Default Cost of Bridal Make up artist

I'm trying to find a bridal make up artist. I've got a list of people to ring round so hopefully will get one booked this weekend.

I know I need to have a trial first but roughly how much do they cost. I have absolutely no idea and don't want to have to pay too much really.

Also is there anything I should ask when I ring up.

Thanks

Mine was £110 do three faces! That included a full pre-day session where she practised all of us, not just me!

Her prices were £55 for just me, but we got a discount for having 3 of us to be made boootiful

Well worth it too, it all adds to the excitement of the day being pampered from start to finish!

Good luck, Lo xxx

Mine was £15 for the trial and £15 on the day (in her salon)

Depends if you want it done at home because then they charge quite a bit more

But I say what ever the cost it was money well spent (for me anyway!)

I had booked an excellent girl from Virgin and all in all for me and 3 other adults, it was just under £140 I think. She also gave us our trial for free and she was lovely.

I know its easy enough to do your own but as Lo said, it'll add a lovely pampering aspect to the day from the start!!

Good Luck

Mine was £60 for me, with a 2 hr 30 minute trial (We just kept talking... )and another £20 per BM , MOB, etc


She came to my house both times, and gave my BM enough lipstick etc to see me through the day.

I have to say I would recommend it thoroughly - I felt like a

my mum did mine and I wouldn't recommend it cos she got distracted by her own role in the day and toddled off halfway through, leaving me and the CBM to finish up.............
