Shopping for the perfect birthday gift for a loved one can feel overwhelming. It is so easy to fall down the rabbit hole of endless scrolling and drown in a sea of options We sometimes tend to forget that the best gifts aren’t flashy or over the top—they’re the ones that feel personal, the little things that slip into daily life and instantly remind you of the giver. Thankfully, we have Suhana Khan here to remind us.
The self-proclaimed queen of gift giving—and beauty enthusiast—has turned her birthday month into a crash course in thoughtful giving. She’s pulled together the products she reaches for on repeat—from mood-lifting pops of colour to can’t-skip staples that slide effortlessly into any routine. So, whether you are shopping for a carry-on-only jetsetter or for a friend who is the first on the dance floor and last to leave brunch, this list has you covered.
Think of this as Suhana’s ultimate cheat sheet—punchy, personal and ready to make every personality on your list feel loved.
The last thing you want when you are navigating the summer sun’s scorching glare is a cakey foundation that feels like it is weighing your skin down. This is where Maybelline’s long-wear formula comes in to deliver a weightless, feathery light finish that will keep you sweat-free and fuss-free all day long.
“A foodie definitely needs a lipstick that survives the feast,” Suhana says, “so it has to be the SuperStay Matte Ink.” She isn’t exaggerating. This liquid lipstick locks on for the long haul—think appetisers to after-dinner cake—without cracking or flaking. The arrow-shaped wand makes it easy to line and fill in one swipe, and the finish stays matte yet comfortable, no mid-meal touch-ups required. With shades that move easily from low-key brunch to late-night cocktails, it’s the obvious pick for anyone whose plans revolve around the next course.
Early birds need a base that looks fresh long after sunrise. Enter Lumi-Matte: a feather-light formula that works hard to even the skin tone, reduce shine and add a subtle illuminating glow. “I might not be up that early,” Suhana admits, “but I understand wanting skin that looks like I actually got a full night’s sleep.” The best part? Coverage is buildable, the feel is barely there and, once it sets, it resists sweat and rain.
Think red-carpet energy rather than a casual get-together—this party calls for lashes that can match the spectacle. Suhana says, “If their birthday party is basically a full-on production, then their makeup look should match the vibe.” Maybelline’s Colossal Mascara handles the brief in a single swipe, adding bold volume with coat one and true drama with coat two, all without a hint of clumping. The waterproof formula laughs off teary toasts and humid dance floors, so the host stays picture-perfect from the first entrance to the final encore.
Instant Eraser’s built-in sponge means quick dot-and-blend touch-ups between terminals, while the creamy formula brightens, conceals and hydrates for up to 12 hours. Suhana’s logic is simple: “This one’s for the travel junkie, because no one should look jet-lagged on their birthday.” Late-night layovers and surprise blemishes disappear, so the globe-trotter lands looking ready for cake.
