So this popped up as a suggestion on youtube.. A drag race inspired makeover, which also includes a link to all the products she used:
http://www.nikkietutorials.com/site/2015/04/vintage-glam-prom-makeup-tutorial-%e2%88%99-rupaul-inspired/
Not going to lie, she looks great after applying makeup (looks very natural, but at the same time very coated like drag). So then I thought "heck, I'm a pretty good painter, so long as I had good paint maybe I can look that pretty. I especially like the multi-shade foundation which makes the blush pop". Yea, then I started pricing everything out (keeping in mind these are online prices, not department marked up prices)

Ready for your total?
$559! That's right, to be that beautiful, it will cost you morning starbucks for about 1/3 of a year. I have multiple problems with this list:
1. I realize higher end brands typically work better, but do we really have to go all out?
2. Anything that says "makeup studio" seems to only be sold in Britain, and is expensive.
3. I think there's some overboard color choices here.
4. Most importantly, who has this much makeup? I would be so worried about it going bad. I'm guessing she's either well off, she only buys makeup with youtube money, or companies are sending her free samples to do makeup tutorials like this one.
If you stumble across any great makeup tutorials on a budget, please post a link to it. I did find this one:

although I probably wouldn't buy all the products shown (I just placed an order on amazon for natural eyeshadows, mascara, and an eyebrow pencil), some of the bases like the foundation, the powder, the highlighter, and the foundation sponge are things I might consider picking up.
