How much to charge for Wedding make up?

[Nicki-Marie]

I charge £32.50 for the trial and £32.50 for the actual day. If they want me to travel to their location I charge £20 extra for this as im salon based, so close the salon while im with them.

i always do a trial and i have started at 5am i dont find it stressfull at all i have had some horrific brides bless them but if im calm they are calm and im not fiting against the clock as i always make sure there is way anoth time for the make up and any hair i am doing that is what the trial is for as well to make sure that you know your timings pazzy says she is the cheepst can i ask then what you charch for wedding make up including trial as i know in my area i can not be beet on price just intrested.

I'm in Sunderland..

I have done bridal make-up that long now I have recently met up with brides again that are now into their second marriages.

As for timings - because you do the hair you can make sure they are done in time - but sometimes I can be waiting on brides getting back from the hairdressers. I am calm - but you know brides get stressed out at most things - 'oh my god the cars are here'.

When it comes to cost - you charge what your worth. xx

i dont charge what im worth or i would charge a lot more than i do i charge what people can afford i might be blowing my own whisle hear but i have been asked to teach master classes on hair put ups at a collage so i am prity good at what i do but money is tight for so many people now days i like to think that my charges are in the reach of allpeople for there wedding or specila occasion not just the well off onece. and as i love doing what i do it's not like a job it's fun even when you get stressed out brides.

Well as it looks like your really good at what you do - the hair you do is beautiful - you will be surprised what people are willing to pay for a good job.

I can't justify those who charge £300 for make-up - even if they have done x amount of years studying. Those sort of prices are what they charge on tvI did 2 years at college - but that doesn't justify me charging loads for a make-up. I charge around £50 for trial and day make-up.

I charge slightly more for airbrush - because it takes longer to set up - and cleaning. It's a nice job - a nice stress.
