What brands do teens want?

Hey, as the title suggests, got a few nieces to get gifts for. Have no idea what is fashionable, was thinking makeup rather than clothes as sizing is always tricky.
thanks

Charlotte tilbury,
benefit - if younger teens

Bibbetybobbity · 13/12/2022 12:29

Glossier, urban outfitters, ASOS. Cult beauty (online) is good for range of products too, or a voucher.

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 13/12/2022 12:29

Benefit
Glossier
Revolution

Lol no teen wants Charlotte Tilbury.

My 17yr old uses Fenty Beauty and Rare Beauty at the moment. Eldest used to use Morphe and Too Faced at that age.

My soon to be 16 year old loves CT flawless filter.

Errr....I beg to differ! CT is very popular with my two.

ColonelRhubarbBikini · 13/12/2022 13:19

It really depends on the age, the style they like and the individual teen these days. Teenagers are a lot less homogenous than they used to be. Back in my day there was one cool
acceptable trainer and the same for bags and coats etc. We all looked and smelled like clones Grin

I bought Benefit gift sets for teens this year.

My 17 year old uses CT. She especially loves the flawless filter.

My teen nieces (16 & 17) have both asked for Charlotte Tilbury stuff. Also Victoria Beckham Kajal eyeliners.

Thank you everyone.

I really miss those days, much easier. I was hoping the answer would be a few brands but I am still stuck 😅 maybe makeup brush sets

I say this on every thread but why not a voucher for Sephora or Cult Beauty, both sell most of the brands that would be suitable.

I have a 16 year old niece who seems into Fenty and Glossier, I can't imagine her using Charlotte Tilbury but that goes to show how tastes are going to vary between girls the same age/area/what media they consume and what advertising is in their algorithm. If in doubt, always gift vouchers.

CopperLily · 13/12/2022 17:22

I asked my 15 and 12 tear old daughters, and they said e.l.f and Morphe.

Newlifenewme · 13/12/2022 23:02

Both of my girls own Charlotte tilbury makeup they like the pillow talk stuff so teens certainly do want it.

my older teen (16) loves Mac (expensive taste) and she even asked for a Chanel lipstick for her birthday.

my younger teen (13) likes revolution, benefit and NYX

CactusPeach · 19/12/2022 21:03

Mac (foundation / eye shadows) and Fenty Beauty (lip products / blush / highlighter)
