Getting a Makeup Gift for the Au Natural Gal
Ahh, to be a natural woman. Women that go au natural don’t tend to wear an abundance of makeup, and they don’t need to either. If you know someone that isn’t into the latest lip gloss or brightest blush, you can still give them the gift of makeup without worrying about offending them.
Often, these women would like to wear makeup but just don’t know how or what to wear. This is where you come in. As their friend or family member, you can help! Take them into a department store early in the week so that the makeup department won’t be crowded. Schedule an appointment at favorite makeup counter during a weekday evening and tell your au natural girl that you are treating her to a makeover and dinner. The professional makeup artists will take it from there.
Chances are, your friend will enjoy the mini pampering session and will be intrigued by what was chosen for her. After her makeover, you can purchase a few items for her as part of the gift, just don’t go overboard…remember, you don’t want to overwhelm her.
Try makeup sets that includes tinted moisturizer or a light foundation, blush, mascara and lip gloss. These items are essentials and will be easy for her to use on a daily basis.
