The $20 Make-Up Challenge

As a lover of youtube makeup guru videos I watch them daily and over the past few months I have continued to see the popularity of the $20 dollar makeup challenge grow. I began to wonder if this was something I could pull off - although I do love elf products most of those I love are found in the $3 so this forced me to think outside of the box and pick and choose which products I could recommend for a grand total of $20.

The objective, complete a full face of makeup you would actually wear for $20 or less (excluding sales tax) - seems easy enough right? Wrong - you never realize just how much money you spend on makeup until you are faced with the choice of only spending this amount and it also makes you appreciate those who seem to look flawless with the tiniest budget. 

This is every product I used on my face
