1. Brushes

A real makeup junkie knows there is no such thing as too many makeup brushes. Whether you just keep forgetting to clean them or you truly don't have that many, you kind of always want more brushes but don't want to drop those coins one a nice brush set.

Which is why it's a good gift.

Here are some affordable brush options: Colourpop, Wet n Wild, Elf, BH Cosmetics.

Here are some splurge-y brush options: Sigma, Morphe (some sets are cheaper, some are definitely splurgey), Spectrum.

2. Setting spray

Whether you use it to spray your face after applying all your makeup, or you use it wet your eyeshadows to make them more metallic, setting spray is a resource that depletes unfortunately quickly.

Buying a setting spray that's available at the drugstore is always an option (Milani makes my personal favorite), but so is spending a heftier price tag at Ulta or Sephora on Too Faced or Urban Decay setting sprays.

3. Makeup removing wipes

Makeup wipes seem to evaporate in my drawer. No matter how frequently I buy them, I always seem to need more. These babies are perfect for cleaning makeup off your hand, taking makeup off at the end of the day, fixing winged liner, or even wiping away fallout after doing your eyeshadow. They come in handy a lot, and it doesn't hurt to have a few extra packs on standby.

4. Sephora/Ulta giftcard

I feel like this one is pretty darn obvious, but I think that I speak for a lot of people when I say that it's better to have the choice of getting whatever you want than it is to get something you already own/don't want and having to return it, which is a hassle.

So if you're out of options or you just want to make sure they get something they'll actually want, I think that a gift card is a great choice.
