Is your favorite girl always on the go?  For women who are out and about, the worse thing is having to touch up their makeup in public.  Here are some great makeup gifts that will help busy ladies get on with their lives.

	Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow smudges and flaking glitter are some of my biggest makeup pet peeves.  If you have oily skin, sweat throughout the day, or if your skin is too dry then your shadows will have a hard time staying on and will flake off.  Shadow Insurance fixes that problem by forming a base coat for your eyeshadow to stick to.  Too Faced Shadow Insurance makes eyeshadow colors pop so you can use less eyeshadow for the same effect.  Shadow Insurance also smooths wrinkles and makes blending colors easier.  There’s also a shimmer version called “Candlelight” and a “Glitter Glue” version for glitter and sparkle shadows.

	Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Finally there’s a waterproof eye liner that won’t smudge or run with teary eyes.  Stila’s liquid eyeliner brush draws a clean bold line without tugging on delicate eyelids.  Unlike other liquid liners there’s no skipping or bleeding with Stila Stay All Day liquid eye liner.  Plus once it’s on skin it dries up quickly so you don’t have to wait forever before you can start blinking again!  Comes in a variety of colors including black, brown, silver, indigo, and green as well as a sparkle and shimmer version.

	Stila Convertible Color Lipstick/Blush This all in one blush and lipgloss is perfect for a better than natural look. Stila’s convertible colors come in 8 different shades and goes on smoothly for a translucent pink / peach to brighten up your cheeks and lips.  Not only does these shades cut down on the amount of makeup you have to carry around but they are long lasting with colors still fresh after 8 hours.  The colors are subtle and forgiving so they suit all different types of skin tones.

	Stila Smudge Pot A long time cult favorite, smudge pots are a triple duty makeup weapon.  This little jar is an eye liner, eye shadow, and brow pencil all in one!  Smudge pots are creamy and dry so they can be applied with a flat angled brush for a clean line or with your fingers for a softer blended smoky eye look.  I love smudge pots because the dry gel formula does not melt in hot weather and it doesn’t dry out like liquid formulas. A little goes a long way and one jar can last over half a year even with everyday use. (Click to compare prices)
	Too Faced Eye Palettes These pre selected eyeshadow “themes” are great for when you are traveling and do not want to bring along your entire makeup drawer!  Each palette comes with instructions for several looks using only the eyeshadows in the palette.  Set themes range from “natural eye”, “smoky eye”, to “romantic eye” these palettes are simple to use and easy to pack.  Too Faced eyeshadows blend easily and are deeply colored.  Pair this palette up with Too Faced Shadow Insurance and your eye makeup will stay touch up free for entire day.

	Too Faced Retractable Kabuki Brush This retractable brush is an ultra portable and mess free solution for bronzers, blushes, and foundation.  This kabuki has a full sized brush head for full even coverage and quick application.   Teddy bear bristles are not made out of animal hairs so they are cruelty free as well as extra soft compared to animal hair kabuki brushes.  If you have sensitive skin and cannot use normal kabuki brushes then you should give Too Faced’s Teddy Bear hair line of brushes and see what the fuss is about!

I have sensitive skin and symptoms of pre rosacea after years of using harsh products to deal with my acne. One thing that I really have trouble with is finding the right makeup brushes that won’t irritate my skin.

I often see recommendations on makeup forums and makeupalley where reviewers gush over how soft their natural kabuki brushes are. And of course, being as desperate as I am to finally find something that works, I jump on board and buy it…

Only to be disappointed when I put the brush to my face. Every brush I’ve bought from these reviews feels like taking a boar bristle brush across my face.  Every person who has sensitive skin knows what happens from harsh makeup brushes. First there’s that stinging/itching sensation which is then followed by the feeling of your skin cracking, next comes the scaling and flaking skin, and this all concludes with about a month of hard scaly healing skin.

Well, last year I found the cure to my agony and it is too good to keep a secret. A ‘soft’ brush for sensitive skin that actually feels soft and safe for my skin. This amazing product is the “Too Faced Teddy Bear Hair Professional Mini Brush Set.” These are the most amazing brushes ever! They feel like butter gliding against my skin and I have never gotten any irritation from them. I can even ‘buff’ using these brushes and not once have I ever wrecked my skin.

On top of that, the brushes are very well made. I have never had a problem with shedding or loose hairs unlike other natural haired brushes. The fibers are synthetic and antibacterial and white so you can easily see if there’s some pigment on the bristles.

You get a powder brush, angled liner brush, crease blending brush, a lip brush, and an angled blending brush in the set. As I mentioned, I got mine from Sephora, but if you order it through Amazon, you can automatically get free shipping without the high minimum order like Sephora.

Here are some buyer reviews, all of the reviewers pretty much agree with why I love these brushes so much:

Teddy Bear Hair for the Win!

Quick Take: synthetic fibers, super soft brushes

Wow. These brushes are superb. I have never had softer brushes touch my skin and I will never go back to natural hair brushes. I’m convinced once you try these, you too will never want another brush to touch your skin! I got this cute little set to go with my retractable kabuki brush from Too Faced and it is worth every penny. They work great picking up color and the application goes on soooo smooth. They are totally cruelty free and really really easy to clean. To top it off it comes in a cute little brush bag to keep them nice and organized.

Best Brush Set

Quick Take: synthetic fibers

This is a great brush set. I have the original longer-handle set and this set. Even though I don’t really need both, I can’t seem to part with either one of them! All the brushes are incredibly soft and give great applications.

Soooooo soft!

The Teddy Bear Hair brushes are soooooooo soft! They feel absolutely marvelous against my skin. I’m usually not a fan of synthetic-haired brushes, but these are as soft as any natural bristle brush I’ve tried. Also, I love the little metallic bag they come in–very convenient for travel. Great product!
