[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd get her a makeup lesson at Sephora, letting them know what she wants to focus on, and take it from there. I haven't done one in many years, but I think you pay like $50 or something but you can use it toward products. Which works well here, because the products is what she wants anyway. [/quote] +1 OP indicates her daughter has some ideas of what she likes, but perhaps she is not ready to put it all together herself and OP isn’t in a position to teach her. A tutorial in the store could give DD the confidence she needs, and it’s fun! You don’t have to buy all the stuff at Sephora, though you might do so as an initial splurge for the holidays. You can substitute with some drugstore brands as she gets more comfortable and needs to replace the initial purchases. My mom took me for a Lancôme makeover when I was a teenager (long ago!) and it was the best gift ever. Taught me basics and introduced me to various products and how to use them. Today’s equivalent is probably a tutorial at Sephora, which may be more desirable to teens than the old school department store makeup counter (which is still available if you and she want to go to MAC). Have a good time delighting your daughter![/quote]
