The following gift ideas are sure to impress the makeup-obsessed, from status-symbol lipsticks to wildly well-priced exclusive sets. No matter which you choose, you'll come across as one very savvy bestower of beauty . . . even if you don't know lip lacquer from lip balm. Ahead, our can't-miss picks — all of them under $50, to boot.
