Cost of makeup trial

MUAs in my area charge between $250-$400 for bridal makeup, and that usually includes a trial. Just a trial is about $125. Bridesmaid makeup is usually $75-$125.

I was able to purchase a package that included hair/MU trial & day of, mani/pedi, and even a massage... $590

Everything I have found near me in Dallas, is upwards of $300 for day of. Trials are priced about $150. Currently searching out freelance artists, as they may be cheaper(hopefully) than a company.

Trial is 200, day of is $215 but she has a six services minimum (my hair and makeup counts as two services) all in all it may end up being close to $900, but well worth it because she does amazing work

Where in CA??? That's dirt cheap. I'm in LA area and my trial was $115, day of is $125. Bridesmaids are $75.

My make up trial was $35 and day off the wedding is $80 I think for full face. Hair trial was also $35 and day of will be $75 for down do/ pinned half way up

All the LA brides are like O.O where?

But really...where?

For me, the day of is $200 and the triaI I think is $185.

My trial in Oregon was 45. Once I got to the appointment she said if I booked with her the trial amount would go toward the cost of the the day of which was a nice surprise!

I paid $160 for a hair/makeup trial in OKC. Day-of was $205 + tip. And well-worth it, because I felt amazing.

My trial for h&mu will be $175

That's a good price! I think for me, the trial was maybe $10 less than the real deal. It was either the same price or very close to it.

LA brides...BAKERSFIELD! Everything in Bakersfield is pretty well priced!

As a makeup artist, it is important to remember that although it is "just a trial" your makeup artist is still travelling, using the same amount of products, and often spending more time with you during your trial than on your actual wedding day. For this reason I charge the same price for a trial as I would for a single bride on her wedding day. After all, the service is the same, the only difference is where you're going after your makeup is done! And let's say I discount the trial, who is to say you're not just getting your makeup done for fun and never booking me again? Try to see it from that perspective.
