This year, Mother’s Day is no doubt going to look and feel very different from previous celebrations. With stay-at-home orders still in effect for the foreseeable future, that annual Sunday brunch gathering or trip to the spa is out of the question. Quarantine life aside, though, that doesn’t mean we can’t treat those special superwomen in our life come May 11th. From luxurious face masks that will bring a sense of pampering into one’s own bathroom to fun and innovative makeup staples for that next Zoom meeting, we’ve rounded up some noteworthy beauty buys to help put a smile on her face, whether that be your mom, aunty, your best friend — whoever.

19/99 Beauty Multi-Purpose Trio
($46, 19/99 Beauty)
19/99 Beauty, a brand new Canadian cosmetic line, immediately caught our attention with its ageless beauty ethos: “We deserve a more open and multi-generational dialogue about what beauty looks like at all stages of our lives, from ages 19 to 99,” stated the brand in a press release. #Love. If mom likes beauty products that pull double, even triple-duty, then bag her 19/99 Beauty’s multitasking starter set: the red Precision Colour Pencil can be used on the eyes and lips, and the clear High-Shine Gloss is made for eyes, lips or cheeks. Use it alone or on top of makeup.
