With the cost of even drugstore makeup skyrocketing these days, I found myself calculating the total cost of my favorite makeup bag staples this morning. Here's a breakdown for my basic, everyday face; what's yours worth?

Face:
Foundation: Prescriptives Custom Blend Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer, $62
Blush: LORAC Desire, $18
Powder: DHC Flawless Finish Powder, $15

Eyes:
Concealer: Three Custom Color Concealer, $19.50
Eyeliner: Estee Lauder's Artist's Eye Pencil, $18.50
Mascara: Maybelline Lash Discovery, approx. $6
eye shadow: Various colors but favorites include MAC Neutral Pink, $14 (this gorgeous neutral is sold out online, but check your local MAC or Macy's)

I love posts like these. It's so much fun to see what other people use; I'm so nosy. :)

Face:
Foundation - Bare Minerals $25
Blush - jane. Blushing Earth Sheer $3.79
Power - Bare Minerals Mineral Veil $19

Eyes:
Concealer - Lancome Maquicomplet $26.50
Eyeliner - NYX Long Pencil $1.00
Eye shadow - Smashbox Big Screen Trio $28
Mascara - Lancome Hypnose $23.50

Lip gloss - L.A. Colors lip gloss $2.00 (I LOVE this stuff!)

I keep wanting to switch mascaras since they're all basically the same, but I'm in love with Hypnose's brush. Does anyone know of any with a similar, square brush?
