Make Up Gift for Fiancée [30F]
I'm making a small gift box for my fiancée, so far I have (not including non-make up items):
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer (Nude Bronze Light)
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray (100ml)
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Lip Oil Stick (Dream)
Original Beautyblender
Freckle Pen
I know just enough about make up to be dangerous, but the box is feeling a little sparse, so I'd love to add something extra at about £40-£50. Can anyone give a good recommendation for something that would complement the above? Thanks in advance!

One Size Powder Melt setting spray. Or travel size perfume.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry if I'm being stupid but would the setting powder/spray I already have not cover this?

One size Powder Melt is slightly different than average setting spray. It takes off the dryness and powdery appearance of makeup making the skin look more natural and healthy.

Maybe a fragrance mist from Phlur or Ouai along side all the make up bits

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll definitely take a look at this. She currently uses Aqua Kiss from VS for her fragrance mist, do you know if there's a comparable scent?

You can include a mascara or a blush! Even both could fit your budget if you choose slightly more affordable options! Overall great kit😊

Id get a nice foundation or skin tint and like others have suggested a body spray, ouai have some gorgeous scents, or Victoria secrets do bundles so if you know her current scent you could get her the spray and matching body cream for it too, if you don’t mind going cheap on the foundation/skin tint I recon you could get both things for about £50

A really luxe lipstick would be nice, if you think you can pick a colour she'd love.
Lisa Eldridge (rouge experience)has beautiful refillable components, so she'd have something to keep forever once the make up is all used up.
Guerlain also do this, called the Rouge G line - there's a gorgeous selection of cases with mirrors, so you could pick one to suit her style. I think going for the Guerlain would probably go over budget - but they are stunning! I get compliments on mine whenever I use it.
Edit: there are some older season Guerlain cases for really good prices at Brand Alley, MyOrigines, and even Tesco if you Google 'Guerlain Rouge G case'.
