Good make-up gift for 18 year old

I'm looking for an extra present for DD for Christmas and would like to get a make-up set or item (up to around £30). Any recommendations as to what would be nice? I want it to be a surprise so don't want to ask her directly.

She uses a mix - usually Elf for foundation, primer etc, she has some of the B-perfect eyeshadows. I don't think I will get lipstick as she would be more of a lip oil person and I got her Clarins lip oils last year. I've also got her the Benefit cheek trio in the past. Maybe a nice cream blush or a decent bronzer would be good if anyone has any suggestions?

Glossier cloud paints are lovely for a cream blush.

What about a set of Real Techniques brushes?

Please not plouise. Horribly tacky and the company are awful.

Westman Atelier baby cheeks blush stick is a good shout. They do a mini for £23. Cult beauty & Space NK sell it.

Thanks - some brilliant suggestions - I'll be able to call into a SpaceNK on Sunday so that would work but also loving the Iconic gift set...

Why not get her a gift Boucher from her preferred make up shop? Then she has the fun of choosing.

BlanklyMyDear · 20/12/2024 16:09

Hmm I have no idea what a Boucher is … Hopefully you got the drift!

My dd 18 loves Dior lip oil, benefit eyeliner, mascara and brow gel she also like Charlotte Tilbury. If you’re a little unsure get her a Sephora voucher.

GinaDreamsofRunningAway · 20/12/2024 16:15

My 18 year old DD loves the Iconic London stuff and Charlotte Tilbury.

QuizzlyBears · 20/12/2024 19:45

If she’s a lip oil girlie then what about the Glossier or Summer Fridays tinted balms?

HanSB · 20/12/2024 20:13

The Dior lip oil that you can engrave for £33

slipperyeel · 22/12/2024 16:51

One luxe item, a Chanel lipstick perhaps.

My daughters are 15 and 18 and both like Charlotte tilbury
