin Nutrition™ line. The collections include the must-haves for your core skin care routine: cleanser, toner, moisturizer and eye cream. There are four solution sets to choose from so you can find one that’s perfect for your person: balancing, hydrating, renewing and firming.

The balancing products have a gentle formula that focuses on decreasing oil and shine without over drying. The hydrating products have lightweight formulas that deliver supercharged hydration to illuminate dry skin and help maintain its elasticity.

The renewing collection offers advanced Artistry™ anti-aging technology that reduces the look of lines and discoloration, and the firming products deliver firming and lifting technology to help reduce the appearance of the visible signs of aging, including deep wrinkles, sagging and sallowness.

Skin care gifts for those in the know

Does your person already know the benefits of a skin care routine? There are plenty of additional things out there to help them achieve their goal of fabulous looking skin. From serums and self-tanners to skin spritzers and masks, there are several products that can be added to their daily routine or simply provide a little self-care when they need it.

Makeup gifts

Choosing makeup gifts can be challenging because preferences for shades and colors can be very personal. However, some people might appreciate the opportunity to try out something new without having to spend their own money. There are also a few less risky makeup gifts that will bring delight.

Give a pop of lip color

Feeling bold? Help them up their lip game with a shade from the Artistry Go Vibrant™ Lipstick Collection. It comes in cream or matte finishes and was formulated with intense pigments and tested on more than 60 people with a variety of skin tones, so everyone should be able to find a shade that makes them want to hand out air kisses – “Muah!”

Artistry Signature Color™ Light Up Lip Gloss is also a fun and creative gift idea for beauty fans. That’s because the tube has a built-in LED light and mirror allowing your recipient to flawlessly touch up their lips or other makeup no matter where they are.

You can likely make a good guess on your person’s preferred shade by what you see them wear regularly, but there are also some tips and tricks for choosing the perfect color – find them here. Or you can play it safe with the Artistry Go Vibrant Sheer Lip Balm. They can wear it alone or layer it under their favorite lip color.

Safer makeup gifts: mascara, brushes and removers

Some products work with any skin tone, like long, lovely lashes. Consider giving them Artistry Go Vibrant Waterproof Length Serum Mascara or Artistry Lash Boosting 3-in-1 Mascara. Pair either one with Artistry Studio Mascara Base Primer for 80% more volume.

Tools for applying makeup and products to remove it are also a safe bet. Experts recommend cleaning makeup brushes at least every seven to 10 days. It’s a safe bet that most people fall short of that expectation.

And while they may purchase a single brush here and there, not many people treat themselves to a complete set of makeup brushes in a carrying case. Help them start fresh with the Artistry Brush Set. It has five brushes to help with flawless application of foundations, powders, shadows, concealers or liners.

Or introduce them to micellar water, the ultimate multi-tasker. Artistry Skin Nutrition Micellar Makeup Remover + Cleanser effectively removes makeup while gently cleaning skin. It works like a makeup magnet on eye shadow, mascara, foundation – whatever you use in your daily look, including longwearing and waterproof formulas!

For the convenience factor, consider Artistry Studio™ Clean Start Micellar Makeup Remover + Cleanser wipes, which are great for traveling, whether it’s each day to the gym or a weekend getaway.

Travel makeup bags or toiletry bags for those on the go

Speaking of travel, how about a new makeup bag or toiletry bag? We all have an old favorite cosmetic case for makeup and skin care products that has seen better days. Not only is it stained with various makeup products, it’s probably harboring bacteria or germs as well. Not the best environment for products we put on our faces.

Consider treating your gift recipient to a new case, either alone or with some of the ideas we mentioned above.

There’s something about a sparkling, sleek new toiletry bag with smooth zippers and clean pockets that can bring joy to daily makeup and skin care routines, especially if it comes with a special treat inside!
