We Asked Pro Makeup Artists What They’re Gifting This Year

Celebrated Australian makeup artist, creator of game-changing beauty tools and genuine ray of human sunshine, Rae Morris, believes the best beauty gifts are the ones “you’d genuinely buy for yourself”: “Whenever I give a beauty gift, it’s something I already love and use, because if I’m obsessed with it, chances are my friends will be too,” she shares, adding, “I also think there’s something really special about gifting something personal; every time they use it, it reminds them of you.” 

This holiday season, Morris is gifting a mix of beauty and home fragrance: “I love giving beautiful room sprays, they instantly lift a space and feel so personal. And of course, the Rae Morris Invisible Mattifier, because it’s such a universal product that truly suits everyone.” She’s also adding her favourite mascaras, because “honestly, who doesn’t love a great mascara?”

Want to gift like a French makeup legend? By Terry’s founder Terry de Gunzberg’s gameplan is to pick something that feels like a true treat, “something luxurious that the person might not typically splurge on for themselves… whether it’s a radiant makeup set or a beautifully crafted fragrance,” she explains. The right gift should make someone feel instantly special – her top picks? “I love gifting products that are universally flattering and easy to use, like the By Terry Parisian Glow Set. Our Brightening CC Serum that’s the star of this set creates a luminous base and suits every skin tone. It’s the kind of glow everyone wants, especially during the festive season!”
