If you have a makeup lover on your Christmas list and you’re struggling to figure out what cosmetics brand to buy, we’ve got an answer for you. Thanks to a poll conducted by the company Influenster, you can discover which beauty brand is most popular by state. Using this beauty product knowledge, you can find a glamorous holiday gift for your friend or family member she’s pretty much guaranteed to love.
By offering the 4,065 female respondents a choice between the top-reviewed beauty brands on the internet, Influenster found that the most sought-after beauty brand is Anastasia Beverly Hills.
However, if you’re more interested in knowing what your friend’s state is the most into, then check out the map below.
Since Anastasia reigned supreme, it shouldn’t be surprising that it was the number one choice in 10 states: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington. So if your friend lives in one of those states — or wants to contour or fill in her brows like Kim Kardashian — Anastasia’s items are the products to go for.
