By Samantha Callender · Updated October 24, 2020

These days, makeup has turned into a global beauty community that is all about the glitz and glam. While there’s nothing wrong with some razzle and dazzle, not every woman is into the super glam Insta-looks.

For the women in your life that prefer makeup that is subtle yet pretty, such as your mom, aunt or godmother, we’ve compiled a list of a few brands that provide excellent coverage, quality, and products that work for the woman who wants to do more with less, and make excellent Christmas gifts.
