Being a beauty aficionado, you probably give yourself an allowance for stocking on make-up every month or so. Maybe $50? $100, if you’re lucky? Well, for the rich and famous, and particularly Kim Kardashian, there really are no limits.
Redbookmag.com has revealed exactly what’s involved in Kim Kardashian’s daily make-up routine, and the mind-boggling amount her haul costs. During her make-up masterclass in July, Kim’s make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic used 40 separate creams, blushes, powders, and gels in over 50 – yes, 50! – steps, and spent a whopping $1,200 (AUD$1,628) on products, and nearly $1,700 (AUD$2,308) on tools.
