Make Up Gift for 18 yo

[TeuchterTraveller]

DH niece is turnjng 18 near month, she's massively into make up. I am not.

What suitable gift could be purchased for around £25? Please help with suggestions.

Ooooh how about some nice makeup brushes? You can never have enough brushes.

I recently bought myself these, they're fantastic quality, on par with my hideously expensive brushes, and they're fun too. They do a rose gold and ivory colourway too, but I am going through an iridescence appreciation phase at the minute

I bought my niece this set for her 18th and it was really well received. It's lovely as its a birthday cake shape. I could only find it available in asos now.

DD loves Morphe.

Anything Benefit or MAC you can't go wrong with.

I would ask the girls on the desk.

Clearly I'm very unsophisticated

The Amazon ones perform almost as well as my Hakuhodo brushes. They are ten times the fun though

@EatenByDinosaurs I thought that when I clicked the link, then I read where you said about them being on par with your hideously expensive brushes and you went way back up in my estimation 😂🙂 And well... I Have ordered them as I just .... couldn't not. We can bask in mermaid gloriousness together and ignore the dickheads 🧜‍♀️ 🧜‍♀️ 💄 💄

@JenMumma yes! Let's bask away!

I like to wash my brushes every week, and for me that is one of the real tests of a good brush, if they keep feeling the same as they did when they were new, and don't shed, even after frequent washing.
The only brushes I've ever had which do that are these mermaid ones, and my Hakuhodo ones.

The Hakuhodo ones don't make me smile like my mermaid ones do though, and isn't being fun and enjoyable the whole point of makeup?

100% get her a Morphe pallet. She will love you forever 😀

For that price some Morphe

Something like [https://www.latestinbeauty.com/collections/hd-brows-edition this]]? Went down well with my daughter!

Oops!

@EatenByDinosaurs Yes, yes and yes ! Oh and I'm totally coming round your house to play !!!!!
I'm going to be like a pig in shit mermaid in water when they arrive 😂, to be honest the quality of them is just a bonus now 😂⭐️💐🧜‍♀️⭐️

My stepdaughter always like something from benefit.

Oh dear terrible typos in my OP!

Brilliant suggestions, thank you. This is just what I need.

My 17 year old dd loves Morphe too. I got her a set of brushes for Christmas & she loves the palettes.
