If you added up the purchase price of your cosmetics

[hisno1girl]

What would the damage be?



Cosmetics only. Do not include skin care.

[wambam]

$7.50

LOL

I hate makeup and avoid it at all costs.

[Deleted]

I wear no make up in my day to day. Wear minimal for some events, wear more for things like weddings.

Though, I would like to start wearing a tiny bit in my day to day, but I am pretty clueless about make-up.

[sunshineluv]

As in how much money I have spent on all the cosmetics I own currently?

Oh man........ So much money.

I love buying makeup. It is so fun to play with.

YouTube make up tutorials are the best!

[pinkdutchtulips]

My monthly subscription box from Julep ups that one quickly !

[knx9211]

JUST makeup? or skin care, too?

[knx9211]

If it's just makeup, the stuff I use every day adds up over $400. But that includes both Naked palettes, which I obviously don't use both each day.

[YahYahs]

Just the makeup that I use daily, the brands I have right now, I think runs about $150. I have a mix of mid-level brands and cheapie at the moment (I think my foundation, concealer, and matte powder were all around $35/each and then I'm using drugstore mascara/brows, and a decent eye pallet that I got at Nordstrom Rack at a discount).

I have 28 palettes or something like that. So I'm sure my total is ridiculous. And if you add in my 15 yo dd's makeup which I paid for, and we share.....I don't want to talk about this anymore.

See, I only own a little bit because it took me over a decade to even figure out the basics, so I'm not traveling into more, new makeup. I just own foundation, under eye concealer, eye shadow primer, powder, blush, 2 naked palettes, eyebrow powder, eye liner, and mascara. Oh and a lipstick. I'm not very adventurous. I have to stick with what I know, which is not much. All of my makeup can fit into one very small bag.

[gilmoregirl]

Just makeup was a lot. Makeup and skincare together... SMH I will never tell!!

[followyourarrow]

I recently counted my lipsticks and have 26 of them. Average $20 each and just lipstick is $520. 15 eye shadow pallets, $30 average being very conservative, and that's $450. I don't even want to think about mascara, eye liner, foundation, blushes, and nail polishes. It's a lot.

[verycontrary247]

For daily wear? Around $100-150 in estimating

Cheap BB cream, Bare Minerals matte foundation, smashbox primer, Anastasia of Beverly Hills brow duo, cheap bronzer, Urban Decay makeup setting spray.

All the pricey stuff lasts forever though.

For all my makeup total? Thousands of dollars. I don't want to think about it.

[knx9211]

Oh man, I didn't feel so bad about my spending when I saw others numbers... but now knowing that others are spending that much because they own 10000 eye shadows and 400 lipsticks and I own 2 and 1 of each, respectively... I think I might be buying things that are too expensive.

[fluffernutter]

Zero dollars. I stopped wearing makeup when I was pregnant.

[cabbagecabbage]

I estimate I own in the $100-200 range of items and I probably spend $50-100 a year on makeup. I use mascara and BB cream sparingly and the rest sits and waits for my next big night out. Ha!

[rageragerage]

It's my hobby, OKAY?!?!?!?

A lot. I spend a lot to still look like a hot mess.

And in the last few months my previously normal skin has gotten hella oily, so I see more investments in my future. Thanks 40.

[bl]

oh man, so much money. Probably several thousand for makeup and at least another 1-2k for skincare. It is my fiancés number one complaint.

I was rouge for a few years. I cut back in 2016.

I own 1 lipstick and I wear it maybe 1-2x/year. I put it on, decide it's too much, then scrub it off and just use lip balm.

[NewGirlNic]

Like, ever? Or just what I currently own/use?

Ever is well over $2000. I really don't want to think about it. Before kids, when I had more fun money, I remember going into Sephora monthly and dropping $200, easy.

I spent $650 at Sephora last year, but that includes some skin care. Probably another $200 at Ulta and $200 at places like Target, CVS, Walgreens etc. Maybe more.

Quick add up of the stuff I use daily/weekly, around $230. Then I think about the brushes/applicators I use daily and that's a whole 'nother story.

I use a combo of drugstore and prestige brands. One of my goals for 2017 is to find more dupes for the pricey items I use.

[Champagne Supernova]

I have an eyeshadow palette and blush palette addiction.

I'm trying to cut back but fuuuuuuuuh.

[BaliHai]

$31-
$14 for concealer
$12 for shine control powder
$5 for lip gloss (which is a stretch, it's actually Yes to Coconut cooling lip oil that is sort of glossy once on, lol).

ETA- I'm actually trying to get my skin to a point where I don't need to wear makeup, since I wear the very bare minimum anyway. Now skincare and toiletries are an entirely different, expensive story.

[youhadmycuriosity]

Probably between $200-300. I don't own a lot but in recent years started only purchasing more expensive brands because they last forever, seem to be less harsh on my skin, and I really only have one BB cream, one bronzer, one blush, on mascara, one eyeliner, etc at a time until the run out. I have a couple eyeshadow palettes and a few lipsticks.

[redheadbaker]

I'm not sure I want to do the math. Ignorance is bliss and all.

[bonquiqui]

NO!

[flex]

I don't pay attention to how much I spend, but I don't use a lot of makeup these days.

[Deleted]

I wear makeup, like, once a month. Maybe. I feel like that's being generous. I've mostly given up wearing makeup.

So, what little makeup I do own? Somewhere around $300.

[vicky]

I'm not allowed to play this game as I once had a gofundme.
