Some people don't spend that much on make up at all.
It really depends what kind or type of make up our buying!
Women feel the need for make up to make them pretty and hide their spots and they feel payin out as much money as they want, they can do this.

Good quality make up is pricey.
Those who feel they must spend hundreds on make up alone, I believe are somewhat insecure within themselves, they may worry more about what they think others think and probably watch too much T.V. shows regarding celebrities etc.
Perhaps their friends are the same. A peer thing.
From my own experience, I have known two people in particular who were just general citizens (not in any type of show business) who had loads and loads of it available to themselves. Both had emotional underlying problems to do with self worth.
On the otherhand, perhaps they have a problem with binge spending. Shopping addiction. Make up is fun to buy as it is fun to try out. Not to mention, new make up is coming out all the time. Perhaps they want to feel that they are remaining up to date in the make up art fashion industry.

Makeup is a lot more complicated than guys think. You have to find the colors that complement your face, and sometimes the cheaper brands of makeup don't have those colors. Generally, more expensive makeup has more pigment and a wider variety of colors. Since I'm addicted to bright eyeshadow, I have to spend a little bit more...

I don't wear make-up...but maybe it's because they feel they have to wear it and it can get expensive to get the right kind.

I also don't get it! I think makeup makes you look a lot older! It also damages your skin. Me, I don't wear makeup at all! I only wear them for special occasions like when I'm a bridesmaid or when i attend serious functions.

I think make-up makes me feel better about myself. I like knowing I look my best.

Don't generalize. I probably spend less than $75.00 per year on makeup. Not everyone believe you have to buy expensive makeup.
