I don’t think I can even remember the prices to be honest 🙈

poorstudent1010 · 07/12/2019 23:54

This thread makes me sad. My makeup bag was stolen yesterday and it has cost me hundreds to replace the contents! I can’t even repurchase certain items like OG Mac brushes before they switched to synthetic bristles Sad

didedonglydee · 08/12/2019 00:09

Love this thread! I used to have a makeup bag that said "Contents My Face" on it, reminds me of that.

My everyday face:

Beauty Pie Primer £6
Nars Sheer Glow Foundation £34
Nars Concealer £24
Nars Blusher £25
Beauty Pie Brow Powder £5
Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow £42
GOSH Mascara £10
Laura Mercier Setting Powder £30
Mac Lip Prep & Prime £13
Mac Lipstick £17

So about £200 which is actually not to bad, I don't think. I used to buy everything at the higher price point but I love experimenting with makeup and have found some great products that are cheaper and mix those in with my other favourites

Honeybee85 · 08/12/2019 01:11

Love to see all the responses 😄! Thanks everyone!

@Makeupstuff
The MAC blush in your picture looks like a very lovely shade of pink! Which one is it? Want to try it next time I visit a MAC counter 😍

I don't wear make up every day, but on the days I wear it for normal mooching around, doing nothing, i wear No7 bb cream, maybelline gel blush worth about £6 and mascara, worth about £9.

If I'm going out i wear foundation (£9), gel blusher, as above, eye shadow (£8), mascara, as above, eyeliner (£5), eyebrow powder (£6) and occasionally lipstick (£6).

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 08/12/2019 08:40

Hopefully I’ll never lose my make up... unless going away it doesn’t leave the house. Once my face is on in the morning I don’t need to “touch up” so I don’t take a make up bag out with me.

BestIsWest · 08/12/2019 09:02

Benefit concealer £20 (only if I’m feeling under the weather)
Lancôme Foundation £30
No 7 eyebrow kit £15
Bourjois eye pencil £7
No 7 mascara £12
No 7 blusher £12
Rimmel lipgloss £7

I do have a box of other stuff, lipsticks etc but this is everyday stuff.

RiskIt4Biscuit · 08/12/2019 10:24

I change my products very often, but this is what is in my makeup bag at the moment. I take a bag with me so I can do my makeup while my baby is napping.

Bobbi Brown Vitamin enriched face base, £37
L’Oreal infaillible 24h fresh wear foundation, £11
Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder, £30
Lumene brow gel, from advent calendar. €10
Clinique lash power mascara, bought in set of 3 in the airport with a massive discount. £17
Dior eyeshadow palette with 5 shadows. Free gift in set with mascara which was £20. I would not buy a new, full size of this - it’s not that good.
Charlotte Tilbury face palette, £49 (I bought this on sale and did not pay full price, but don’t remember what I paid)
Hourglass ambient volume 3 palette, £65
Pat Mcgrath palette 5 shadow palette, £30
Kaplan MD lip mask, £35
Laneige lip sleeping mask (use as lip balm during the day), £18
Milani lipstick, £7
Pat Mcgrath lipstick, £37
Lisa Eldridge lipstick, £26

Too much money.

Thanks @Makeupstuff
It’s on my list to try- together with Pinch Me.
Hopefully it looks nice on my NC 20 skin.

It reminds me of one of my fave bronzers , Bobbi Brown Maui.

Standard going to work face:
This Works primer 32
Eldw light foundation 34
Eldw concealer 24
Mac mineralise blush 23.5
Beauty pie brow pen 3.3
Glossier boy brow 15
Mac eye palette 26
Beauty pie gel eyeliner 5.3
Collection mascara 5
Glossier lipstick/balm 15
Beauty Pie powder 5.5

Which all comes to just under £194. If I'm having a red lippy day then probs another £20 on Mac liner and lipstick.

I think I'll probably try to move from my Mac shadows to Beauty Pie equivalents when they run out. But I did find the BP Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser dupe (my summer foundation) too oily, so I'll probably stick with my EL base. My five pound collection mascara is better than the EL equivalent though!

MardyGrass · 08/12/2019 15:43

Clinique primer -£15
Loreal concealer -£5
Clinique foundation £25
Chanel eyeliner -£22
No7 eyeshadow£5
Bobbie Brown brick bronzer
£28
Lancôme mascara £23ish
Mac lipcolour -stolen from daughter who didn't like it so no idea
Gosh quite a lot isn't it?

HelloIsitXmasTreeYoureLookingF · 12/12/2019 14:30

I'll find mine in a bit and update!

LilyJade · 12/12/2019 16:59

Most of these are approximate prices

Boots No7 Airbrush Away pore minimising primer £16.50
Boots No7 BB cream ?£16
Revlon powder blush ?£4
Clinique stay matte sheer pressed powder ?£25
Clinique airbrush concealer?£20
Clinique Superfine liner for brows £17
Clinique eyeshadow £20
Boots No7 smoky powder eyeliner £8
Clinique High Impact mascara £17
Clinique Bare Pop lipstick £17
Clinique Party Pop lipstick £17

So approx £170 - £180!!

I like the eye products I use as I often fall asleep in my makeup (I know it's bad) & get no irritation.
The only product that I have to buy really regularly is the eyebrow liner.
