You can’t tell me that you aren’t curious about how much your own face costs. Makeup is damn expensive and it has GOT to add up! So I’ve seen this going around in the blog world for a bit, and when Kaitlyn did it, I definitely wanted to compare!
I don’t use a lot of makeup (okay, I mean eye makeup), so this will just be my everyday face. I use eyeliner and eyeshadow on rare occasion, because, well, I’m just not good at it. Let’s break it down!
Real Techniques Brushes:
- Expert Face Brush $8.99
- Blush Brush $8.99
- Setting Brush $7.99
- Powder Brush $9.99
NYX Cosmetics Studio Perfect Primer in Clear $12.99
Clinique Even Better Broad Spectrum SPF 15 $27
Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Powder $7.99
Clinique Blushing Blush Powder in Sunset Glow $23
Urban Decay Cosmetics Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder for Face and Body $32
Eyelure Brow Pencil $6.99
Covergirl So Lashy! blastPRO Mascara $11.99
NYX Cosmetics Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray $7.99
All for a grand total of $205.91!
Damn! I knew I should be using it more sparingly! Is this number too low or too high for some of you? I’d like to hear some comparisons if you know your number!

Yeah it’s probably best that we just don’t add up numbers like this anymore.

Holy smokes, this is another good reason why I don’t wear makeup! 😂 I mean, all things considered, I think this number isn’t too bad, especially since things like the brushes you shouldn’t have to rebuy that often. As I said, I don’t wear makeup, so my number is $0, unless you count the witch hazel I use to clean my face which is probably like $8 a bottle. I really want to experiment with makeup, but I have no clue where to start, since no one in my family wears it and haven’t all my life. Plus the price and the TIME I’d have to spend putting it on and taking it off…when you’re used to not having to do anything it feels like you’re robbing me of my time, lol. Put all those things together and you can see why I haven’t bothered yet. Maybe one day, but not now. 🤣 #imsolazy

Haha, yeah, I am the queen of lazy I think. I have to really want to do something to be motivated to do it. Maybe if I tried it I would enjoy it, but I’m too lazy/broke to try atm. 😂

So now my question for you – how long do the supplies last?? If you divide it per day, I’ll bet is it “cheap”!! Is it worth pennies (ok, maybe quarters) a day??

So true!!! Most of the products last for a couple months if not more! So it’s really not THAT bad
