Hmm.. so I take it your Mother-in-Law isn't so nice? I don't know why there is a greater charge but if you find out let us know. <br /> <p> <a href="http://igroomzillaubride.blogspot.com/"> -Groomzila</a> </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-a-bitch-fee#post-70291 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:34:14 +0000 saltyveruca 70291@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I would ask for sure, but I imagine it has something to do with dealing with older skin. A young bride's skin is just easier to work with than her mom's. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-a-bitch-fee#post-69891 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:12:06 +0000 emmkae 69891@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>$100 isn't too bad....usually its at least $175 around the Chicago area and that's for someone not that experienced. For someone with a ton of experience the going rate is sometimes $250 to $350.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-a-bitch-fee#post-69877 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:34:12 +0000 1Bride2Be 69877@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I would ask the makeup artist to justify the cost difference and then shop around and see what other makeup artists in the area are charging and find out why they are structuring their fees that way.&nbsp; Then make your discision based on the info you've gathered. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-a-bitch-fee#post-69685 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 13:21:48 +0000 LeahB 69685@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>CarolineG,&nbsp;I figured it was the going rate for Westchester.. I just don't want to pay it<img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_razz.gif" /> </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-a-bitch-fee#post-69631 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:01:25 +0000 CarolineG 69631@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>LeahB, that's actually spot-on pricing for a makeup artist - especially in the NY metro area (I see you're getting married in White Plains). As crazy as it sounds, it also sounds crazy to spend upwards of $6000 for four hours of photography, but you get what you pay for. Quite honestly, a great makeup artist should make you feel like a supermodel! That's why trial runs are so important. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-a-bitch-fee#post-69619 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:05:16 +0000 LeahB 69619@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I just got&nbsp;pricing from a make up artist: $200 for the bride, and $100 for anyone else. Uh, what? So similar idea, but switched. But I think if I'm paying anyone $100 or $200&nbsp;to do my make up, they better make me look like a supermodel! Haha. Although, do you think maybe they are thinking a &quot;mom&quot; will take more make up and work than a bride? That's terrible to think about, but who knows. However, I agree, I would find out how much a bridesmaid, for example, would be. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-a-bitch-fee#post-69543 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 10:05:53 +0000 dreambml 69543@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>why dont you ask her?&nbsp; is anyone else getting their makeup done?&nbsp; ours was the same for everyone, including me and my mother. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-a-bitch-fee#post-69510 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:23:21 +0000 warriorweddingplaner 69510@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>It sounds like a special promotion or something. Like a grooms tux is discounted if all the groomsmen pay. I don't think it has anything to do with a &quot;bitch fee&quot; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/is-this-a-bitch-fee#post-69506 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 02:59:55 +0000 ju1244 69506@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>One make-up artist wants to charge $100 more for the mother of the bride than for the bride--whats up with this? &nbsp; </p>
