DIOR

When it comes to glamorous, exquisite makeup, Dior is one of the top brands that come to mind. Which is why it comes as no surprise that this should be one of the most coveted gifts any girl would want underneath her Christmas tree. Of course, since makeup is customized to suit every skin tone, it would be best to take your best girl to one of Dior’s illuminated makeup counters for an alluring makeover.

This is all part of a well-devised plan, of course, in order to get her exact foundation shade and clue in on all the makeup palettes and lipstick shades that suit her complexion. Dior has an impressive skin analyzing device that can not only tell you the state your skin is in, but can also deliver your exact foundation shade (no need to guess her shade), which is why it is suggested to bring your special someone to Dior. If this isn’t possible, there are many more stocking stuffers that suit virtually all skin tones, it is only a matter of choosing which one.
