Makeup

The other day I was driving to work when the people on the radio were discussing how much it costs certain celebrities to look good each month. The one person I heard discussed was Jennifer Aniston, most known for her role on the television show Friends as well as many, many other movies. They stated that it costs her $8000 a month to basically look good. What they meant by this is how much it costs her to buy things such as make-up. This number is ridiculous. It got me wondering why it costs them so much when it costs me so much less than that. It is just crazy to me. It also got me wondering how much the average woman spends on makeup as well. On this site I found it states that the average woman will spend up to $15000 on makeup in her lifetime between the ages of sixteen and sixty-five. It also broke it down by saying that each woman spends about $43 each time shes goes out and gets makeup, and that this happens about five times a year. Honestly, that seems high to me. That could just be because I do not wear all that much makeup. I wear mascara, foundation, and that powder that goes all over your face (I honestly don't know what to call it) on a regular basis. Occasionally I will wear eyeliner and eye shadow, but that is only occasionally. Each of these is approximately $5 each, so I assume I probably spend about $15 or maybe $20 every three months or so on makeup. The math of that is only about $80 or so a year, not $216, but that is just me. This video talks about how much it costs to buy all the makeup for someone's face. For those out there who feel you spend too much on makeup, this site compares the prices of makeup to help find the cheaper kind and where to buy it. I find it crazy that people will spend gobs of money on makeup, but that is probably just me being cheap. It also the fact that some people have the money to do that, and some don't. For those that do, spend freely! I hope some found this to be a bit interesting.
