I did my make-up like I do any other day, but this time I made sure I put everything in a make-up bag so that I could figure out actually how much I'm putting on my face. It goes without saying that none of these beauty products were bought all at once. They have been collected over time and have become some of my favourite products that I reach for most days.
Let me take you through what and how I used the products and then I'll let you know all the prices and exactly how much my face is worth!
First of all I took the Tarte rainforest of the sea foundation in the shade fair neutral. Then I took the Urban decay concealer in the shade light warm, under my eyes. This is great at concealing those under eye bags and lasting all day, but it can sometimes crease up later on. So I also use the Bourjois radiance reveal concealer in the shade ivory, which helps to brighten the under eyes and also stops the creasing of the urban decay concealer as it keeps the under eyes hydrated for 24hours. The last concealer I use is for any redness and blemishes, its the Benefits Boi-ing concealer in the shade 1. This covers any blemishes and redness really well. It also lasts all day. To set my base in place I use the Benefits porefessional pro powder. This helps to make my base look even more flawless and keeps shine away all day long.
Onto my eyes and I always start with my Urban Decay primer potion. I then used one of my favourite eye shadow palettes, Urban decay's naked 3. I love this palette, there is so many colours that blend so well together. Once I've chose the colours I want to use, which this time was nooner, black heart, buzz, burnout and strange. I then line my eyes with the amazing liner from Kat Von D, her tattoo liner in trooper. This doesn't budge all day and is extremely black, its also super easy to do the winged liner with this.
Back onto the face and time to add a but of colour back into my skin. The bronzer I used was Benefits hoola, this is a soft bronzing powder that makes you look like you've had a day in the sun. My blusher is also by Benefit, its their Rockateur blusher. I've had this in my collection for a while and it's only this year that I've really come to love this blusher. This just add that perfect pink flush to your cheeks, with a slight gold shimmer to it. For my highlighter I used collection speedy highlighter in the shade pearl sheen, you just sweep this on your cheeks and blend with your fingers. It's super easy and super quick.
To make my brows look on point I used Benefits new Ka-Brow, it's a brow gel that's waterproof, so it stays in place all day. To finish my eye off I used Benefits they're real tinted primer to protect my lashes from drying out and then I topped that off with my better than sex mascara from Too Faced.
To complete my look I used No7's lip liner in Nude and Urban Decay's lipstick in the shade Liar. It's one of my favourite lip combo's

Omg!! I'm actually shocked at how much money I put on my face, it's crazy. Over the years and as I've got older I've definitely switched to more high end make-up. That's down to the fact that I can afford to buy more expensive make-up now. It's also down to the fact that I love urban decay and Benefit as a brand.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing how much money I apply to my face most days!! Let me know how much your face is worth in the comments. I'm intrigued to find out if I'm not the only one with an extremely overly expensive face.
