Makeup & Hair Cost

Rachel, 10 November, 2024 at 17:34 Posted on Beauty & Wellbeing 0 5
Hi all,


I’ve been quoted £460 for makeup alone this includes a trial for me and my makeup on the day as well as my two bridesmaids and mother on the day
Is this reasonable?

    I paid about the same amount for me (including trial) and make up on the day for 3 bridesmaids and my mum. I found cheaper and more expensive but liked the MUA I found.

    That sounds pretty good to me, but this is something you definitely need to shop around for. I've had quotes from about 6 different places so far. Best I've had is £390, that includes bridal makeup for me, a trial, plus makeup for my mum and my maid of honour.

    £460 for makeup including trial and makeup for bride, 2 bridesmaids and mother on the wedding day is quite reasonable in my opinion! Especially if you feel comfortable and trust the makeup artist. I have been quoted higher prices for the same service, so if you think the quality is ok then I think you should book it.

    Hi! That actually sounds fairly reasonable, especially if the artist is experienced and using quality products. Bridal makeup often comes at a premium because of the time, detail, and pressure involved plus you're also getting a trial and coverage for your bridesmaids and mum, which adds up.

    That said, it really depends on your location and what’s included. In some places, it can go even higher. Just make sure you’ve seen their full portfolio and discussed things like timing and touch-ups.

    By the way, if you're also thinking about feeling confident in your photos overall (especially facial features), some people look into subtle options like refining facial balance well in advance just something to think about depending on your goals.
