Makeup kit
No woman ever said no to makeup. And most of them spend a huge amount of time to put together a vanity kit, especially if putting on kajal and mascara was her idea of ‘make-up’. Show some love and buy her a part of it as her wedding present. While foundations and concealers are skin, complexion, and brand specific, you could always pick out essential shades of nail paints and lip colors. Add on a kohl pencil, the latest mascara in the market, and a few cleansers and makeup brushes. Sephora also stacks some amazing beauty kits that are shade specific. Still wondering what to give your best friend for wedding?
