How Much Does My Face Cost?

There has been a tag going around having you look at the makeup that you use on a daily basis and then you calculate how much your face costs. I'm pretty sure mine is going to be crazy because I tend to use a lot of products on a daily basis. I decided to also total the brushes that I use daily. Those are really expensive but I'll include them for this post.

How Much Does My Face Cost?




Benefit Watt's Up-$30
Benefit Eye Bright-$20
Tarte Inner Rim Brightener-$18
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Original-$20
Tarte Dollface Blush-$25
Make Up For Ever HD Blush in #5-$26
Dior Lip Gloss in Sari Pink-$28
Lancome Cils Booster XL-$23
Mabyelline Dream Fresh BB Cream$10.49
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Brightener-$9.99
Jordana Best Lash Extreme-$3.99
Maybelline Lash Discovery Waterproof Black-$7.29
Giorgio Armani Master Corrector #1-$37
Milanai HD Advanced Corrector  01-$7.49
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Carnation-$8.99
Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara-$5.99
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner in Brown-$9.99
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige-$6.99
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent-$5.49

Total for Makeup=$397.69


How Much Does My Face Cost?

I forgot to include my eyelash curler so I will include that in the pricing below.

Kevyn Aucoin Eyelash Curler-$20
Beauty Blender-$19.95
EcoTools Blush Brush-$7.25
EcoTools Powder Brush-$8.99
Real Techniques Buffing Brush-$4.50
Hakuhodo S103-$93
Hakuhodo S142-$40
Laura Mercier Camouflage Powder Brush-$28
Sephora Eyebrow Brush-$18 (this brush is really old so I'm not sure the price)
Sigma E70 Brush-$9

Total for Brushes=$230.69

GRAND TOTAL=$628.38

So yes this is a crazy amount of money to spend on your face everyday. Crazy isn't even the word. I cannot believe the much my total is actually. I think if I wore less makeup on a daily basis my total would be less but I'm not sure what I could cut out. I obviously got deals on a lot of these products so this isn't really the true cost but this does give you a sense of what my "face costs". Apparently a lot! I'd love to know what your face costs? If you do a post on this let me know or let me know in the comments below.

      They are not all that expensive but the red ones are the most. This brush is crazy expensive. I don't know what I was thinking that day but it is an amazing brush.
