We've created a new column, Show Me the (Makeup) Money, to uncover the beauty products our fashion friends genuinely keep in their daily rotation—and how much their stash actually costs. I'll be delving inside their bags on your behalf and totting up every item in there, from the most expensive to the cheapest. Not only will you be left with an incredible shopping list, but also a realistic price tag to boot. Is there someone whose makeup bag you're dying to see inside? Slide into my Instagram DMs with your requests, and I'll see what I can do. This month, we're delving inside the everyday makeup bag of actress and Instagram star Tanya Burr.
It's no secret that Tanya definitely knows a thing or two about makeup. Starting her career working on a beauty counter, she went onto garner millions of followers worldwide for her beauty tutorials on YouTube. These days, the actress might be more known for her Dior gowns than her contour, but it doesn't mean I'm any less interested in the products that Tanya swears by. A quick scroll of her Instagram reveals her penchant for fresh skin, nude lips and some of the best brows in the business, so I couldn't wait to see what was inside her makeup bag to get her classic beauty look. Keep scrolling to shop Tanya's everyday beauty must-haves (totalling £173) for yourself.
"I love this foundation because it sits so well on my skin even though it's quite high coverage. It lasts all day and looks so natural. Favourite new discovery."
"This is the brush I use for the Max Factor foundation. I just use a tiny amount and buff it in."
"I'm not very fussy with brow pencils, as I had mine microbladed, so I don't need much on them. I just like to darken them a little with this."

"I love a cream blush, so it feels as natural as possible. This is such a pretty colour and blends really well."
"Again, I love using cream products, and this gives an incredible glow without being too shimmery."
"This has been my favourite bronzer for a long time. I like that it comes in a mini version, as it fits nicely in my makeup bag, which I often take to the gym. I just use a big brush and sweep it over my forehead, temples and just under my cheekbones for a bit of a contour."
"I don't like a very made-up look, so I never use lipstick unless it's for a red carpet or big event. This Dior tinted lip balm is perfect, as it adds a little tint and hydrates my lips."
"This is one of the best mascaras ever. Dior really do the best ones. I like any of theirs."
