Could you ever go without makeup if the only makeup you could get was 8 times more expensive than now?

(It can never happen but use your imagination) If the process or materials for manufacturing makeup, lipstick, eye liner, foundation, etc got contaminated or such that if you used then your face would break out horribly in itchy boils, and the only makeup available were organic that didn’t work as well or last as long and was 8 times the cost of makeup now; what would you do? For the sake of having any makeup, would you spend $56 for a $7 lipstick? If you had to give up makeup, how you would feel? If you gave it up would you even leave the house, wear a scarf over half your face with large lark sunshades?

How would that change the media? Would the media pony up the cash to keep their stars and models in make up and pass the buck to the public somehow? Do you think they would push the ”natural look?”

To have makeup how much would you spend if you had to, to have some?
