I've just been having a look at prices of make-up artists and I'm amazed people charge so much. One woman wants £35 every half hour and an extra £20 if your only booking for one person...
What are the prices you girls are paying or willing to pay?
And can anyone recommend a make-up artist in Bristol?

That's what I have been doing but they all seem so expensive.. £35 every half hour for the trial and then £60 on the day just for make up :-/

When I went a wedding fair, this one woman does pamper parties for £10 per person, and you could use that as your trail, Then she was charging £20 for the bridal make up & £18 for mothers and BM. I was expecting it to cost more than that. Oh, she also charged for travel to which was £5-£15 depending on how far you lived from her.

I had a make up trial with a woman a little while ago, was £20 for the trial but it was awful, she used bright blue eye shadow lol
This is gonna be tough!

I was lucky as today when I went for a free airbrush trial I got a full trial for free :D but I mite have another one closer to the wedding...but for a trial and makeup on the day it is £70 - I would def recommend airbrushing tho...
My sister in law is doing my hair but I am paying £25 each for bridesmaids on the day and if I did have mine done it would be £70. xxx

I had no idea what to budget for, so had a google and got prices from 150 up to 300 just for bridal! Some were charging 150 just for hair! With make up making it almost double. I came to the conclusion that it was dependent on where you lived (being London based, I reckon that might up the price quite a bit...!) but like the other girls said, it's also about how far they have to travel to you.

MrsMelodyWalker2b...I would pick a mid price range makeup artist....today when I had mine done the lady asked what I usually do if I was going out and colours etc and she kept to that mainly xx
CommentAuthorMrsMelodyWalker
I planned on not going to any more wedding fairs as I pretty much have everything done but I think I may have to go and have a chat with some make up ladies!

That would be a good idea. I met the lade I am going with at a wedding fayre and she was very responsibly priced xx
CommentAuthorMrsMelodyWalker
I think I might of found someone actually.. £90 for the trial and on the day. Just waiting to find out from my hairdresser when she can do a trial so I can try and get both on the same day so can see what it's like together

I am tempted to do my own make up as I had it done previously and I don't like what they choose for me in eyeshadows, etc. and I know what I like. I have one of my bm who could do it, but I don't feel good when someone touches my face to put make up so I dunno what to do.
Soon to be Mrs Gary Doublé
Everything is now booked
Getting really stressed and excited now

I'v bought my own make up. I'v been for makeovers before and they made me look like a doll. I want to look like myself on my wedding day. I have also broke the rules on wedding make-up. I have bought the brands that I know, tried and tested. No fancy stuff, just plain and simple brands that I know last, know suit me and make me feel great. Nothing worse than buying a new foundation and it lasting 2 mins and rubbing off when you are at work, nevermind on your big day. Barry M do some stunning dazzle dusts in neautral tones that there is a famous chemists out there that ALWAYS have it on offer.
