Re: makeup trial

Re: makeup trial

I tried to, I tried really hard. But my make-up artist wouldn't take any money at the trial. (Maureen Pedala).

Re: makeup trial

I gave mine 10$, because it was a free trial.

Re: makeup trial

Okay. I hope I dont' catch any bad vibes for this but....Don't most make up artists work for themselves? Why do you have to give a tip if they are profiting 100 percent for what they are doing? I usually tip because of the guilt but sometimes I wonder if I'm being too nice. I totally understand if they work for a salon but if they work for themselves why tip extra??? Especially when your paying close to 175 for both the trial and day of make up.

She did not charge me anything that is why I gave her $65.

Her name is Nil Muir and she is an industry person who works with Bride Magazine and people in the industry. Someone I knew very well recommend her to me.

Sorry, there is no wealth. The reason I tipped her $65 because my trial was free and since she did a wonderful job I think it was only fair to give her that.
