Beauty Gifts for Teens
Buying makeup for teens and tweens can be quite the task. They want high quality makeup that works well, but they are very new on their makeup journey. Start them off strong with an eyeshadow palette that is super easy to use, with colours that go easily together and a good reputation for being pigmented and easy to blend, like Morphe or Anastasia Beverly Hills. Getting high end makeup for Christmas used to be the highlight of my festive season, so consider treating them to a slightly more up-market brand than they would purchase themselves.
Luckily for those of us shopping for teenagers, makeup in 2025 has a far more natural approach. Think lip gloss, brow gels, mascaras, and blushes. Fresh-faced beauty is the most coveted look of the moment, and is as age-appropriate as it is on-trend.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Teens: Fragrance
We all remember our first dabble into the world of fragrance. Classic scents like Daisy by Marc Jacobs is always relevant to teens, whereas Sol de Janeiro and Sabrina Carpenter are newer faces – but bestsellers, nonetheless.
Body sprays and perfumes are a rather foolproof option for Christmas gifts for teens, as they feel grown up and are very relevant in 2025’s beauty world, but they are not too “old” for young people looking to add something a little extra to their morning routine.

Beauty Gifts for Teens: Skincare
Once you hit tween age, skincare suddenly becomes far more of a priority. Not only are you facing skin concerns for the first time, but skincare has become somewhat of a sought-after ritual, more so than makeup.
If buying practical skincare for teens and tweens, make sure to keep it simple. Influencers and skincare culture will have young people believing they need to be using retinols, LED masks, and harsh ingredients that are not appropriate for their young skin. A nice face wash, toner, and moisturiser is still the best place to start.
If purchasing more “fun” skincare like masks and patches, the same rule applies. Just keep it simple! Teens do not need to worry about active ingredients and retinoids, and they certainly do not need to use them yet.

Have a FANTASTIC Christmas.
Discovering makeup in the 2010's era of full glam was always going to lead me to beauty writing. A lover of pop culture and language, my content is always rooted in modern day trends. My beauty holy grails are the LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balms, L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream, detox masks for my skin, and any hair product that promises to repair, hydrate, and strengthen!
