Your makeup artists questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much do makeup artists charge?

Makeup artists charge $60 to $170 per person on average for a basic, non-bridal makeup application. Freelance makeup artists charge $50 to $120 per hour. Makeup artists charge a flat rate, per hour, per half-day, or full-day, depending on the service.

Common services or skills include:

  • Traditional makeup
  • Airbrush makeup
  • Bridal makeup
  • False eyelashes or extensions
  • Hair styling
  • Brow shaping or microblading

How much do makeup artists charge for weddings?

Wedding makeup costs $80 to $300 for the bride and $75 to $150 per person for the bridal party. Most brides choose a hair and makeup package, which costs $180 to $600 total. Some makeup artists apply some basic makeup to the flower girl for $10 to $50.

What is a makeup artist?

A makeup artist is a person who is trained to apply cosmetics, usually for special events or photoshoots. Makeup artists usually perform a consultation or trial to see if their skills and products are a good fit. A basic package typically includes:

  • Primer
  • Foundation
  • Concealer
  • Blush
  • Eyeliner
  • Eyeshadow
  • Mascara
  • Lipstick
  • Setting powder or spray

Some makeup artists include airbrushing, contouring, false lashes, or a touch-up kit in their basic service. Others offer these features for an extra charge.

How long does a makeup artist take to do makeup?

A makeup artist takes 60 to 90 minutes to do most makeup applications. Wedding makeup takes 60 to 90 minutes for the bride and 30 to 45 minutes for bridesmaids. Complex styles or designs take longer than simple or everyday looks.

Do you need a license to be a makeup artist?

Makeup artist licensing rules depend on the state. Most states require a cosmetology license in salon settings. However, most states do not require a license for non-salon services like weddings, photoshoots, or private events.

How much should I tip a makeup artist?

Most customers tip a makeup artist 15% to 25% after the application, but it's not always necessary. Freelance makeup artists who set their own prices do not typically expect a tip. Most customers tip for exceptional service, much like other industries.

Tipping a makeup artist at a beauty counter is not expected, and some businesses don't allow it.

How do I choose a makeup artists?

Start by searching our list of local makeup artists, then:

  • Compare at least three free estimates.
  • Read reviews and look at pictures on Fash and Google.
  • Look for licensed or certified stylists or members of the International Association of Professional Makeup Artists (IAPO)
  • Choose an artist who's experienced in the style you want done.
  • Ask about what products they use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
  • Make sure they're available on the day you need them.
  • · Avoid making large payments up front.

What questions should I ask makeup artists?

To find the best makeup artist for you, ask the following questions:

  • How long have you been doing makeup?
  • Do you have a portfolio?
  • What certifications and licenses do you have?
  • How far in advance should I book?
  • Can you create the look I want?
  • Do you require a deposit?
  • What is your cleaning and sanitation procedure?
  • Do you charge a flat rate or hourly fee?
  • Do you have any group rates?
  • How long will the appointment take?
  • Will you give me an estimate and contract in writing?

Reviews for Norwalk makeup artists

DJ Sho Off has set the mood for the UASE for the past 3 years. His intuitive selection of sounds keep the crowd immersed in our themes and our celebrity guest like Michael Jai White aka Spawn, Black Dynamite and Bronze Tiger along with Nafessa Williams aka Thunder and Blackbird from Black Lightning are definitely feeling the vibes as he helps guide the pulse of our Urban Action Expo event which focuses on diversity and honoring the multicultural achievements in the blockbuster Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Martial Arts, Superhero and Supernatural genres. DJ Sho Off joined our NY Comic Con event last year and helped us take our promotions to the next level. I recommend his services if you are looking for a unique entertainment experience backed by professionalism and punctuality. Just make sure you don't try to book him on my dates else we are going to have a problem! Lol

Katherine is tremendous in her craft. We hired Katherine as our Key Hair & Makeup artist for a feature film and we couldn’t have made a better selection. She is incredibly skilled in beautifying our talent as well as dousing them in blood to match continuity. Whether she is recreating a look from a different shoot day or making her own decisions, her work is always precise to detail and never disappoints. Katherine has proved to be a valuable asset to any job and accurately estimates her needed time for her work, allowing our production to maintain our schedule. She is resilient and extremely knowledgable in how to best accomplish the objective/tone in hair, beauty, and special effects makeup. She asks story questions to better inform her final result, simultaneously educating our team about accuracy to job we are requesting (ie. how injuries time, progression of bruises, etc.). Katherine goes above and beyond to replicate realism, and quickly adapts to last-minute schedule adjustments. Katherine is careful to protect her clients from illness by keeping her station sanitary and designating assets for specific people; she takes the extra step to inquire of potential allergies. She provides a friendly face and attitude with her subjects, allowing them to feel pampered in a safe place. In the event that you request a slight change/addition to her work, she is resilient to provide the exact intention and does so with an incredibly positive attitude. Katherine is both a team player and an outstanding artist when working solo. She is a leader and forms plans with her team for efficiency, however handles larger jobs with incredible independence and confidence. On a single shoot day, Katherine managed two women’s hair and makeup, one man’s hair, and monitoring them plus an additional two actors for last looks in camera. Without her on set, we would not have been able to shoot everything we planned. She is an obvious hire.

I loved that she was so attentive to me on my wedding day! I was so stressed about it raining and she continued to tell me that the bigger blessing is that I’m marrying the love of my life. And honestly that really made me forget about the weather! Her service is amazing but it’s really her personality and spirit that would make me always want to hire her. She cares not just about the job but about her clients making sure they feel special.

I can’t say enough good things about Val. She did my makeup for my bridal shower and my wedding day and I felt so beautiful! Val is extremely talented and has a calming demeanor which makes her the perfect MUA. I highly recommend her to any bride or anyone who wants professional makeup done for an event!
