How much is your makeup artist charging?

Kreshelle, on February 16, 2021 at 10:50 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 18
Ladies, how much is your makeup artist charging? I reached out to someone I knew in h.s., because I see she's done make up for some models. She's charging $850 for myself and my wedding party of 6 girls. Is this a good price?

    I'm being charged $145 for myself plus a $95 trial and then $95 for each of my bridesmaids. So if I have 6 girls in my wedding party, it would be $810 total. All depends on their experience and where you live, but I personally think her rate is on average with the artists I've looked at.

    Seems like a good deal to me. The breakdown would be $250 bride and then $100 per bridesmaid.

    Take a look at thumbtack.com for prices in your area. No two people on the forums are paying the same price because it depends on your location. Large cities cost more than small towns

    Depends where you leave. We are getting married in Kansas . If i got married where i lived (Chicago) it wayyy more. Ima bridesmaid and makeup is 85.. yeah.
    MY WEDDING - I was quoted 120 for makeup from a salon which does wedding often then i branched out to one that the venue uses and she has been doing makeup for 20 years and im 75 then the other 7 are 60. So $495..

    Probably better to reach out to other MUAs in your area if you want a comparison point. Everyone has different skill, levels of experience, etc. I’m paying about $1250 for myself + 5 others. This includes my trial and travel, no touch ups. I could’ve gone cheaper but I liked this artist and her work the most. Had a bunch of options.

    I'm paying $1450 for myself, mom, and 5 bridesmaids, so I think that is a good deal!

    My makeup artist is changing me $450 just for me but that includes trail and a facial. But yes for 6 girls I think that's a reasonable price.

    Our artist charges $60 per service per person, bride vs bridesmaid pricing is the same! So for both hair and makeup it’s $120 per person. This doesn’t include a trial, the trial would be the same price, and it’s a destination wedding so we’re skipping the trial. They have rave reviews and I’ve seen tons of examples of their work so I feel comfortable with skipping the trial!

    Mine is $180 for hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, and $300 for my hair and makeup! Not sure if yours only includes makeup, I think so, but I think it's a good deal!
