For example, expensive mascara, foundation, etc…is it worth it to buy as a gift or will I be better off giving something else that may last a long time? I have no idea about make-up.
Context: I am a med-student so these things will be bought out of my personal savings which aren’t a lot.
Also, what are your thoughts on makeup products from MAC and Huda Beauty? I was eyeing a long lasting mascara to buy for my partner from either MAC or Huda Beauty but I can get something else like clothes for her in the same price…
Gift card or off their wish list. And if you really splurge make sure it’s powder product and not clean beauty. An eyeshadow palette can last many years, but many cream products or stuff within sufficient preservatives are trash in just months.
Would suck to spend so much on something they won’t use. So let them pick what they want.
Mascara is the dumbest thing to splurge on, you have to replace them for hygiene reasons within six months tops and drugstore is literally no different at all from high end. Don’t buy that one, it isn’t gonna be worth it.
