Makeup Bouquet Gift Ideas
Must-Have Essentials For A Perfect Bouquet:
What to put in a makeup gift basket or makeup bouquet?
- Flowers: I also recommended getting the recipient’s favorite color
- Makeup Products: You can choose a variety of products (lip gloss, foundation, skincare, mini perfume bottles, and so much more!)
- Wooden Screwers: This will act as the “stem” of your makeup products
- Foam Block: This will act as your base
- Decorative Wrapping: Tissue paper, gift wrap, and bouquet paper
- Hot glue gun/tape: to connect the screwers to the makeup products
- Scissors: cut the decorative wrapping paper
- Finishing touches: ribbons, bows, a personal card
How to make a makeup bouquet?
Creating a makeup bouquet is easier than you might think. In fact, with just a few essential items, you can put one together in under 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of makeup products you have.
Here are five simple steps to help you create a stunning makeup bouquet:
- Grab your foam block to create a study base.
- Glue or tape your makeup items onto your wooden screwer. This will turn your makeup products into “flowers”.
- Add your flowers and greenery to fill in the gaps.
- Wrap and cover the foam block with decorative paper of your choice.
- Tie a ribbon around the bouquet to complete this look!
What is the best makeup to use in a bouquet?
Honestly, there is no right or wrong answer for what makeup products you should include in your diy bouquet.
Whether it’s luxury makeup products or skincare essentials.. the only rule I like to tell everyone creating one for the first time is HAVE FUN!
Creating bouquets has been an outlet for me to express my creativity and see the smiles on the faces of the recipients.
What occasions are makeup bouquets good for?
Every day is a great day to receive a makeup bouquet, especially since every girl deserves flowers!
This thoughtful and creative gift is perfect for occasions beyond just birthdays; it’s ideal for weddings, graduations, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, holidays, and even as a thank-you gift.
I’ve also created DIY flower bouquets for girls’ night, and my friends rave about them every time!
Birthday Bouquet
One of my favorite things to recreate is a birthday bouquet. It makes the perfect birthday gift without being overly expensive.
I’ve copied this exact idea for my teen niece and filled it in with her makeup products, and she was obsessed!
Fun fact: you can purchase mini number balloons at the Dollar Tree. Sadly, the Dollar Tree is no longer a dollar; it now costs $1.25. Haha!
Hello Kitty Bouquet
Growing up, every girl’s wish list usually included either Hello Kitty or Bratz. If you were like me, you wanted both! Haha.
Hello Kitty is such a nostalgic character, making it a great idea for wrapping paper.
If she loves Hello Kitty, she will definitely appreciate this clever choice!
Dior Makeup Bouquet
Now this is the PERFECT idea for the aesthetic and bougie friend.
If she loves luxury and high fashion, she will for sure know you understood the assignment.
Especially, if you dior her*!
*Dior her: adore or treat with great care or love
Jellycats
Jellycats are absolutely everywhere right now, and it’s no wonder why!
These adorable stuffed toys are no longer just for kids anymore; they’re making waves with all age groups, especially adults who can’t get enough of them.
This isn’t your typical bouquet. What I love most is the creative twist of using a cup holder as the base, which is pure genius! It adds a fun and thoughtful touch!
Add Gift Cards
Including gift cards in your makeup bouquet is such a smart idea!
It prevents you from playing the guessing game, not knowing which makeup products the recipient would like.
Now you’re both happy because they can actually choose their favorites themselves.
Stanely Bouquet
Instead of using a foam as your base, you can use a Stanley Cup!
The Stanley Cup bouquets are viral on TikTok for a reason. Such a cute idea, especially if she loves Stanley cups!
Rose Bouquet
Roses are a girl’s best friend! You could never go wrong with gifting her a diy makeup bouquet filled with roses.
Like seriously, how adorable are these!?? If she loves pink and all things girly, this is the perfect bouquet to create for her.
P.S. This will make an insanely good Valentine’s Day bouquet for your girlfriend or bestie!
Adding Personal Touches
Pro Tip: Add personal touches such as handwritten cards, charms, or photos tucked into the bouquet.
This idea is perfect for a teenage girl celebrating her last year as a teen!
Although a handwritten note is a simple addition, it makes the gesture even more special. 🙂
