The Best Non-Makeup Gifts For Makeup Lovers

by Miki Hayes

Holiday shopping can be pretty difficult. Especially if you're shopping for the beauty-obsessed person in your life, it may seem like she already has more makeup than she could possibly ever use in one lifetime. So instead of adding to her likely overflowing collection, how about opting for a makeup-themed gift instead? The theme will still feed her addiction, but the alternative use of something that isn't actually supposed to be applied to her face will give a little variety.

Sure, a traditional beauty gift is always a great way to go. But if you're a little unsure as to what your giftee doesn't already own, or what color lipstick she would prefer, a makeup-themed gift is the perfect choice. And you may be surprised just how many cute options there are from mugs, to phone cases, to even makeup bags. (Hey, she does need somewhere to store it all, right?) Besides, there isn't any beauty lover out there who doesn't get excited when she sees lipstick printed on clothes, accessories, or even home decor. So you can still surprise the beauty-obsessed person in your life with something you know she'll love, here are 16 gifts that will add to her collection in a totally unique way:
