Make-up and cosmetics-all wrapped in pretty paper, with glittering mesh bows, are what I dream of finding in my stocking, under the tree, and any place else you can stash them, on Christmas morning. Limited edition make-up collections with lux palettes and beautiful brushes are what I look forward to all year round. Here is my gift guide for the make-up junkie in your life.

Illamasqua Liquid Metal in Solstice Liquid Gold, Vintage Metallix and the Embellish Eye Trio

Metallic eyes are replacing smoky eyes for Christmas 2014. Think of The X-Factor’s Lauren Platt’s fab Halloween make-up, and you’ll get what this look is all about. I love how rich these look. And they make maximum impact although they are still classy and understated.

Mac Heirloom, Keepsakes Eyes and Objects of Affection

I adore the regal Heirloom range and think the Keepsakes are such a lovely gift idea for someone dear to you. My fave products are: Objects of Affection Pink and Plum Lip

Heirloom Mix Studio Nail Laquer in Just Jewels

And Keepsake Eyes

Bobbi Brown Travel Make-Up Brushes, Deluxe Lip & Eye Set and Holiday Lip Trio

Charlotte Tilbury
There’s way too much to choose from. If you’re on a budget get the mini lip charms or the signature Charlotte Tilbury make up bag. Other cute ideas are any of the perfect kiss collection. And if you want to go all out and splash that cash, get the Supermodel Genius Tutorial Video Box. The box actually talks you through how to apply the products. Totes amaze!

I hope that have you all some useful gift ideas for your friends, family or significant others,
