Makeup Kits
As most makeup artists will agree, you can never have too much makeup! So it’s safe to say makeup kits are a great Christmas gift idea. They range from small to large and can include whatever you think is necessary for the artist. You can find kits that are just for eye shadows, just for lipsticks, or some that combine everything from concealer to blush, and more!
Depending on your budget and what the artist may be looking for, it’s a great place to start if you’re ensure what to get them this season. If you haven’t already, consider browsing Sephora and MAC as they have great kit options that can fit anyone’s needs.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive alternative, Walmart and Target also have amazing makeup kits that are great quality and that makeup artists will love. But don’t limit yourself! Doing a quick online search of your own can uncover so many more options that you didn’t even know existed.
Footwear
Have you ever thought about getting the makeup artist in your life some comfortable footwear? Pro MUAs tend to be on their feet all day, as they are constantly running back and forth or are simply standing by a client for long periods of time. So comfort is definitely key!
Although, buying shoes for someone else may a difficult task. Expand your options by browsing online stores and talk to the experts at local shoe shops for the best advice on footwear that is stylish and professional, yet comfortable. Be sure to hang on to your gift receipt in case you need to go back after for a different size!
Gift Cards
While it may not be the most personal option, every makeup artist needs to replenish at some point. It’s not always easy staying updated with what your friend or family member needs or you may not be familiar with the best brands in makeup. Gift cards are a great way to show that you would love to support their career and want to contribute in any way possible! They will appreciate the gesture and will be able to add to their supplies as they see fit. Can you really ever go wrong with a gift card?
There are endless options out there when shopping for a makeup artist. You can choose one of our recommendations or get creative and think of your own! The holidays are an exciting time and gift giving shouldn’t be a stress. Enjoy the process of buying for the ones you love and have a happy holidays!
