Anyone added the cost of their daily makeup bag?

[Opheliasgoldenwine]

I've not thought about it and I'll probably be surprised but I wanted to see how much it all costs for everyday- this is not my entire collection.

Primer- Benefit Porefessional- £26
Foundation- MAC Studio Fix Fluid- £23.50
Concealer- Collection Lasting Perfection- £4
Brows- ABH Dipbrow Pomade- £19 but it's gone up recently.
Brow setter- Benefit 24 hour- £20
Eyeshadow- Urban Decay Naked 2 (or 3) Palette- £39.50
Eyeliner- Lancôme Artliner- £23
Mascara- Benefit Bad Girl Bang- £21.50
Lipstick- MAC- £16.50
Highlight- ABH Aurora Glow Kit- £41
Make Up Revolution Contour- £8

So my everyday look costs in total... £242

Anyone else willing to tot it all up and share/cry?

[OCSockOrphanage]

Never tally up the cost of looking decent! It's always way more than a DH will think necessary!

[GooodMythicalMorning]

£50 as it was a set (apparently worth that anyway, paid 25) I dont wear lot though.

[userofthiswebsite]

Oh mine is much of a muchness.
But that's £250 for lots of uses so...

PS I think you missed out your blusher so your cost is actually higher :-)

[PetiteMarseillaise]

Just the stuff I carry around with me on a day to day basis:

MAC powder £22.50
Chanel lipstick £25
NARS lipstick £21
NARS lip pencil £22
Lip balm £5
Total £95.50

If I include the base and eye make-up I use before I leave the house... easily another £100. It's terrible really.

[Callamia]

I think I spend about £150 per year on make-up. I feel ok about that.

I spend about the same on hair care, which somehow I feel less good about.

[PetiteMarseillaise]

It would be more if I included the cost of make-up brushes! And let's not get into skincare & perfume...

[ABuckToothedGirlinLuxembourg]

Primer: hourglass mineral veil £55
Foundation: Bobbi Brown Serum £45
Blusher: Nars Orgasm £24

[Gah81]

Mattifier - £28 (Becca)
Eyeshadow - £62 (Tom Ford)
Lipstick - £28 (Chanel)

[Gah81]

Forgot blusher - £16 - Liz Earle.

[littlepill]

Nooo! Everyone knows you should add up and divide by number of products in aforementioned bag. Get an average per 'piece'. I also like to work out my hourly rate and tally against said average...

[halfwitpicker]

I'm a cheapskate I really am.

Rimmel foundation - £5
Rimmel powder - £4
Maybeline mascara =£4
Eyeliner, think its Rimmel =£4

So about £20

Also got millions of lip balms that are about £1 each - Blistex variety

[FannytheW0nderDog]

£300 and I love every item in my make up bag. I totally ignore the 'use by' stickers on the powders in particular so if you work it out per 'wear' it's pence rather than pounds. I don't wear make up every day and I don't plaster it on but I wouldn't be without it. Mostly Bobbi Brown, No7 and some Bourjois.

[IveGotBillsTheyreMultiplying]

Halfwit

That's my make-up bag you've nicked. I know I'm a cheapskate but that'sworse than me.

[Gah81]

Oh littlepill let's not do the average per piece. Mine looks even worse then...

[littlepill]

Gah You need a £1 blemish thingy, or a concealer from the Pound Shop

[flouncybeetroot]

Primer - either £10 boots or £26 benefit
Foundation- £15 boots
Setting spray - £8 L'Oréal
Mascara - £25 benefit
Lipstick- £27 Dior, or a cheap balm or gloss

So £ 101!!

[Sailorjerrycherry]

[PorkSpork]

BB cream £12
Mascara £8
Lipstick £16
Eyeshadow £5
Happy with that.

[EnidButton]

I don't have a make up bag at home. The daily regular stuff is stored in one of those acrylic stand things. So, ignoring all the stuff on the drawer...

Daily everyday make up-
Lancome foundation £32
MUFE hd powder £24.50
Nars concealer £24
Amazing concealer £20
Laura mercier secret concealer £21
Diorshow mascara £25.50

17 eyeshadow (brow powder) £10
Maybelline lip balm £3.99
Dior lip glow £25.00

£306.49

Jesus Christ. That's genuinely shocking. I dread to think how much all the make up I own comes to. Bloody hell. I know a lot of it lasts ages and cost per wear is ok but that's a wake up call.
