How Much Is My Face?

I was tagged the other day by Tania over at Make Up Maggie (who is a total sweetheart so be sure to have a look at her blog!) to do a How Much Is My Face post. I have never really stopped to think about how much money it costs for everything is use before so I thought this post was such a good idea, so here is my version. I based it off my everyday make-up look, which for me is very simplistic and a 'try to be natural' look.

After I have cleansed my skin I used the Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer for Normal to Combination Skin. I have only started to try this but I really like it so far and keeps my  makeup from sliding down my face. It also helps hydrate the skin which is a plus! This costs £4.99.

Then I went round all my blemishes and red patches with my new No7 Match Made Concealer  which costs £7.50 and followed with the No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation which costs £12.95. I really like this foundation so far, it matches my skin perfectly and I don't have to follow with a powder as it's already 'matte'. I applied this using the Real Techniques Contour Brush (I don't actually use any of these brushes for their intended purpose - just warning you all) and I find this brush perfect for putting on my foundation as I can blend it out really easily.

After I stroked a tiny amount of the No7 Perfectly Bronzed Dual Bronzer which cost £11.50. I have a feeling this is going to last a while as you really don't need a lot of product on the brush (I use a regular powder brush for this).

Next is eyeshadow. I use the Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quad in the shade 'Mocha Latte'. They have re-designed it but it's basically the same palette. I love this palette so much, it's the only palette I use and the colours are lovely. I put the lightest colour all over my eyelid using the Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush, then put the lightest brown in the crease of my eye and blend from the outer corner using the Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush (as I said - I don't use them for their intended purposes - take that Real Techniques! - aha). I also put a little under the eye as a sort-of-eyeliner using the Real Techniques Accent Brush. I then lightly fill in my brows using the darkest brown, as it matches perfectly, and use the Real Techniques Brow Brush. This palette costs £9.00. I then highlighted under my brows using the No7 Stay Perfect Eyeshadow in 'Innocence' which cost £7.00.

Then went on the mascara and I use the Avon Infinitize Mascara which now costs £10.00 but when I brought it is was cheaper (oh well). This is my favourite mascara of the ones I have tried, and I have tried a lot! It makes my lashes look so long and the applicator makes it so easy to apply.

I then finish with my lips. As i wanted it more 'natural', I decided to use the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Colour Rush Balm in the shade 'Drive Me Nude'. I love this colour and this balm/lipstick/chubby stick. It's definitely one of my faves and only costs £5.99.

The Grand Total = £68.93

Honestly, I thought it would be a lot more.

Anyway thanks for reading, I hoped you liked it. And I don't really know who to tag as I'm quite new to Blogger so who ever wants to give this a go, please do! and let me know in the comments section below when you have and I'll give it a read ♥
