    Found a makeup artist that I'm happy with from what I saw from her website and she uses MAC cosmetics and airbrush foundation which I love and also she puts on false lashes (another requirment I had).  Her price for a trial and wedding day makeup including lashes is $195.  Sound about right or too high?

    That is a little higher than what I paid for mine but it might be realistic for the South Carolina area.

    I think that for the products and services you are getting that that is a pretty good number. Airbrush foundation is expensive in general, so that is probably the major factor that ups the cost. But you are getting MAC products too which are great and you get a trial as well. Does the trial include the airbrushing too? If so, I think it is a good price. At least that is even less than what I ran into around metro Detroit where I live.

    I didn't realize when I read before that it was airbrushing.  That probably explains the higher cost compared to mine (I had MAC products too).

    You guys rock. All I needed was a little sanity check.
