Few makeup palettes yield perfect gifts for both the makeup novice AND the makeup obsessed, but SURPRISE! JK Jemma Kidd‘s epic compilation of essentials and array of shimmery shadow shades ranging from gossamer to full-on sultry would welcome anyone’s makeup bag to the next level, in the ’90s parlance of Sega Genesis.

Have I mentioned that growing up with a brother who’s five years my senior meant I was never allowed to choose what shows we watched (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Thundercats and Quantum Leap)? This explains my irrational love of sci-fi television shows We also played a strange amount of Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis (among other things, of course).

A genesis of beautiful New Year’s Eve makeup concepts, the kit boasts all the contents of the JK Jemma Kidd Mannequin Skin Perfect Palette (concealer correctors that glamouflage all manner of imperfections); a bronzer, two blushes and a highlighter; 12 shadow shades for all your holiday party needs; and four utterly wearable lip glosses. All for the fantastic price of $35. It’s great for everyone: Buy one for your neighbor who’s nice enough to watch your pets, your teen niece and your mother-in-law.

Your giftee will welcome the convenience of an all-in-one beautification MACHINE in a single compact square and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you helped someone bring their makeup game to the next level. It’s a palatable palette, if you will.
