EDGARS is taking the guess work out of buying Christmas gifts this year with elegant and beautifully packaged beauty gift sets that your loved ones will be thrilled to unwrap.

Fragrances are a personal gift and much-loved fragrance brands that come with the added extra of a shower gel and/or body lotion provide the spoil of being able to layer your scent allowing it to last even longer.

Colour make-up is also a firm gifting favourite now that bright colours have made it back to latest fashion runways. Make-up comes in many styles, Editorial, celebrity, HD, dewy and airbrush, and has many uses. But it’s how we feel that makes it a true Gift of Love.  Colour palette and beauty gifts provide a versatile range of colours that will bring out the artistry of any make up lover.

“Make-up expresses everything about a person’s personality, even their mood. Make-up could mean a lot of different things to people, such as a way to relax, be creative, or simply just because they love doing it,” says a review of Self Expression Through the Art of Make-Up by UK-based PBL Magazine.

Research has also shown that there are two primary reasons why we wear make-up: camouflage and confidence.

ScienceofPeople explains that make-up has the power to make those who wear it feel more sociable, assertive, seductive, and, even, less anxious.

There’s also the ‘lipstick effect’ (except this theory has nothing to do with economics). The idea is that wearing make-up gives us all a confidence boost by making us feel more attractive and increasing our self-esteem, attitude and personality. Studies also claim that it can boost productivity and motivation, which can also help students to achieve better grades.   Edgars Beauty consultants will assist you with choosing the right colour for that special person or you.

Another type of user is one who uses make-up for reinvention. ‘Cosmoholics’ are those friends and family who seem obsessed with changing their looks and are constantly buying make-up.

Bold red lips, nude make-up looks and strong highlights are just some of the popular styles of make-up that have stayed stylish. Using Edgars’ make-up sets, artists can achieve just about any look.

The neutral pallet also makes it an ideal gift for every-day use (as well as any party) while each product is excellent quality.

Influencers like Gio from the blog dedicated to good skincare, @BeautifulWithBrains, love the ritual and routine of putting on make-up. “Those minutes in the morning when I sit down to put my face on are so relaxing. It’s a little way to pamper myself at the beginning of evert day. Now, if only removing it was as pleasant…” (Gio, don’t forget to add a good-quality Edgars Beauty make-up remover to your basket next time!)

Whether you want to perfect a celebrity make-up style, have fun with friends recreating glamorous Hollywood looks, or make your look for 2023 flawlessly casual, beauty, make-up and fragrance sets also make an excellent gift to yourself!

By sticking to quality, you can be confident that your style and unique scent, whatever it may be, will withstand the longest workday, a wild year-end work party, or long lazy day outside enjoying the summer sun.

For glamorous make-up sets to gorgeous fragrances and skincare products that are effortless and ready to be placed under the Christmas tree, visit an Edgars store near you or shop online.
