1. Tarte's Shape Tape Contour Concealer, which they've likely been eyeing for months now and will be so excited to finally learn what the hype is about. Let me tell you — this'll live up to it.
2. A purrfect headband with adorable ears attached to keep their hair out of the way while they wash their face or apply their makeup.
3. A Makeup Eraser cloth they'll wonder how they lived this long without after seeing how it magically takes ALL of their makeup off with just a few swipes.
4. Gold under-eye collagen masks they can wear while prepping their morning coffee to de-puff after they "accidentally" stayed up all night bingeing something new on Netflix.
5. Glow Recipe's collab with To All the Boys I've Loved Before, for your bestie who loves rom-coms as much as skincare and hasn't stopped fantasizing about Peter Kavinsky coming over for a spa day since the day they laid eyes on him. The mist will perfectly prep their skin right before they apply any makeup, and the mask contains an anti-inflammatory to soothe their face overnight, leaving it makeup-ready come the a.m.
6. A Leneige lip sleeping mask that'll moisturize their lips overnight after their day of wearing drying liquid lipstick, and have them ready to pucker up from the moment they wake up. Sleeping Beauty has nothin' on 'em.
7. Clump-free mascara with a lightweight and long-lasting formula that may have people asking them if they recently got eyelash extensions. Joke's on them!
8. A waterproof eyeshadow primer to keep their carefully blended eyeshadow in place — they'll definitely *thank you later* for this precious present.
9. A stunning oil-infused lipstick from Yves Saint Laurent in a gorgeous golden tube they'll be so excited over, they may just want to leave it on display instead of using it.
10. An NYX matte-finish setting spray to make sure the hour they spent perfectly applying primer, concealer, and highlighter doesn't go to waste.
11. A set of five nail polishes and a top coat so they can create one of those trendy ombré manicures without heading out to a pricey salon.
12. A pore minimizing primer from Touch in Sol that'll leave their skin looking smooth, soft, and flawless. Oh, and their makeup will stay put all day long! Sounds like a no-brainer to me.
13. A Winky Lux flower balm they'll find simply magical when it goes on clear, then blossoms into the perfect shade of pink as it combines with their natural pH level.
14. A brightening facial scrub from Acure with sea kelp and French green clay to soften and cleanse their skin so they'll have a clear canvas to continue experimenting with all kinds of makeup artistry.
15. A set of nail stickers that'll let them add a lil' extra ~pizzazz~ to their at-home mani.
16. Morphe's Icy Fantasy Artistry Palette, complete with 35 colors to choose from — hope your buddy isn't too indecisive, because all of these shades are fabulous.
17. Chapstick Total Hydration Conditioning Lip Scrub, which they can use to heal their cracked lips (thanks a lot, winter!) and as a primer before applying their favorite lipstick.
18. Glossier's Cloud Paint, which will add a touch of color to your pal's cheeks with a quick swipe of lotionlike formula. Powdered blush? IDK her.
19. A winged eyeliner stamp if they love to watch makeup tutorials but haven't been able to nail liquid eyeliner just yet.
20. An ice roller, which is said to help decrease under-eye puffiness, minimize fine lines, and shrink the look of pores to help your makeup appear smoother and last longer.
21. A black-sugar strawberry wash-off face mask — perfect for relaxing with an at-home spa night after the chaos of the week is over and letting your face recover from all the makeup you've worn the last five days.
22. And a set of face mask brushes for anyone who already seems to have every beauty gadget on the market.
23. Glossier's Boy Brow, because who wouldn't want flawless eyebrows every day?
24. A dazzling set of unicorn-inspired makeup brushes that'll leave them feeling like a mystical beauty every morning.
25. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer to brighten their under-eyes and help them disguise the fact that their "Sunday scaries" kept them up way past their bedtime.
26. An eyelash curler from Tweezerman that your pal will be able to rely on for flawless lashes — and it's pink!
27. A double-sided lip brush so they can scrub away any dead skin before applying their fave lipstick for a flawless, smooth pout.
28. Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter powder to add an extra ~glow~ to their cheeks with very little effort.
29. Or a Milk makeup highlighter stick in case they're always in a hurry and would prefer a product they can apply in a snap.
30. A "Mary Jo" Kylie lip kit because, IMO, no red lip will stay on longer and stronger than one of these bad boys.
31. A five-pack of makeup sponges to help them blend their powders, concealer, or foundation (pick your poison) into a flawless matte finish. These also come with lil' stands to dry off in after being washed — s'cute.
32. And plant-based, paraben-free EcoTools makeup brush shampoo so they'll have no excuse not to clear out the gunk and residue that have definitely built up on their brushes.
