My trial was $50, so that does seem a bit high.

it would be 150 day of --- this girl is amazing, she's done my makeup twice before but now she she does a lot of makeup for tv and bigger clients so she can get away with charging more.

i dont know what to do

yea that does seem really high. i mean if shes someone you really want to use and LOVE her work, then I would say go for it. if you cant see yourself spending that much, maybe you can find someone who does very similar work for a lesser price.

I tentatively scheduled the trial for when I am back in NY.... I'm also considering booking her without the trial because she's done my makeup in the past... I wasn't expecting the trial to be $100!!!

yea if shes done your makeup before and you know her work well, i wouldnt do a trial. a trial is basically to see the artists work and see what would look best on you.

is $100 insane for a makeup trial?



is it airbrush? I am glad you asked this! I posted a question about the average cost and got a lot lower $ responses than what I was given.
I am paying $125! What are you going to do??

I think I paid $150 for my trial ... but that was for airbrush make up AND for hair. And she spent 4 hours on me!

Day of was $300 for hair and makeup.

Trial. I didn't even ask about wedding day!
It was a last minute recommendation because my original make-up and hair ladies hadn't realized the wedding they were doing the day before was a destination wedding.

It will be $210 for make up and hair! I don't wear make up, the extent is lip gloss, and I really would recommend a trial for myself because of this! Did I make a big mistake???
