I'm not into makeup at all, I've been wearing the same small amount and brands since about the mid 90s 😂

I need a really lovely item of makeup or eyelashes for an older teenage girl.

I've ordered some really nice eyeshadow pallettes that I saw recommended online, but I would also like a bit of a luxury item as well, as a nice treat for her.

It cant be foundation as I wouldn't know what shade to get her.

Any help would be very appreciated Flowers

If she's into eyelashes then I recommend Tatti lashes TL3 or TL4 around £10 per pair and if looked after you can get about 10 wears out of them.

Depending on the brow look she goes for most like a fluffy spiky brow these days benefit have some good products their clear brow gel and their micro filling brow pen.

I'd also recommend the Charlotte tilbury flawless filter foundation it's not a full coverage it's more like a light glowy base perfect for when you don't want the feeling or look of a full coverage foundation.

Hope this helps xx

Perhaps nice brush set or a styl pro (brush cleaner tool which is amazing). Maybe some nice mascara like Mac or a nice highlighter by Mac or Ofra?
If you look on feel unique, beauty bay or look fantastic sales you will get a lot of ideas

Glossier future dew, great base for make up or just on top of regular skin care, gives a lovely glow

Iconic lip oil and face spray thingy. They usually do multi buys

Nyx is a nice affordable range x

DD recommends NYX soft matte lip cream and butter gloss lip range are her faves (18)

Charlotte Tilbury Full fat lashes - excellent mascara.

Another vote for Glossier, definitely. Have a look at the website. I've a link for a discount if you want it.
