High End Makeup Gifts for Mom
Click the + icons on this image for a general overview of our high end gift ideas!
Product Details:
Urban Decay Naked Reloaded
UD’s Naked line got rid of the very first palette and replaced it with this one. If mom’s been using her old Naked palette since it came out in 2010, she is DEFINITELY in need of an upgrade. This palette has awesome everyday shades, with enough “fun” color to step it up when wanted.
Natsha Denona Bloom Blush & Glow Palette
ND products are some of the highest and best. They can also be very pricy, so mom might not splurge on herself and buy them! If mom loves luxury makeup, she will love this quad of gorgeous blush and highlight shades.

Sephora Ready in 5 Face Brush Set
Good brushes are a necessity for any beauty lover! This little set includes a foundation brush, concealer brush, and a powder brush – basically all mom needs for a quick complexion.

Huda Beauty The New Nude Eyeshadow Palette
This palette came out last year and is still all the rage. There are an amazing mix of mattes, shimmers, and pressed glitters. The shades in this palette are perfect for soft, everyday pinky looks, as well as glitter for all of mom’s special events.

NARS Exposed Cheek Palette
This palette is incredibly gorgeous. The pattern in the pans makes it stunning to look at, and the shades inside the palette makes it gorgeous on the skin. If your mom loves a great blush, she will adore this beauty!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Eyeshadow Palette
If mom likes bright and bold eyeshadows, I’m sure she will LOVE this new addition to the ABH eyeshadow collection. The bright pink and purple are awesome matte shades, and the blue and yellow shimmers will add a pop to any look. There are also enough neutral shades that she can get some everyday use out of this palette, too.
Natasha Denona Biba Eyeshadow Palette
This palette is entirely neutral, and yet still feels different than other neutral eyeshadows! Many many beauty lovers claim that ND eyeshadows are the absolute best quality on the market. You’ll pay a larger price for this palette, but the quality is incredible and the amount of product in each eyeshadow is much greater than similar palettes, so you do truly get your money’s worth. If your mom is a makeup fanatic, she will truly appreciate receiving a ND palette.

Tatcha Bestsellers Set
Our skin changes as we age, and it’s extra important that we help mom feel and look her best! Tatcha products are loved by many, especially by people with maturing skin. This is their bestsellers set, good for all skin types, with anti-aging properties. Having great makeup starts with having great skincare.

Affordable Makeup Gifts for Mom ($25 and under!)
Mom deserves the best, but sometimes we’re on a bit more of a budget. And ya know what? That’s okay! Affordable makeup has gone up in quality an incredible amount in the past few years.
I’d still shy away from an eyeshadow palette that you can purchase at a grocery store, and go for one of these instead.
Colourpop Fame Pressed Powder Eyeshadow Palette
I absolutely love Colourpop Eyeshadows! They are are so incredibly easy to blend, are pigmented, and the shimmers are the SOFTEST and most glimmery. Is that a word? I don’t care, it describes them perfectly!
P.S. This is one of the products you should be able to use Ulta coupons on, too!

Juvia’s Place The Masquarade Mini Eyeshadow Palette
I know this is the mini version, but it honestly isn’t very small! This palette is super cute, with a wide range of neutrals and colors for mom to play with. Juvia’s Place creates some awesome and quality products at an affordable price, and we are HERE for it!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Lipgloss Set
ABH lipsticks and glosses are super popular, and the price of them can add up pretty quickly if you want a bunch of them. But who said that mom can’t have high end lipgloss at an affordable price? This four pack is only $25, and they’re the perfect on-the-go size.

Morphe 8W Warm Master Blush Palette
There were a few blush palettes on the high end side, and I wanted to include an affordable (but still gorgeous!) option too. This 8-shade blush palette from Morphe includes matte, shimmer, and satin blushes that range from everyday nude shades to bright pops of color. I think this is going on my wish list, too!
P.S. This is one of the products you should be able to use Ulta coupons on, too!

Tarte Flawless On The Fly Color Collection
This small bundle is a PERFECT gift idea! Not only does it include the cutest mini Lights, Cameras, Lashes Mascara, but it has an amazing eyeshadow palette, too! I personally love Tarte’s clay eyeshadows, and this Ulta exclusive one is limited edition. If your mom is a bit more on the “clean makeup” side, Tarte is a good brand to look at – they tend to be the most “clean” mainstream makeup brand. Check out this bundle, seriously!

BH Cosmetics Signature Rose Gold Brush Set
This 13 piece set includes all the brushes that mom needs to get glam. I have two BH Cosmetics brush sets, and I use them EVERY day. I’ve washed them countless times and they are still soft and perform wonderfully – and I highly recommend them! I love how this set also includes a brush holder, so mom can set this up on her vanity or take them on the go.

Peter Thomas Roth Mask Mashup
Do you love face masks? I love face masks. This variety pack of PTR masks is an awesome gift if mom loves skincare as much as we do! There are 6 different face masks in this pack, each addressing a different skin concern.
Sephora Favorites Perfume Travel Sampler
If you aren’t sure what your mom’s favorite perfume is (sorry Mom, but I don’t know!) this sampler is the perfect gift. It comes with a redeemable voucher, which lets mom choose her favorite from this sampler, go to a Sephora store, and redeem a travel size version of that perfume – for no additional cost! Travel size perfumes usually cost $25 to begin with, so this is an awesome way to try before you buy.
