If you're considering taking up intensive makeup courses then you probably spend plenty of money on cosmetics.
But would it shock you to discover that the total figure most likely amounts to nearly £9,000?
Research by Superdrug has shown that women aged 16 and over shop for new makeup, such as mascara, foundation and lipstick, at least five times a year, spending a minimum of £26.24 on each occasion.
This amounts to £131.20, or £8,528 in a lifetime, and if you're so into beauty that you would consider going on intensive makeup courses, the chances are you'll spend more than that.
No doubt you would also agree with the 3,000 women who were polled by Superdrug, most of whom said that cosmetics are worth every penny. Seventy per cent said they would never leave the house without makeup.
Another good reason to spend money on makeup is to replace old items. Recent research by Debenhams found that most women only buy new cosmetics and skin care when the old ones run out, however long that takes.
