    Hey bees!

    I just got a quote for wedding day makeup inc. travel for my wedding by the woman who did my makeup for the boudoir shoot I posted about yesterday. You can see she does an AMAZING job but is $130 a lot for makeup?? I have no clue-- you tell me! Thanks! :)

    You look beautiful.  Honestly, I'd pay her whatever she asked! Why mess with perfection?

    That's about what I paid.  Does it include a trial too?

    hmm for a trail and TRAVEL (IF she works in a salon normally) I'd say thats ok. Mine is $100 - for about 45 min, air brush, lashes and its a person I use for other services normally so my trial is free. - and that is in the salon.

    Does that include a trial? I got quoted the same amount w/ trial and $65 without. It does seem like a lot to me but I'm terrible at makeup so I'm willing to pay!

    It does NOT include a trial... the trial is another $50 but wasn't going to do it since I know what an amazing job she does!

    @fourpeass who are you using since I'm in your same area?

    @Lindsay awww thank you soooo much!!! :)

    I emailed her back saying to be honest that is more than I had budgeted for makeup so maybe she'll come down? we'll see!

    Anyone else?

    I am paying way more than that unfortunately, so it sounds like a good deal to me, especially if you know she does a good job!

    I paid $175 in S. Fla and that included fake eyelashes, the lipcolor she used on me and a special oil zapping compact for touchups.

    The trial was either $50 or $75

    i think thats how much mine is too.  she also did my boudoir shoot and charged me $80 for that.. but that is counting as my trial.. i trust her, she's fantastic.

    That's not bad and your trial is only $50 - $75!!! Mine is $75 per service. So my hair and makeup for trial and day of is $300! Yikes!!!
