Guys, Gals, And Cosmetics
By David Gross

You're a male floundering around for a special gift for the significant female in your life, and think she would love a new supply of cosmetics. But you will have to either get the information on which cosmetics she uses from her female friends, or, if you are living together, observe her in the course of her daily makeup rituals and make a note of what cosmetics she uses. You can extend the detective work to her pre and post makeup supplies as well. Order your cosmetics online and take them to a florist for wrapping. And enjoy her enjoyment!

Is There A Safe Way To Give Her Cosmetics?

You're a guy, and your understanding of cosmetics is, shall we say, skin deep. You have no clue as to why anyone of the opposite sex can spend so much time searching for the perfect cosmetics, when you think the woman in your looks just fine the way she is. But you've decided that you'd like to treat her to some really special cosmetics for her next birthday (if you can pull it off without having her wonder if she's looking been older lately!) So you need help.

The first thing you should realize, however, before you put a lot of effort into your search, is that the vast majority of women like to decide on their own cosmetic choices, perhaps the way you like to choose your brand of cologne. Cosmetics really are a matter of personal inclination, so unless you know your lady very. very well, your well intended gift may miss the mark.

How To Find Out What She Uses

But if you think you can stay safe by loading up on the cosmetics she is already using, and you aren't sharing living quarters, you'll have to put on your sleuthing shoes. Talk to her female friends who accompany her on shopping trips, and see what they can tell you about her cosmetics preferences.

If, however, the two of you are housemates, your work will be considerably easier. You probably already know where she likes to apply her makeup, and wherever it is, bathroom sink or bedroom vanity, the cosmetics will be close by. But if you are uncomfortable with the idea of snooping in her things, you can simply pay a bit more attention the next time she applies some of her cosmetics, and write down the names of the foundation, eye shadow and mascara (that's the stuff she puts on her eyelashes), the blusher, and whatever she uses to color her lips, on the sly.

Those items will be the ones she uses most frequently, and should have the most prominent place in your gift package. But if you really want to impress her, you should also try to get a look at what she uses on her face both before the cosmetics go on, and after they come off. She undoubtedly has favorite skin cleansers, toners, scrubs, and moisturizers, and those things can be even more expensive than tthe actual cosmetics.

Doing Your Shopping And Wrapping

When you have compiled your list, you can either shop for the items online, or hit the local department stores, but unless you don't mind hanging around the cosmetics counters, you will probably be happier with the online approach,

When you have collected all the cosmetics, you can take them to a local florist and have them made up into a gorgeous gift basket, complete with ribbons and your card, for a reasonable fee. You can even pay them to deliver it on the big day if you like, or you can find an up close and romantic way to surprise her.

Being Prepared For The Aftermath

And remember, you won't have to get the information on her cosmetics very often, as they last a good while. But she is absolutely going to love the idea of asking you to stop and pick up some of her foundation on your way home from work the next time she runs out.

So be prepared!
