Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys makeup and special effects, then you have an exciting range of gift options to explore! Here are a few meaningful and personalized gift ideas that could be perfect for him:

1. Special Effects Makeup Kit: Consider getting him a special effects makeup kit that contains all the essential items he needs to create stunning effects. Look for a kit that includes prosthetics, fake blood, sculpting tools, and different colors of makeup. This gift will allow him to experiment and improve his skills in special effects makeup.

2. Makeup Masterclass or Workshop: Another great gift idea is enrolling him in a makeup masterclass or workshop. Look for local or online workshops that specifically focus on special effects makeup. This way, he can learn new techniques from professionals in the field, hone his skills, and connect with other makeup enthusiasts.

3. Subscription to a Makeup Monthly Box: Consider signing him up for a subscription to a makeup monthly box service. There are several options available that cater specifically to aspiring makeup artists, including those focused on special effects and theatrical makeup. These subscription boxes will keep him excited and inspired throughout the year by delivering new makeup products, tools, and even tutorial guides.

4. Quality Makeup Brushes: Every makeup lover needs a good set of brushes. Invest in a high-quality set of makeup brushes designed for special effects makeup. Look for brushes with a variety of shapes and sizes to ensure he can create different looks and have precise control over application.

5. Book or DVD on Special Effects Makeup: Expand his knowledge of special effects makeup by gifting him a book or DVD that showcases different techniques and provides step-by-step tutorials. Look for titles written by renowned makeup artists to ensure he gets the best guidance and inspiration.

6. Customized Makeup Organizer or Bag: Help him keep his makeup collection organized and portable with a personalized makeup organizer or bag. You could have his name or a special message engraved or embroidered on it. Additionally, you can consider a bag with compartments and dividers to keep his different makeup items readily accessible.

7. Gift Card to a Special Effects Makeup Store: If you're unsure about his specific preferences or want him to choose his own products, consider getting a gift card to a special effects makeup store. This will give him the freedom to explore new brands, try out different products, and add to his existing collection.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows you understand and support your son's passion. By choosing a gift that aligns with his love for makeup and special effects, you'll not only make him happy but also encourage him to pursue this creative path.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
