Teen girls often have firm opinions about style, so guessing at colours, shades or trends is risky. Gifts that let her try things her own way work well, like a cosmetic set with a range of shades or a good curling iron for trying new hairstyles.

How to choose for a teen girl

  • Pick makeup sets with a range of shades or neutral colours so she can experiment without needing an exact skin tone match.
  • For hair tools, choose adjustable heat settings so the straightener or curling iron can work for her hair type.
  • Brushes, sponges and other cosmetic tools are a smart choice when you're unsure what products she already uses.
  • If she's more into getting outside than makeup, a skateboard or skate gear can be a welcome surprise.

Usually safe to skip

  • Single foundation or concealer shades are hard to match without her there to test them.
  • Gifts that assume she's into beauty when her interests lie elsewhere can feel off the mark.
  • Very trendy colours or looks may already feel dated by the time she opens them.

Questions people ask about gifts for a teen girl

Is makeup a good gift for a teenage girl?
It can be if she already enjoys it. Sets with several shades, neutral tones or good tools are safer bets than single products, which depend on her skin tone and personal style.
Straightener or curling iron: which is the better gift for a teen girl?
Think about how she wears her hair now. If she often wears it sleek, a straightener fits; if she likes waves or curls, a curling iron fits better. Adjustable heat helps with either.
What do you buy a teen girl who doesn't wear makeup?
Look at what she does in her spare time instead. A skateboard or skate gear suits an active teen, and hair tools can still be a hit with girls who style their hair but skip makeup.
