It depends on what you consider cheap. Used options for all of these are available at very reasonable prices, though I don't personally think that the new prices are super high, though I do know of the more expensive books you've probably seen like the Wegner book for closer to a hundred.

I think this book on interior design could be cool, or even this book, which details the history of makeup. I'm sure she'd love that one.
I think having an interest in makeup is fine, and as long as she feels confident and isn't hurting anyone, I don't think you need to worry :)
Since she's studying interior design, I'm sure she needs a portfolio. She might really like a nice portfolio book for showing off her work.
