With that, we have handpicked a list of beauty items, which will not only add to their collection but also help them in organizing and keeping their items squeaky clean. Check these out!
Makeup Bags
Makeup bags are an essential part of a makeup lover’s arsenal. Not only do these keep your makeup items and tools safe, they also keep your stuff from scattering. This is especially ideal for girls on-the-go and those who frequently travel so they can carry their makeup essentials with them anywhere they go.

Makeup Organizers
Help your friend organize their makeup stash by giving them organizers to keep their items in place. These will also help in sorting and provide easier access.
It’s best to figure out which product they have the most to find the ideal organizer for them since there are some organizers made specifically to store lipstick, brushes and other products.

Makeup Brushes
Gone are the days when fingers were used to apply different makeup products to the face. Though some artists and makeup lovers still prefer to use their fingers, these days a good set of brushes will get you a very long way.
These brushes not only help to apply makeup but by using the appropriate brush for a specific use, it will help to blend better into the skin. These can help makeup lovers, especially when they’re just starting to explore the colorful world of makeup!

Makeup Applicators
Makeup applicators often refer to sponges, puffs and beauty blenders. Applicators come in different shapes and sizes, and like brushes, each of them has a specific use and match with a specific product.
There are quite a lot of factors to consider before buying an applicator, these include the type of foundation that you’re using (powder, liquid, cream), the application space (where you’re applying the makeup to) and the type of job (precision or all-over).

Brush Cleaners
Makeup lovers would know that a clean brush means having a better application and a sanitary makeup kit. Traditionally, cleaning a brush would mean lathering soap in one hand and rub the brush on that hand to remove any product on the brush but this doesn’t always mean that all of the products get washed off.
Luckily, there are now makeup brush cleaners that come in forms of mats with ridges that help get the product thoroughly off of the brush. These mats are best used with a cleanser specifically formulated for brushes.

Skincare Kits
Skincare is an important aspect of makeup because it helps keep the skin’s natural glow and beauty. It is right to say that skincare is just as important as makeup.
Skincare Kits are curated by brands to be a complete regimen for your skin. Most kits will include a serum, a cleanser, face cream, facial oil, and eye cream.

Beauty Roller
Beauty rollers or facial rollers have become a trend these days. These tools are commonly used to enhance blood circulation, relieve tension in the face and reduce the puffiness of the skin. Rollers made with gemstones are especially popular as they have a calming and cooling effect.
Compared to rollers made with other materials, gemstone rollers will not retain bacteria and since they’re made from a specific gemstone (e.g. jade or crystal), they’ll also have specific spiritual attributes attached to them.

Facial Cleansing Brush
A facial cleansing brush is used when you’re washing your face after a long day out of the house. They help stimulate and gently exfoliate the skin. These brushes also help speed up the cell renewal process in the skin.
If stored properly, they can be more sanitary to wash the face with rather than hands. Like other skincare products, there are also specific types of cleansing brushes that will suit a specific skin type.

Hair Tools
Hair tools include everything from hot tools (e.g. curling irons and straighteners), hair elastics to hairbrushes, pins and more. Basically, hair tools are used to keep the hair in place to make it look picture perfect for the entire day. Some clips also include jeweled embellishments that will make the hairstyle look more stunning.

Hairstyling Products
Hairstyling products work to change the texture, shape, and style of the hair. Popular examples include gel, hairsprays, styling cream, bonding oil, and pomades. What’s good about these products is their travel-friendly packaging, which allows the user to retouch their styles throughout the day!
