How much does a make up trial cost?

Lonyah, on January 6, 2012 at 6:30 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 29

I just received a quote for myself and bridal party. I plan to have 7 BM. The trail for the bride is 100. Wedding day for $150 for the bride and $75 for each BM. Total minus hair is $775. Is this a reasonable price? Do I need to include my mom's makeup?

    I paid about the same, and I've never heard of the bride getting her makeup free.

    My trial makeup is 25 and day of is 35. My hair is 45 for the mothers (short hair) and 55 for updo's but my trial and day of hair are free because there are 4 bridesmaids and 2 mothers, plus she is colouring my hair a few days before hand.

    In my area (nj/ny) brides are usually 100ish day of and BM's 75. I have never heard of a free bride deal.... MU only. I don't understand why anyone would do a bride free when the bride is the most expensive 'face' of the day....

    Ok I'm looking into prices as well but if I can't find something reasonable my girls and I will just go to Macy's and get make up up done for free and the on;y thing they ask is that u buy something but u don't half to.

    I am getting my trial next month and I am paying $50 for the trial and if I book with her it goes towards my make-up for the day. But The quote I received for my bridal party including the moms were close to $700. Not going to happen I dont have that kind of money to pay for everyone so they can do their own or have my cousin do it who is a mary kay consultant.

    My MUA is friend from HS but she went to school and does it professionally for a living and she is charging me $65 each. I am in a wedding in July and her MUA is $150 for the bride$110 for the BM if they want it...plus $15 for lashes....yikes!!

    I'd say your are pretty average on pricing, but see if you could negotiate it a bit further
