For that make-up obsessed BFF,  the Kevyn Aucoin THE LOOSE SHIMMER SHADOW set ($65) one, because it’s brand-new so you know she hasn’t bought it for herself yet and two, the shimmering shades look good on everyone! (Believe me, All the beauty editors at DCN tried them out so we can attest to that.)

The trio of best selling shades –Topaz, Rose Quartz, and Candlelight — can be worn alone for a stunning shimmering effect, or layered over eye shadow to create dimension. We also like it as a highlighter.

It also comes in this beautiful custom packaging by Justin Teodoro, so no need to add wrapping paper. Add a bow and you’re done.
