I haven't thought about that yet. But OUCH that's a lot of money Xx

i can send u a link to a website where i found my lady. i'll put i on ur wall hun xx

mine is i darlington hun not sure where your getting married its 15 for the trial cant remember how much for the day but no where near that xx

Mine is coming in at £175 for trial and on the day. Thats for hair and make up for me 4 bridesmaids and my flower girl.
Was recommened to me from a bride on here :-)

think mine is about £50 for hair and make-up

nics i'm getting married in durham

for £425 i'd expect several highlights lolights, a restyle, some makeup cement, dress and some flowers o and a cuppa tea lol
without the two extra trials it's still £315

my hair with trial is costing £50 and my makeup package which contains, facial, back and shoulder massage, manicure and pedicure, and eyebrow shaping plus the trial and makeup on the day is £125 so i am well happy with that. if anyone else wants makeup doing its £30 per person for trial and on the day and everyones hair if having a trial will be £50 each or £25 if no trial beforehand :)x

ye thats what i was thinking you could go to cheaper one just outside the centre i get my hair done in spenny and its cheap but prob to far for you xxx

My mums friends a hair dresser and so is one of my bridesmaids so ones doing my hair and the others doing the bridesmaids and the flower girl, i'm having sewn in extensions and colour and cut few days before so thats £150 and me and other bridesmaid are beauty therapists so i'm lucky with that one but I would say thats very expensive, my friend got married last year and it cost her £120 for her, 4 bridesmaids and her mum. Makeup should only be around £30-£50 for makeup depending on what you want doing x

my hair will be £200 on the day - covering my hairdressers costs for travel. i need some special treatments done beforehand, and a trial at christmas will cost an extra £100.

she is excellent though, and high up at the salon i go to.

well worth it.

Shop about as I got mine for £30 each hair and make up and she also does the lash extensions for £5.00 and nails too (forgot how much they are) She is also only charging me £10 for the bridesmaid that is just having her hair done so can't complain at them prices. I managed to find her through my photographers facebook page as I had asked if anyone knew any good make up ladies in the area and a bride that had just got married recommended her. I nearly dropped on the floor when she told me her prices.

See I would love to do that in Debenhams but I had a reaction to the make up last time - don't fancy looking liek a puffer fish again :( x

that's the thing about debenhams - loads of people have been using the make up so you don't want massive pustules in your photos and honeymoon pics.

the best all-day eyeliner i've ever had is the chanel retractable eye pencil. waterproof. it is EXCELLENT ladies and well worth the price - about £16.50 in debenhams and £23 in selfridges.

i SWEAR by it - it's fabulous

have fun girlies !

I can't remember how much I'm paying for my hair and makeup (I've written it in another thread on here, lol) but I know it's much cheaper than that. xxx

my hair dresser has said she will do all the hair put ups day and trial at £15 Per put up! So if thats a trial and put up on dayt per person it works out at £90 then thinking of having My Bms do my make up? and each others. But im worrying i will have cold sores etc as i get them when stressed and i know i will be stressing in case stuff goes wrong! even tho i know i will be planning for anythin that could cos not everything will haha (i hope that made sense!!) xx

still 425 is a LOT!!

drink plenty of fluids in the run up to the big day to avoid the coldsores and keep off the junk food that should help keep your hormones in perspective :)

my hair my aunties doing for free as a wedding presant trials included and for my make up its £15 for the trial and she will keep retrying until i find my fav then £20 on the day ive know here for a while but she has her own bissness so if anyone wants her link in the worcestershire kind of area ive got the 1

With reference to the post about the make up in department stores being used by lots of different people: when I had the makeover at Helen E who will also do my wedding make up for free if I want, the assistant used a new cotton bud to transfer each product individually to the back of her hand before applying it so that the tester wasn't contaminated, and she threw away the sponge that she had used to apply it to my face after she had finished, so I'm confident that I wont pick up anything there! Obviously, I would be far more concerned if the products were being applied directly from the tester!

Hi girls, mines £135 for hair and makeup on the day and £35 for the trial....she is the cheapest I have found in Kent atm..some are charging £200....But I was also advised just to have the bridesmaids round at my trial so they can discuss with the artist their ideas and then wont need an actual trial....to save some pennies.

Is anyone having the airbrush make up?? xx

It's like everything, mention the word 'wedding' and the price doubles! My macup artist is pretty well reknowned and I have booked her for a trial & wedding day macup at £110 each our bridesmaids just for the day are £12.50 each. There are elements of the wedding that I haven't cut back on by order of my OH, my hair however I have got my usual hairdresser to take a couple of hours of work and have agreed to pay her travel and obviously for her time, so I've made a saving there - it all balances out.

sounds a lot of money to me..;. making me panick now about the price of these things... i can understand why ppl do it themselves

@ pennie - that's good practice to throw sponges away etc

@ rachel - how much to come and do mine :)

aww really thanks hun you amazing star you !!

p.s. 1 week to go

Hi I am an Airbrush make-up Artist based in Surrey I sanitize everything that I use on each client that includes all the eyeshadows etc..... I can't believe someone was impressed that a make-up person threw away cotton buds and sponges! How distgusing it would be not to!
Anyway to get a cheap make-up artist you need someone who does not do makeup full time or you need someone who works in a salon or for a department store.
I am mobile in my price that I charge includes travel to and from the bride, it covers my make-up insurance (yes ladies your professional make-up artist SHOULD be insured) it also covers the products that I use and then my time. I do this for a living and I do 1 bride trial per day and 1 wedding per day.....

So yes definitely look around but if you want a Fully Qualified Professional Mobile Make-Up Artist don't expect to pay peanuts if you don't have much to spend either do it yourself or go to a department store.
