Fun Beauty Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day and Beyond

Mother's Day is coming up, and whether you’re planning ahead like the good child you are or last-minute shopping like everyone else, it’s always helpful to have gift ideas for mom. Besides the obligatory brunch date, if your mom is a beauty queen who inspired your love of makeup, cosmetic gifts are an excellent gifting option.


While she might have most of the essentials already, here are a few luxurious springtime-approved cosmetic items she's sure to love, whether you’re celebrating Mother’s Day, her birthday, or just because.

Protect Her Skin: CC Cream with SPF

Remember the days spent at the beach or park when you were younger? Do you also remember how mom would always make you lather up in sunblock? While it might have been an annoyance when you were younger, she had your skin’s best interest in mind. Thank her for her diligence and return the favor with a CC cream that works like an upgraded version of tinted moisturizer with built-in broad spectrum SPF 35 protection. With a CC cream, she can create the perfect foundation for the rest of her look while promoting skin health and protecting her skin form harmful UVA and UVB rays on even the sunniest spring days.

Literal Beauty Rest: Overnight Mask

With an overnight mask, you can give your mom the gift of literal beauty rest with an overnight formula that goes beneath the surface to help her wake up looking her best. A high-quality overnight mask will transform dull skin with hydrating properties that fight against fine lines and wrinkles as the skin repairs itself during the night. Look for one with ingredients like melatonin, licorice root extract, and essential oils so your mom can not only feel her best but also look her best in the morning.

A Sun-Kissed Glow: Bronzer

Summer is right around the corner (or practically here depending on where you live), and a sun-kissed glow is a must for any warm-weather look. Gift your mom a premium bronzing powder to light up her complexion and add a nice glow. The best bronzing powders will do more than just add a bit of color, but will also work to plump, hydrate, and replenish her skin. Choose one that blends well so she can use it with other products or on its own.

Tools of the Trade: Brushes and More

Finally, everyone could use accessories to either replace old worn-out ones or as a refresh for the changing seasons. If you have exhausted your ideas for makeup essentials or have a few already, skip the gift bag and get mom a floral printed makeup bag to keep all of her new things together. Also, some high-quality vegan makeup brushes or a whole set are great add-ons or standalone gifts as well.

Whatever You Get Her, Go Cruelty-Free

In 2019 and beyond, there is no reason to support harmful practices in the cosmetics industry, so whatever you choose to get mom, go the cruelty-free, vegan route. Whether it’s an upgraded version of tinted sunscreen in the form of a CC cream or a lengthening mascara to make her eyes pop, cosmetic technology has come a long way, and these cruelty-free options are better, more ethical products that your mom will be sure to love.
