Cost of makeup trial

Ms.Fox, on June 30, 2017 at 1:16 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 34

How much did you pay for a makeup artist to do a trial? I know cost probably varies depending on where you live, I live in California. The Mua I am trying out is charging $50. I was just curious to see if this is around normal or close to what you paid.

Her wedding day charge is $65 for the bride and $55 for all others. I have never had my makeup professionally done, I am good at doing my own. Because I am a first timer, I'm not sure what normal prices are. Her prices seem very reasonable....What are you all paying for a trial & wedding day makeup?

    That's very reasonable especially for California. I live in Ohio and the few places I checked out were around the same prices as you.

    That's a great price! I'm right outside of Philly. My hair and makeup day of was $185.

    My trial was $135 I think.

    @ jersey girl I figured it seemed like a good price for where I live. Hopefully I'll like her work! I feel pretty confident because I know what I like, and should be able to relay that to her!

    @Nas, definitely team lashes! I plan to provide my own, since I have a favorite.

    @OP- rereading after some sleep....mine included hair and makeup. However I believe MAC, Sephora and places like that are $50 around here so having the added benefit of someone coming to you for the same price is great

    My trial is 100, or 125 if I opt for airbrush, and day of is like 175. Expensive but it was one of the few in my area that travel to you the day of the wedding and I really like what they've previously done
