Xmas ideas for 16 yr old? (K-beauty and makeup)

[MrsAxilla]

I'm thinking of putting a box of goodies together for my niece.  So far I have four or five fun sheet masks (animal ones) and Japanese sunscreen.  What else should I put in?  Her skin is lovely (not too much teen acne) and she doesn't wear much make up yet, mostly lipgloss and mascara.  Has anyone tried those tattoo lip stains?  What about an inexpensive, neutral eye palette?  I tried to get her to double cleanse over the summer and she wasn't into it.  Is there a good two-in-one cleanser?  Maybe a scrub?  TIA!

I had moderate acne when I was younger and the thing that helped my skin the most (other than birth control) was exfoliating. I think I started out with Yves-Rocher, but moved on to the Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream and used that for years.

As far as a neutral palette, I'm due to get this one in a PopSugar box this week and I really don't need anymore palettes. If you'd like it I'd be happy to send it to you for your niece.

I loved getting actual make up and nail polish at that age. Maybe a Clinique quad, they are pretty neutral.

What about the Covergirl TruNaked Nudes palette? I have the roses one and am impressed with the quality. Maybe that and a set of brushes? or an NYX lipgloss or 2?

I have the lip tattoo and it's ok. It dries out my lips a lot, but maybe it wouldn't do that to someone younger. It is a fun item though!

A lovely SPF. Get her on using that now and she'll keep that lovely skin for so much longer.

I think any palette by Makeup Revolution would be great (I love them).

What about a Naked Basics palette?

My 15 yo LOVES the misscha BB cream.

She also loves nude tude by the balm.
And she steals my naked palettes all the time. But she's super into makeup.

She is always stealing my rose stick cleanser.



Things she asked for this year for xmas:

A new palette.
A highlighting palette.
Contouring and highlighting is HUGE for girls her age.

Yes!  Our BFF's daughter is 16 and is in LOVE with contouring/highlighting.

Another voice chiming in for contouring and/or highlighting. My 16-year-old niece is super into contouring.

Sigh...youthful skin is wasted on the young.

Elf makes a really nice contour quad that's only $6.
