Makeup to give for Mother's Day

Mascara, eyeshadow and eyeliner: enhancing the gaze

The gaze concentrates the essence of make-up gifts. The mascara is chosen based on the desired effect: a thick brush with tightly packed bristles adds volume to fine lashes, a fine and combed brush separates and lengthens short lashes, and a waterproof formula holds up in the rain, at the pool or during an emotional ceremony. The eyeshadow palette combines coordinated shades, matte to structure the crease of the eye, shimmering to brighten the movable eyelid. The eyeliner, felt tip for a precise line or gel for a more blended effect, defines the gaze: a fine line for daytime, elongated into a wing for the evening.

Brows and complexion: products to choose based on skin tone

Brows frame the face: a powdered eyebrow product, applied with an angled brush, fills in sparse areas with a natural finish, and a tinted gel keeps the hairs in place all day. Choose a shade slightly lighter than the brows for brunettes, slightly darker for blondes. For the complexion, the challenge lies in matching the skin tone: a badly matched foundation is immediately noticeable. It’s better to offer a translucent loose powder, which works for all skin types, a subtle highlighter, or a blush in peach or pink tones, which are easier to adopt than a full-coverage base.

Put together a beauty gift that suits her

Before choosing, observe the person's routine: someone who applies make-up in five minutes will appreciate a mascara and a tinted balm, while a make-up enthusiast will be delighted with a palette of bolder shades. Sticking to the brand or range she already uses reduces the risk of error, especially for sensitive skin or contact lens wearers, who benefit from formulas tested under ophthalmological supervision. Pairing two or three coordinated products, such as a mascara, an eyebrow product, and a lipstick in a shade she often wears, makes a thoughtful gift. An unopened product can be kept for several months before being used.

Frequently asked questions

What make-up for green eyes?

Warm shades, plum, eggplant, copper or bronze, bring out the green of the iris by contrast. A brown-black mascara and a fine eyeliner line complete the gaze without looking harsh.

What make-up for blue eyes?

Orangey tones, copper, peach or bronze enhance the blue iris by contrast. Avoid blues that are too close to the eye's colour, which dulls them, and an intense black mascara will help open them up.

What make-up for brown eyes?

Almost all shades suit them: khaki, purple or navy blue reveal their golden highlights, while warm browns create a natural effect. A black or brown liner intensifies the gaze for the evening.

How to apply make-up on hooded eyelids?

Apply a slightly darker matte shade just above the crease, visible when eyes are open, to create depth. A fine eyeliner, extended towards the temple, lifts the eye, and keep shimmery shadows for the inner corner.

How to make your make-up last in hot weather?

A mattifying primer, lightweight textures, and waterproof formulas for the eyes help limit smudging. A setting spray and translucent powder applied in small touches throughout the day keep the complexion fresh despite the heat.
