Suzy Gerstein, Celebrity Makeup Artist

"This Lip Suede compact is a favorite of mine and my clients alike for both its style and substance. The chic, glossy red compact looks like jewelry on your vanity, and the four pigment-rich shades inside may be worn individually or layered together for infinite possibilities. I love that the formula works on lips and cheeks and punches up shades mom already likely has in her makeup wardrobe (try patting a dot of the fuchsia in the center of a too-dull nude lipstick for an instant spring refresh). I love applying it with the brush for precision."

"Westman’s Superloaded Tinted Highlight is my favorite finishing touch to add warmth, luminosity, and structure to a look. It is such a flattering product for Zooms because it adds an IRL filter, and the brush is soooo soft and luscious and makes it even more of a joy to apply."

"This bath oil from Susanne Kauffmann is the type of special indulgence that mom wouldn’t pick up for herself, but will be so grateful you did. Susanne creates her products with luxury and sustainability in mind, formulating with plants local to her family farms in Austria and tested out in her luxe eco spa on the property. Transport mom to those idyllic locals through her senses."

"Tools are one of my favorite things to gift, as they last forever and feel so luxurious. The Gold Bar from Jillian Dempsey is so high quality and glamorous, the mom in your life will feel like a queen every time she uses it. This 24k gold vibrating bar helps sculpt, lift and massage the face. I keep one in my pro kit!"

"For makeup, I love to gift moms things that are versatile so she can use them every day, but also on days where she wants to get more glammed up. Blunder Cover is my all-in-one foundation/concealer hybrid and as a mom, it’s my favorite because I can use my fingers for a quick conceal, or build it up and use it to highlight and contour on my heavier makeup days. It’s also great for mature skin — it never settles into fine lines or wrinkles."

Made of upcycled leather and incredibly beautiful, these are extra special because you can swap out the ethically formulated luxury lipsticks as you please. A thoughtful gift for your mom, and for the planet."

Katey Denno, Celebrity Makeup Artist

"My absolutely favorite new product on the scene is the antioxidant CBD face oil from True Botanicals. I’ve been testing it for nearly the last two months and it’s replaced the ten different oils I’d been cycling through every morning and night. It makes my skin feel and look exactly how I like it – glowy, hydrated, no dry or scaley or red patches, no breakouts, and honestly the thing that keeps me craving it is the scent. It’s really my favorite (all naturally) scented face oil ever (mainly because it contains bergamot and jasmine), and I don’t make it a habit to ever say anything is my favorite ANYTHING. But it’s true! They say they’ve formulated it for all skin types, and because inflammation is to blame for so much of our "aging" skin woes, the fact that it contains a high dose of anti-inflaming CBD makes it both trendy and scientifically on-target."

"Then there’s Tata Harper’s body oil. It’s an old favorite that never gets old. It’s on my bedside table and in my bathroom within reach of the shower. It’s my signature scent and I love how it makes my otherwise very dry arms and legs glow – and a little goes a very long way, especially on damp skin. Plus the bottle is gorgeous and unique and the packaging looks gift-wrapped already. Just put a little bow on it."

"NuFace Trinity is one of my favorite facial devices and is something I think every mother would love. It’s an amazing anti-aging device that takes only 5 minutes of time to use each day. I’ve been using it since I’ve had the baby and I honestly look forward to my 5-minute routine with it each day. It’s a bit of a splurge, so makes an amazing gift idea."
