I am going to start this little holiday gift guide series on how to pick and choose presents for your friends, family, and love ones. I am starting off with the "makeup lovers" gift guides, because this is what my blog is about. Don't worry, I'll be doing ones for the "Fashion Lovers", and "all things girl stuff lovers" as well. And if I could think of more ideas, I'll be doing more as well.

First off, I think that makeup sets are the best thing to go for when you want to buy makeup products for someone. The best places I think for makeup sets are Sephora and Ulta. These are just a few of my favorites and the ones that I want to get for the holiday season this year.

bareMinerals A Vision In Velvet Set $79

Tarte Eye Catchers 6-Piece SmolderEYES And Skinny SmolderEYES Collector's Set $39

Too Faced Beauty Editor Darlings Set $19

Lorac Eye Candy Full Face Collection $59

The next category of makeup that I feel you can never go wrong with are eyeshadow palettes. Instead of getting them a single shadow, it's better to get them a palette. You can find these palettes at Sephora.

Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Ludwig $34

Stila In The Garden Eye Shadow Palette $39

Sigma Dare Eyeshadow Palette $39

You can only buy this palette online at sigmabeauty.com

The last category is little makeup products stocking stuffer. So basically you can buy a few little makeup products and make your own little set or combine with other little items. This is a lot of fun, and it also shows some time and dedication into giving someone a gift. I'll be just giving a few makeup products that I think will be great stocking stuffers. You can find these products at Sephora, Ulta, or your local drugstores.
