I would love to get expensive makeup as a gift! Also I love most MAC products, haven’t tried many from Huda beauty. Don’t buy a foundation, concealer or anything that needs a specific skin shade but a nice lipstick, mascara or maybe eyeshadow would be great! Of course I assume you know a little bit about her favorite makeup colors, if she likes pink, red or nude lips etc.

Not sure which parts of your makeup you’re talking about. Sometimes some products work for others but won’t work for you. For example, I could never use a non waterproof mascara or wear eyeliner/concealer without setting it with powder. Finding the right eye pencil that doesn’t smudge on your eyes is a challenge as well. And any makeup needs some touch ups during the day, especially eye pencils or powder. Maybe you have oily skin?!
