Looking for a makeup gift for a friend. I want to get something that you can't easily find in the UK, something a little bit edgy but not too cartoonish. She has fair skin, black hair and a face that can wear bold colors and lippies like a dream. Suggestions please!

NYX lipsticks! I'm in the UK and The Beauty Store sells them (they're an online shop too). Only shop I know that sells them.

I love my NYX lippies, I'll post some swatches

Top to bottom

MUA Sweet Nectar
NYX Fire
NYX Snow White
NYX Cancun Pink
The bottom one is NYX Paris, I couldn't remember the other two.

Other NYX lipstick brights are Spellbound (bright pink), Extreme Red, Fig (pink) and Midnight Dinner (slightly darker red).

If you have a higher budget, you could always get her the Urban Decay 'Electric' palette.

Budget isn't a huge concern. I was thinking of the Electric Palette or the Sugar Pill Cold Chemistry, which is a bit smaller, but maybe more wearable? I could throw in some NYX lippies as well.

Thanks for the swatches, Hannah. The Snow White is gorgeous and would perfect on her.

Electric pallete and a bold mascara.

So I ended up getting a load of NYX stuff: the smokey eye kit with the palette, mascara, and eyeliner as well some lipsticks and a set of Sonia Kashuuk brushes. I just felt like the electric palette wasn't really her style. Thanks for the suggestions though, guys!
