How Much is My Face Worth?



I've never actually put any thought into how much money makeup actually costs. It's one of those things that I know is expensive but just feels so worth it. There's no better feeling that finding the perfect red lipstick or an eyeliner that makes cat flicks super easy but doesn't wander down your face. Makeup is quite possibly one of my favourite things!

I thought that I'd actually tot up exactly how much money I would need to spend to complete one face of make up. I mean it's all well and good having a jolly around Boots and picking up a few things, it's when it hits you that with only 4 things in your basket you've managed to gather over £30 worth of products. Oopsie. 

So here is my unedited current face, yes, most of it is drugstore makeup so this isn't going to get scary expensive too quickly- but you'd be surprised. Let's have a look at how much it's actually set me back. 

Base (Foundation, Concealer and Powder)- (£9 + £5.50 + £9)- £23.50
Contour palette- £10 
Blush/Highlight- £11
Brows- £5
Eyeshadow- £38
Eyeliner- £7
Mascara- £10
Lip Balm- £4.50 
Setting Spray- £21

Total....£130!! 

Yes folks, that's £130 on one face of make up! And that's not including the money spent on brushes... *faints* Maybe it's time to start shopping my own stash and see what I can't use up before buying any more...
